For Those About to Rock, Wii Salute You!
The Stuff of Legends!You've asked for it, and Activision is finally delivering; almost two years after the original game hit store shelves, the hugely popular Guitar Hero series is arriving on Wii in the form of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. If you're new to the franchise, here's the rundown: The game ships with a guitar controller. (The Wii version is wireless, much to our delight; you plug your Wii remote into a secure cubbyhole in the guitar, and you'll be rockin' from the kitchen in no time.) The five colored buttons on the neck of the guitar correspond with colored notes scrolling from top to bottom onscreen. You simply select a song, press the correct buttons in sequence, and flick a strumming switch in unison with the notes; just like that, a rockstar is born. The real fun starts once you've played a few tunes and built up some street cred on your plastic axe. Then just invite some friends over and crank the volume. Don't forget to invite the neighbors too—that way they don't call the cops.Legends of Rock is similar to previous Guitar Hero games, but the display has been overhauled. The score and star power graphics have changed, and 50-, 100-, and 200-note streaks are now announced while you riff.In addition to a new developer (other games have come from Harmonix) and new hardware, GHIII offers a whole set list of totally new tracks, some of which have been notably missing from the series thus far: you can finally play along with Metallica's “One,†Pearl Jam's “Even Flow,†Beastie Boys' “Sabotage,†and Smashing Pumpkins' “Cherub Rock,†to name a few. Also, more of the music tracks than ever before are performed by the original band, making it that much easier to get your rock on.If you're familiar with the series, not much has fundamentally changed. You now have the choice of playing through the Career mode with two players or trying your hand at a completely new Battle mode featuring power-ups you can use to throw off your rival's mojo. You can render an opponent's strings useless for a few seconds, or shake your adversary's fret board wildly. If you have only one guitar, worry not—just connect to the Nintendo WFC to challenge friend and foe alike, or search the leaderboards to see who's the top rocker.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is the third full game in the Guitar Hero series and fourth game overall. The gameplay remains similar to the previous games: using a guitar-shaped controller, you need to coordinate pressing the five fret buttons and strumming to the scrolling notes on screen. Missing notes will cause your performance meter to drop; if the meter drops too low then the performance is a failure and you will need to try again. This edition of the game features 71 new songs to play from various artists including Cream, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Santana, Sonic Youth, Weezer, and many more. In addition to the available songs the game also features "boss battles" against famous guitarists such as Slash, Tom Morello and Lou the Devil. Several game modes are available including career mode, co-op mode, and multiplayer mode. In addition to the main game modes, training and practice modes are available to aid in learning the game or figuring out a tricky passage in a song.
In career mode you play the part of a wanna-be rock star. Beginning with easier songs in small venues, you need to successfully complete tracks to make your way up to a superstar. Each venue you play requires a certain number of songs to be performed before you can move on to the next larger venue. Successful completion of songs also earns money which can be used to unlock characters, outfits, new guitars, and other bonuses.
The co-op career mode is similar to the single player variation, except two players work together (one on lead guitar, the other on bass or rhythm guitar) to complete songs.
The multiplayer game modes allow two players to compete against each other. In the Face-Off variation, two players take turns performing a song. The Pro Face-Off variation allows two players to compete at the same time playing the exact same note chart. Finally, in the battle mode each player can earn power ups by performing well which can be used to disrupt the other player.
