"Guitar Hero III"
As you can see this is a part 3 so you know if you liked the first 2 this new one can’t be all that bad, in fact I think it is a vast improvement over the first two. So here’s the low down on Neversoft and Activision's smash hit Guitar Hero III

Overview Guitar Hero III is sort of the Godfather to all rhythm based games despite the two that came before it, with 45 killer tracks on disk and more down loadable tracks then you can fit on your hard drive there is sure to be something for everyone in this game of fast finger skills.

Gameplay - 8.5/10
With Guitar Hero III being the master of game play options such as solo career, lead and bass, and several types of online play the game play here is outstanding to say the least but can get more then frustrating when you make your way to the higher skill levels, so as Hobb's and DJB have told me "practice practice practice".
the one and only down side I can find with the game play is it seems to be a bit too picky with button press timing and will leave you feeling as if you should have had the note and the small fact that no matter how fancy your whammy bar work is it will net you no score or bonus at all.

Graphics - 9/10
Since this game was going for more of a cartoon feel I got to say they did a top notch job here and the only thing that I feel was needed but never made the cut was the ability to make a full on custom character but I guess you can’t have it all, in no way do I feel this took away from the fun of this game so don't let it keep you from giving it a go

Sound - 9.5/10
With a huge pile of tracks and the ability to turn down the rest of the band so you can hear the scream of your guitar loud and clear you know this game has it ware it counts in the sound department and since it is a rhythm based game you know they put in overtime on the sound here.
From time to time when playing split screen co op you may notice the sound of one player over taking the other but it’s not a real problem over all as it’s not a constant thing.

Overall - 8.5/10
I feel this is by far the best guitar game on the market when you exclude the full band style games like GH world tour or Rock Band and is a must have for any Xbox 360 owners collection and if you’re in it for the gamer score you might want to look somewhere else since I found this game to be one of the most challenging games I have ever played.

So what are you waiting for, go get it and get to rocking out now.

Survey

Would you use a Halo 3 Video capture system for MW2?

I would LOVE this option and would use it.
Sounds cool, but not something I would use.
Don't plan on buying but may if it has capture.
Don't plan on buying and the addition won't help.
