Become a legend in your own right with Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Designed for the Nintendo Wii, this video game was developed by Neversoft Entertainment and Activision. Choose from over 70 tracks, many of which use master recordings from the original artists, to channel your inner musician. The improved graphics give this game an authentic look and feel. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock utilizes a wireless, guitar-shaped controller. Like many rhythm games, you must simulate playing an instrument in time with the scrolling notes on the screen. To score points, players must hit the strum bar while pressing the corresponding fret buttons. When you're playing a song in this game, the virtual band will perform in time to the music on the screen. Guitar Hero III lets you rock out to many popular tracks. Groove along with classics such as Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones and Black Magic Woman by Santana. Melt some faces with Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses or The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden. Strum on to The Devil Went Down to Georgia by Steve Ouimette and Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine. Try your guitar skills at the notoriously difficult Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce. The selection of songs in Guitar Hero runs the gamut that includes blues, alternative, glam rock, heavy metal, and more. Special cheats allow you to instantly unlock tracks if you're impatient to start rocking out.As in earlier versions of Guitar Hero, you can embark on a career mode in either single player or co-op. Earn money to unlock new characters, videos, guitars, music tracks, and other surprises while competing in many different venues. The tracks are divided into tiers based on the difficulty level you've selected. Once you complete a certain number of songs, you can unlock a new tier. For the first time in the series, you get to test your guitar techniques against real-life legends. Stars like Slash, Tom Morello, and others confront players at various points. The object of these encounters is to drain their meter by outperforming them at their own songs. There is also a unique storyline that's told through animated cartoons. This version of Guitar Hero features both local multiplayer and online competitive play over a network connection. There are three modes for multiplayer: Face Off, Pro Face Off, and Battle mode. In the Face Off modes, two players attempt to gain the best score on a given song. In the battle mode, players attempt to disrupt their opponent by storing up attacks and unleashing them at propitious moments. The objective is to keep going until one person fails. The Wii guitar model for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is based on a Les Paul design, with a special slot for placing the remote. The game utilizes the remote's internal speaker and rumble technology to provide feedback on missed notes. Music-based games such as this title provide plenty of replay value. If you're ready to embrace your inner legend, you'll enjoy rocking out to Guitar Hero III.
