Guitar Hero III dated News

PC PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Tom Bramwell

22 October, 2007

As we pointed out earlier, retailers have been promising us Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on 23rd November for a little while now, but now Activision's officially saying the same thing. Hurrah!

That means that you will be able to go out to a shop or an Internet in a month's time and put down for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii or PS2 version of Guitar Hero III, either stand-alone (for 360 and PS2, anyway), or with the new wireless Gibson Les Paul controller.

Fancy pants types might be getting excited about Harmonix/EA's Rock Band, due out for PS3 and 360 early next year, but Neversoft's first stab at the Guitar Hero motherbrand should be worth a look too, with songs from the likes of Muse, Killers, Chili Peppers and Guns N Roses with which to wirelessly rock out.

Retail also points to a PC launch on 23rd November, although Activision makes no mention of it - probably because Aspyr Media's handling it, not them. A DS version is also planned, although nobody seems to know when it will be finished, or even exactly how it's going to work. We've heard some rumours though, and it sounds funky.

Wondering whether it's any good? Well, if you have an Xbox 360, one of the Guitar Hero II controllers and a CD or DVD burner, you can find out today thanks to a downloadable demo.

Will be interesting to see how much this franchise's success depended on the developer..

I have a nagging feeling that it's the game idea that was it's biggest strength and that we won't be able to tell a difference.

Anyone with two sticks and a rock could take GH2 and engineer an appropriate sequel. Even if they have to share the rock.

This will be good.

I don't like what they did with the multiplayer part of the game, with all the powerups and what not. I'll still get the game, but I won't be playing that part of it.

Pfft. Holding out for Rock Band, as everything I've watched of this screams "THIS WAS MADE BY NEVERSOFT!!!!!1111 YOU CAN TELL YES!!!111!!!!1".

Never let a skateboard team do what a professional music studio used to.

I've heard activision don't region lock and this is already on playasia, so if you want it a few weeks early...

I'm waiting for my mate to get it, and if it works on his xbox, i'll order it myself.

Whats with guitar compatibility?
What guitars do PS3 owners who already have two PS2 guitars and are also going to buy Rock Band need to get?

I'll be getting the PS2 version next week. I didn't get the first two titles, so it'll all be new to me.

Where are you guys ordering the US version from?
PlayAsia says 'This item is not available for shipping to European Union' and won't let me checkout with it in the basket.
gamestop want me to fax a credit card statement, which is a tad unpractical to the US...

I was a little worried that Neversofts note charts were going to be cack, but having played the demo over the weekend my fears have been allayed.

There are only 5 tracks on the demo but, thankfully, the charts seem to be of the same quality as the previous games.

How come the Rock The 80's edition was released here within a week of the American launch, but now we have to wait a month ahead of the Yanks for GHIII? :(
