- THIS DOESNT COME WITH GUITAR
The description in the title clearly states (with wireless guitar controller). This product does not come with the guitar controller which seems outrageous to me as the price is the same as the shops with the guitar. Amazon have made a big mistake here as the item is not described properly and surely is in breach of some advertising standard.

- Excellent Buy
I have all of the other Guitar Hero games, and this is definitely the best! I don't know how people can say it isn't as challenging as GH2, it is MUCH more challenging. Try getting to the 8th stage, then the heat gets turned up a bit.
Arrived a day earlier than I expected from pre-order, very glad I did. Well packaged, as expected, and excellent enjoyment.

- Good rhythn game but by no means perfect and pricey too!
For this review I'll be looking at the accessibility, price, controller and how much fun you can have with Guitar Hero 3.
Let's go:
This was my first experience of a Guitar Hero game and it wasn't what I expected. I thought this was aimed at the casual `non' gamer crowd like Sing Star and Dance Dance Revolution. But finishing this game requires the same obsessive determination and hours locked in your bedroom as it took to learn the special moves in Street Fighter 2 back in the day. No joke, I've been playing video games and a real guitar for longer then I care to admit and I find this game really hard (in easy mode!). It's certainly addictive and a lot of fun but families will be better off with the current kings of the casual game market: Wii Sports, Brain Training and Buzz.
Something that doesn't help and was moaned about by other reviewers are the songs. It says there are 70 on the box. But you'll find 42 listed and players must unlock the rest by getting high scores. When you start the game you'll find ....... only 8 songs available to play? WHAT?!
And guess what kids...that's right, I only knew 1 of them.
As the game is this hard I don't fancy my chances of seeing more songs any time soon. The game certainly isn't worth the asking price for only 8 songs and what are the chances of you and your loved ones getting bored with the same 8 songs within a relatively short period of time? I hope I get a lot better at this game some time soon.....
For my next gripe: the price.
Yes you get a wireless guitar controller in the box. But hang on, Sing Star, DDR, Buzz, Donkey Konga, that Sega fishing game.... all of those games shipped with a special controller in the box and cost a darn sight less then this. Bah.
The one aspect of Guitar Hero 3 that does not fail to impress is the wireless controller. It's a beaut', works perfectly and even comes with some stickers so you can customise it. I amused myself for hours just posing with the guitar controller and pretending to shred, long before I touched the game disk.
What about the fun? The game is a lot of fun. If you've honed your skills on previous guitar hero titles then get this. Anybody can have fun with the practise mode.... but the difficulty level of the actual game will ensure it has a short life span in a lot of homes.
In conclusion: This is a fun and addictive game but it's not up there with the best of the best in the rhythn gaming world. Gitaroo Man on the PS2 & PSP and Ouendan or Elite Beat Agents on the Nintendo DS are a lot more fun, easier to get into, more intuitive and at least half the price of Guitar Hero 3.
Ultimately Guitar Hero 3 isn't any more fun then a regualr game despite the fancy controller and matching price tag. So if your thinking of buying this you've got to ask yourself if it's worth the extra money. If you're a die-hard gamer who loves to play air guitar the answer should be an emphatic YES!
But this is certainly not for everybody.

- GH2 is a better game and has a better guitar
I bought this package (game and wireless guitar) but I was not impressed by the new guitar: 1st of all it is not easy to start because the fret buttons are harder than the GH2 guitar and in the beginning I started to fail a lot, and I have the 3 other games of Guitar Hero. Then I moved to the "old" guitar and things got better. With the wireless guitar it seems to be more difficult to play and to move on. The game is great, it has strong songs but the graphics... I prefer the GH2 graphics, and in this GH3 game it takes much longer to save the game. I like the game but I'm disappointed with the guitar!
Rating: - Not as good as GH2
I love the game but it's a bit of a let down after GH2 and Rocks the 80s. First of all, the graphics aren't the best. It's very dull and quite difficult to see the rock meter. The hammer ons and pull offs are simple, which can only be a good thing.
I started on Hard Level and it was simple. I 4 & 5 starred everything up until section 8. It's like medium level on GH2 except there's an orange button. Expert is easy so far but I've only gone as far as the 5th section.
It's definitely nowhere near as challenging as the other games but the new battle mode is great fun.
