The Guitar Hero franchise, is one of the most loved and followed franchise in the gaming world. People love the idea of pretending to be a rock star stripper and being able to actively involve themselves by playing the controls on the guitar. This makes even the smallest of musical talented people feel like a musical giant. It was this following that has brought about the development of guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
Legends of Rock, available on all major platform systems, is not just a slight update from the previous games, but is instead a fresh experience worthy of purchase even if you own the others in the Guitar Hero series. If you haven't played any of the Guitar Hero games of the past, the premise is simple. Using the guitar controller, you play along to the music by hitting buttons on the controller as their corresponding shapes scroll down the screen in front of you. The basic tenant of the game is to correctly time your strumming - when done correctly, even the most amateur player can sound like a rock star.
Although the game play in Guitar Hero III is 99% similar to previous games, it has an entirely new and different soundtrack, which is undeniably the best in the series. Along with the new tracks come a list of impressive rock and roll legends, such as Slash and Jimi Hendrix. Although the storyline is minimal, it is important to remember this is not a game that requires much of a story.
Music games are only as good as they sound, however, and Legends of Rock sounds great, especially if you have access to a surround sound system. Just be careful that your neighbors aren't around when you end up going in to "star power" mode, as this game really cranks when you want it to! Graphically, Legends of Rock isn't the most impressive showstopper available, but again, this game is not about graphics or storyline.
If you are in the hunt for a fun, easy to pick up game to share with friends, Legends of Rock is the game for you.
