Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I originally bought a PS2 just to play guitar hero 1.And it was quite ground breaking.I then followed it up and bought GH2 and Rock the 80's.GH2 was a big improvement over the first, and 80's is the exact same engine as 2, just with different songs and graphic overlays.
Now, I was expecting quite a bit for GH3 but I don't think I was expecting anything over the top of what is possible.And here start all my issues with GH3:
1.Sony added bluetooth to the PS3 which was an amazing idea.There was NO need to add a wireless dongle.There is wireless built into the PS3 for a reason, USE IT!A wireless dongle for PS2 would be understandable.But common activision, there is NO excuse for the dongle.
2. The implementation of the GH3 controller with the PS3 is below standards.You CANNOT turn on the PS3 with the controller like you can the sixaxis.
3. People have been waiting for a guitar controller for the PS3 so they can play the old GH's on the system.Here is the controller everyone has been waiting for, but sorry... this controller doesn't work with anything but GH3.GH I, II, and rock the 80's still have no way to play on a PS3 even though sony added backwards compatability for legacy games.
4. Why couldn't they model the guitar after a sixaxis?They could have made the guitar run just like a sixaxis which in turn would create a seamless integration with the PS3 like it should be.The 5 colored buttons could stay the way they are right now, the two bottom triggers on the sixaxis are pressure sensitive and could have been used for the wammy bar.The built in motion sensor could be the 'star power' trigger, and there is still many more buttons left over.There is no need for such a poorly integrated controller.
5. The overall timing of the game feels 'off'.I've calibrated and still the game doesn't feel right.
6. In practice mode, your calibration doesn't work.So if you calibrate your TV with lets say 50ms, in practice mode it's always at 0ms no matter what.In the high ms (80+) you will not be able to hit one note properly.Go try it and see for yourself.
7. There are some great songs on here, but there is way more filler than the good stuff.I've already beat the game on expert, and I got excited for maybe 4 or 5 songs the entire way through.Mostly it was "lets get this over so I can move on" type songs.
8. The guitar runs on 2 AA batteries.Again, if this was modeled after the sixaxis like it should have been, it would have been a simple usb cord to charge the guitar.Yeah I know it's just 2 batteries, but I still feel the developers were lazy putting this package together.There are positives, the removable neck is great, the guitar feels solid, removable face plate, updated graphics (720P), downloadable content in the future.But I still feel let down with this one.Let the flaming begin ;)
