My Adventure with Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock

I had originally bought my husband an Xbox 360 for a Christmas present. It came with Guitar Hero 3 and a guitar for it. I had watched my husband play Guitar Hero before on his playstation 2. I thought it looked like fun and so I told him I wanted to try the game. I am not really into games, except for Scrabble and Monopoly so Guitar Hero was a definite change!

I started to play the game and I was actually pretty good at it! The game has awesome graphics and sound that you could be lost in for hours. The animation of the game is outstanding and the simulated people really do look like rock stars. The game can be played in many modes; single player or multi player, challenge, career, quick play and you can even play online with the Xbox 360. The game is great for learning eye-hand coordination (even if that is just an excuse to relax and play a little!) and is great to get out your frustration from a hard day at work!

Guitar Hero 3 includes over 70 rock tracks including; Welcome to the Jungle, Rock You Like A Hurricane and Slow Ride. You can play in easy, medium, hard and super hard modes. The first is only three keys so you can get used to playing the guitar and reading the music. The second adds another key and the tempo increases a little bit to the songs. The last two take some practice to be able to get through a song! They include four and then five keys and the tempo increases until it is as fast or faster than the actual songs.

The game includes many different characters that the player can be, men and women. You can go into a shop and with the winnings from career mode you can buy different guitars, outfits and styles. You can buy extra songs and even rock videos to rock out to! This is the ultimate in role playing gaming; the animation, the sound effects, the soundtrack and the many different possibilities! Trust me; the game will wear you out. I fell asleep after playing the game with the guitar still attached to me! I was one great rocker though!
