Boy-Creature went and grabbed our reserved copy of Guitar Hero III tonight at the midnight launch. I rocked out on it right when he came home. It’s pretty cool. We got the wii version, because our wii has gotten lonely since halo 3 came out. I think it might be plotting revenge on our 360.
Though I sort of wish we had gotten the 360 version, There are some cool things about the wii version. When you get your star power full the guitar vibrates, and then when you activate your star power it pulses to the tempo of the song. The wrong notes now come out of the controller instead of the television. This is of course all because of the wii-mote though, so that will not be a feature you get with the 360 version. Though I’m not sure if trading achievements for those features is a very fair trade.
So here’s the unboxing video:
And here is the opening scene:
Overall, It’s a good game. It seems harder than guitar hero II, notes seem to scroll faster. Those are just initial impressions though.
