One of the most popular video game franchises of recent years has come from Activision, RedOctane, and Neversoft. The name of the game is Guitar Hero, and it has swept the nation with its blistering play, new controller methods, and plain old fun. The newest installment in this popular franchise is called Guitar Hero Three: Legends of Rock, and it is available on all of the usual platforms. What might set this installment apart, however, is the fact that there is now a Guitar Hero Three for Wii. The Wii has already been revolutionary is changing the way people play video games, so it should come as no surprise that these two entities would mesh well together. Here is a look at the newest blockbuster video game: Guitar Hero Three for Wii.
Guitar Hero Three for Wii has outdone its predecessors in almost every way you could think of. There are over sixty songs available on the game, with some of them being bonus songs you can win by making it through the various levels of gameplay. For the most part, the events and gameplay has remained the same as what was seen in previous installments, with a few minor tweaks. Of course, this difference is more apparent in Guitar Hero Three for Wii, as there is a different controller system involved and the Wii has gone out of its way to make game play more challenging and fun in all of their games.
The game includes appearances by such rock legends as Slash, Bret Michaels, and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine. The Wii version takes full advantage of the Wii’s remote capabilities, and also puts the rumble feature to use in the game play. While some people were disappointed the gamer makers didn’t customize it even more to fit the Wii, there was little customization necessary, considering the perfection of the guitar controller. Still, there is enough different game play modes here to make a purchase of Guitar Hero Three for Wii a wise and dun investment for the amateur rocker in your house.
Sales of Guitar Hero Three for Wii have been record breaking in just a few months of availability. This indicates a likely fourth installment, which, if sources are correct, may feature further customization for players of the Wii version. What this might consist of is anyone’s guess. With competitive games such as “Rock Band” coming out, Guitar Hero will have to ratchet up the stakes in order to remain the kings of the hill. Of course, with their record of intensely satisfying gameplay and a willingness to listen to their fanbase, few speculators would bet against Activision and their rock and roll franchise.
