GAME REVIEW – Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Wii

We’ve all dreamed up at one stage or another tearing up a stadium of rabid rock fans while playing the guitar with a raging ferocity to Boston’s More Than A Feeling but for many us that dream could never become a reality due to most people hating that song and the other half of us being too lazy to learn the guitar!

Well heaven shined down upon us one day and gave us the fantastic Guitar Hero, which along with its sequel – the shockingly-named Guitar Hero 2 – we were allowed, in front of a drooling audience (the household dog), to shred up the guitar to a whole host of songs, making us feel as every bit awesome as we’re sure we looked.

It’s no surprise then that Guitar Hero III has been released this year, after the huge success of its predecessors. Reviewing the Wii version has been no easy task. The game arguably has the best track-listing to date, it should please those tattoo-ridden, pierced-nosed trolls enough to come out of their bat-lairs and pick up the guitar, but also the game appeals to the average music fan with some all-time classics and some newer more pop-type hits.
