Wow.
Seriously. WOW.
I was lucky enough to have James go at midnight last night and get me a copy of the newest, and possibly most awesome, game, Guitar Hero III. I am glad that I pre-ordered it, because he got to go right to the front of the line, as they checked out the pre-orders first (score!).
I really didn’t think that they could make the game THAT much better and that much more fun, but they totally did. Also, the inclusion of some of my favorite songs has just got me so jumpy. The graphics, interface, and pretty much EVERYTHING has been given the biggest shot of adrenaline; making this game tower over the other three.
I love the controller, as it is so much better and more sensitive than the PS2 ones. It is great that the sound of a missed note comes out of the wii mote, because it is much less distracting than it was when it blasted out of the surround sound before; it is also cool that this feature is unique to the wii (hee hee hee).
I have as yet to have experienced the two player mode or even the online (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) play, but I am sure that I will get my chance for at least the former this afternoon when John comes by for some thrashing.
A serious thumbs up and major high five to anyone and everyone that had anything to do with both this game as well as the entire franchise. I just got Guitar Hero III and I already can’t wait for GHIV. This shit is addictive; and awesome. Now… I gotta go play. Get your copy today!!
UPDATE: I am going to definitively say, that it was worth the entire $90 to play Cherub Rock by the Smashing Pumpkins (actual track!!!), and My Name is Jonas by Weezer (again, actual track!!!), and beat them both with 5 stars on the first try on Medium. Today is a good day.
i love how james had to go fetch it for you
Lori, I’d have it no other way. Besides… he has some “debt” to work off; and you know what I mean!
game delivery!
I haven’t decided about this game yet. Since I’m a dedicated Nintendo boy, I haven’t had an opportunity to play the previous ones. Plus, I am just waiting patiently for Mario Galaxy.
We shall see. Thanks for the recommendation
Nick, this game is awesome. It blows the others away; and, it has features unique to Wii… which should titillate your Nintendo fanboy bits!
Oh it’s a lot of fun, but when your significant other beats you down, it ain’t so fun
Oop!
Duane, I had a similar game windfall myself. My wife just happened to bring GH III home with her from work yesterday! I didn’t ask her to do it; I didn’t know she was going to do it; she just surprised me by walking through the door with the big ass box! I agree that the game is totally awesome, and having your significant other bring it home for you makes it that much better.
Ah yes, but I am playing in high definition. 720p, 1080i, 1080p, GHIII can do them all. If you have an HD game console, that is…
All kidding aside, the missed note sound coming from the guitar itself is pretty damn cool. I’m a little jealous, but the HD makes up for it.
Garrett, your wife is officially in the running for coolest wife ever. And as for graphics… I am not a big person for that stuff; remember, I was raised on 8 bits!!!
You have a man that not only tolerates your video game habit, but actively participates AND goes to the store to buy games for you. That fellow is a keeper and a half!
Jealous and bitter,
Jay
