Every minute of Guitar Hero III has been an exciting experience.

Aside from the “who the hell thought this was a good idea” boss battles, Guitar Hero III is a must-buy for vets and newbies alike.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is undoubtedly the best game in the series. The amazing soundtrack, superb wireless guitar, subtle tweaks, and excellent online multiplayer are exactly what fans have been wanting from the series

Everything just screams high production values, which is pretty awesome. The song list is also impressive and features a good mix of the old and the new.

Overall while the game hasn’t moved forward much in the graphical sense, Neversoft has done a good job with keeping the integrity of the Guitar Hero series in tact.

Better songs, better guitar, online play and co-op make this game a blast to play—a definite purchase for anyone who's dreamed of rocking out on stage.
91
Multiplayer modes and online support already take the game to another level, and coupled with a revitalised track-list, lovely visuals, a great new controller and and an attention to detail and polish previously unknown to the genre, what we have here is the return of a true hero.

GH III is drop-dead knock-down dragout gorgeous to behold. I’m still doing double takes to make sure the venues are polygonal, and the player models have reached a high that will make you smash your old GH II axe Pete Townsend-style. [Nov 2007, p.72]

A great addition to the series, Guitar Hero III offers some great new tracks for hardcore fans, while the more responsive controls are great for newcomers.
