Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I'm a novice, but I think this is fun!
This is my first Guitar Hero purchase for a brand new PS3 system. I have never owned another console, only playing video games on the PC. So, I have nothing to compare this version to. Having said that, I think this is loads of fun. I've had some issues with the green button working correctly all the time. A friend who has played GH for a long time on PS2 with multiple versions tried my game and suggested I have a bad connection between the neck and the body of the guitar. So far, this problem has not caused me to stop playing or smash the guitar out of frustration. It is just a bit annoying.
I don't know what the song lists are like for the other versions, and I'll be the first to admit that I am very un-hip when it comes to popular music, but I was a little disappointed in the song selection. I was hoping for more songs that I recognized (which in my opinion are easier to play).
On a side note, I also purchased the 80's version of the game for the PS2 (since it is currently unavailable for the PS3). My PS3 is is backwards compatible and I was told at the store that it would work. However, this guitar will not play the game. That was very disappointing!!!
The bottom line for me is that if you are looking for a distration from your life, this is some good entertainment for about an hour a day. After that, my hands start to cramp. (I may be developing carpal tunnel syndrome.) I'm looking forward to more versions for the PS3.

For all of you who played guitar with a tennis raquet in front of the TV watching rock music videos on Mtv in the 80's, like i did, this game is for you.

I finally decided to buy this game after buying rock band only for the guitar. I feel the guitar is a lot better than the one from rock band and the beats are easier to read. I don't like the fact you can't buy the songs in-game like rock band though, which is really not that big a deal.

We love this game! The guitar is very sleek . We have so much fun



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - who chose the songs?
First I'd like to say that ps3 and xbox, do not know how to make it compatible with HD T.V.s, which most T.V.s are these days. I cannot play guitar 3 anymore on my HD tv now. You can callabrate and callabrate over and over and it seems that there is always a lag. It was extremely frustrating to be playing and then have to callabrate it play and callabrate it again.
Now if you're playing on a regular tv this will not be a problem, but then the song selection isnt great. For me, once all the songs are unlocked i find myself playing the same few songs over and over because i don't really care to play the others. "My name is Jonas" by weezer, "Even Flow" by Pearl Jam, and to name a few more, "Cliffs of Dover" and "Suck my Kiss" are awesome to play. But I think there are a few things that should be changed. For example you can't play multiplayer on different levels and play the whole song with out battling. To me that sucks.

It also is a little damper that in order to unlock a few songs you have to play a co-op career, i would like to be able to unlock all the songs on my own career. The graphics aren't amazing, but thats not really why one would by this game.

All and all it is fun to play the songs you like, and to feel apart of the music. guitar hero has kinks to work out for sure, but if you're a big fan of the other guitar heros then you will love this. A better song selection would have been nice, good bands but not good songs from the bands i think was the issue for me.
