I've found GHIII to be pretty addictive. Overall it's a great game with some pretty cool songs (and a few not so good ones - but still fun).
A couple frustrating features that I've noticed:
- The dongle and the controller do not connect easily. I follow the directions in the white insert of the manual and the connection is still hit or miss. On a couple occasions the controller connected at start-up and just as I was about to begin playing a song, I lost the connection. This is pretty frustrating and probably worth discussing with Activision.
- Not necessarily a negative but I've found the skill levels to be quite a bit more challenging than older versions. I conquered the Easy level in GHIII and moved up to Medium. The difference between the two levels seems to be a lot wider gap than I would expect. Probably will just take more practice.
- You cannot buy a controller for purchase w/o the game at this time. I would like to buy one more controller so my wife and I can play together but so far... no luck!
Fun rating is a 5 but these negatives bring the overall rating down to 3.

Your PlayStation 2 guitar will not work with this game, even with an adapter. Your Rock Band guitar will not work with this game. The guitar that comes with this game will not work with the PlayStation 2 or Xbox versions of Guitar Hero I, II, or III. The guitar that comes with this game will not work with any version of Rock Band. Basically, the guitar that comes with this game works only with this game, and this game only works with the guitar that comes with it. This is Activision's way of telling you that they hate you and want you to buy 2 guitar controllers for every single guitar game that you buy.
Aside from that bit of stupidity, the selection of songs included with this game is VASTLY INFERIOR to the ones included with the first two games, even if there are a lot fewer covers. The note charts also seem a lot less well-constructed; many of the songs are simply no fun to play. The new boss battles add nothing but annoyance and frustration -- two of them aren't even proper songs; just random noodling on the guitar by some washed-up has-been. Despite all of this, they didn't manage to completely destroy the game; if you have fun playing Guitar Hero or Guitar Hero II, you'll still have fun playing Guitar Hero III, just not quite as much fun. If you don't own the first two games, get one of those instead.

I bought this game reading all the positive reviews, but this is a waste of $100. Unless you get the notes perfect every time not a little early or late, you fail the song. This is not fun. Very frustrating to say the least. The guitar doesn't even have strings.

My teenage sons are elated with Guitar Hero for PS3. They have been waiting for months for the release and their anticipation was not a disappointment.

Great game. Never gets old. Fun for EVERYONE! And with the PS3 downloads, new music can easily be added.
