Guitar Hero 3 demos IN STORES NOW. (Pictures!)
Tino | 6:03 PM on 10.11.2007 14 comments


Okay guys, I posted earlier about how I got a call from my local Game Crazy that they had a guitar hero 3 in store demo complete with guitar and everything. Generally you all yelled at me for pictures. Well, here you go.

Sorry about the quality, it's cell phone stuff.

I found the game to be ridiculously easy compared to previous Guitar Hero games. The button pressing timing was extremely forgiving this time around. Either that or I just got much MUCH better.

There ya go. Enjoy your picture proof.

@Bleh, Oh my god.

I request video and action shots! I am to lazy to venture into the real world to try this for myself.

Also, why don't game stores call me to tell me they have demos?

I played it at DigitalLife. The retail demo has a few less songs.

@falinter: You gotta train them to do that first.

@ TheMartino:

Was it difficult to know when you could hit notes? How quick did the notes move on Expert (aka were the notes faster on Expert in GHIII than GHII)? How was Hurricane? Did you like the Les Paul guitar controller better then the X-plorer, or even the SG?

It is kind of disappointing to hear that the game is easy (or easier) when compared to GHII, but I'll check it out for myself this weekend.

@Variable Gear:

Was it difficult to know when you could hit notes:
Nah, not really. It played identical to Guitar Hero 2, but with a bigger window for hitting the damn note. It had me getting a nearly 100% on The Metal once I got the rhythm down.

How quick did the notes move on Expert:
Not fast enough for me. I prefer to play on Hyper speed. However compared to Guitar Hero 1/2 it moves with the BPM of the song. Another standard law of music games.

How was the Hurricane:
It had a pretty fun solo tucked into there. A really good battle song. (Battle, btw, is really really really fun.)


The Les Paul was good, but not NEARLY as good as the Rock Band guitars. It did however trump the X-plorer and SG by far. Theres 2 places you can put the strap and the button placement made a lot more sense. Definitely a lot heavier but not a lot larger than previous models.

Good to hear about the Guitar.
