Guitar Hero III demo details emerge, two ways to get in on the action photo

Activision has announced today that anyone who buys the Xbox 360 version of Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground (available October 9th) will be able to play a demo for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

The songs included in the demo are:

• Lay Down (by Priestess)
• Even Flow (by Pearl Jam)
• The Metal (by Tenacious D)
• Hit Me with your Best Shot (as made famous by Pat Benatar)
• Rock You like a Hurricane (as made famous by Scorpions)

Those of you who don’t want to buy THPG but are excited to try Guitar Hero III don’t have to worry too much, as the same demo will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace two weeks later. That’s almost a full week (if you don’t get THPG) of rocking out with your c*ck out before the finished game hits stores.

Not planning on picking up THPG, so hearing the demo will come to Live shortly afterwards is most excellent news.

You know what this means?

Another hilarious word macro on the forums!

GHIII, Guitar Hero 3, and Guitar Hero III will now become Tony Hawk!

Isn't that hilarious?

I am peturbed. I will be in Le Japon when the demo hits XBL, so I will not only be able to not play it, I won't be able to buy it when it comes out. I have to wait. WHY GOD!? WHY?!?!!?!! Why did I have to go on Vacation at the same time as so many cool games coming out?!

Sounds like a great move and a huge blunder at the same time. On the one hand, sales of Tony Hawk have been in steady decline for a few years now, so packing a GH3 demo in with it should help boost sales. On the other hand, if Activision's goal was to sell more gopies of Tony Hawk, why even announce that the GH3 demo will be available through other means? Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Just because you posted it first doesn't mean he got it from you. The editors give credit to the person who showed it to them.

I tought i had to buy THPG and I was sad. Then I read on and I was happy. Since we poor Europeans have been forced to wait until nxt year for Rock Band. I'll probably get GH3.

I might buy the disc-only version of this or request it for my b-day. At least the demo has two good songs. Does the demo have all of the difficulty levels?

You'd think so, Bfeld. I could've sworn the in-store GH2 demo had multiple difficulties, but it's hard to remember; I'm not one of those dudes that hangs around and shows off to other shoppers.

This is kind of exciting. I like Tony Hawk games, and I like Guitar Hero. I'll just add THPG to my Gamefly queu.

Round me up a couple hundred desperate sweat-shop workers and I'll have you one in no-time *WINK*

Otherwise, Dtoid headbands are not mass produced. Maybe we'll make an exception for a contest in the future ^_^

It’s unfortunate that it’s effectively impossible for them to put out a demo on the PS Store, because there hasn’t been a Guitar Hero game on the PS3 and the PS2 controller doesn’t work correctly with a USB adapter. Grr...

BTW, you do know that the two in the photo are people from EA, and they're playing Rock Band...right?

I pre-ordered Tony Hawk's Proving Ground for the 360 one day before this announcement.

I love the Tony Hawk's series, but have never played Guitar Hero. It'll be nice to see what the fuss is about... even though I can only play with my 360 controller.
