Rocking The PS2 Night Away(Review From Amazon) | General Comments:
When it comes to the game systems from the last generation, the Playstation 2 has really delivered to hard core gamers young and old alike. Surprisingly, though one of the best video game franchises might have seen its final light for the PS2. With the success of Guitar Hero, many gamers have been able to really rock out loud into the night and the heart of the day. But, the last rendidition, Guitar Hero Encore: Rock's the 80's, it really didn't do the job at enticing die hard fans of the game series. Still, many gamers have been eagerly awaiting the so-called 3rd installment for the Playstation 2 and the final version for this great system of Guitar Hero. Now it is here, and here it will rock you.
Guitar Hero III for the Playstation 2 is the latest game in the successful music game franchise. The gameplay brings in some new tricks from boss battles, and some new great tracks that make you wanna rock out like the Beastie Boys rap classic Sabatoge, Heart's standard classic Barracuda, and the classic Kiss party anthem Rock N' Roll All Night. The graphics are really great and the gameplay still remains as addictive to where Guitar Hero II really did leave off. The game is fun and addictive to new gamers, and die hard fans alike. Still, there are a few disadvantages to the game. One them is that I wish there could've been more boss battles than just 3. Although it is a great addition, it just could've had more. There are a few add-ons though that make up for it, including online gaming, where you now battle against your foes through the PS2 online, and new venues to rock out loud too.
All in all, Guitar Hero III is a great game for new gamers for the Playstation 2. Sadly, with the end of the PS2 era, this might be the last time gamers will be able to rock on this great system, and have to get the PS3 for the next rendition of Guitar Hero IV. I still think it is a great game though, but gamers could've had more to rock with.

Not real happy with it(Review From Amazon) | General Comments:
I've been a GH player since the first one came out and this one is not as much fun as the others. Mainly I don't like the choice of songs. The interface has changed, but that didn't bother me as I was able to breeze right through all the songs on Hard my first time out. (I'm pretty much an Expert class GH player) So playability wasn't an issue, in fact this one felt easier than the previous 3 GH releases but that could be due to the fact that I've been playing for a couple years now. What really turned me off were the songs. They weren't necessarily bad songs, for example if I heard them on the radio I wouldn't change the channel in disgust. They just didn't translate well to this game, they lacked energy. I really liked KISS, Poison, The Killers, Black Sabbath and Heir Kommt Alex as they are all fun groups to listen and play along to. As well as the song Cliffs Of Dover, so much fun to play. But the others just left me feeling bored and uninterested. I'm a GH fan for life and this of course is just my opinion, mostly about the selection of songs, not the actual game play itself as it was good if not improved.. However I don't like the new look power meter, too hard to tell what's going on at a glance with that, so they should go back to the original version. The new cartoons and characters... I could care less, I buy GH games in order to pretend that I'm jamming to songs in a rock group. They could have no cartoons and only one stick figure looking graphic up there for all I care and I'd still think this game rocked. Looking forward to the next release and hopefully some songs that I will find interesting and fun to play.
