Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock

Music has become an important part of our lives, radio stations are etched into our memory choices on our presets for the car radio, certain songs hold more meaning than others, and everybody wants to be a rock n roll star. This is why we play drums in the air and guitar on our steering wheel. We sing in the shower and when a tune gets stuck in our head, we’d love nothing better than to grab a guitar and rip out the feeling. But what happens if you don’t have a guitar or don’t know how to play one. Don’t get discouraged, one of the best Wii games from Nintendo has arrived in the form of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Even if you don’t fancy the axe, it’s still fun to try to see just how good you’ll do with a backing band. Today’s game technology allows everybody to at least attempt to find out what it’s like to hold a rock guitar in their hands.

Are You Ready To ROCK?

If you didn’t take piano lessons as a kid because you wanted to avoid being called names on the playground or if you elected to not take the elective of choir because the same fate would be bestowed on you, then you’re not alone. Most kids didn’t get the chance to turn down guitar lessons in grade school because they were never offered. The great thing about Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is that you don’t need to know how to play guitar to really have a blast playing the game. You just need a urge to want to play and a hunger to find out what all the fuss is about. As soon as you see the song list, you’ll be transported back to the days of air guitar and a confidence will build in you that says you can have your shot now.

Many people shy away from music games because they think you have to be some kind of expert to play them – well that’s not the case here. Wii allows you to start on whatever level that you feel comfortable with. Once you get better, you can move that level up and up. It’s your choice where you want to go, the Wii is just your instrument. The game is very simple to play; instead of the nunchuck and wiimote, you have a device that looks like a guitar. Next, you have colored buttons on your guitar and a pull down lever. This feature allows you to strum while hitting the notes according to the colors on the screen. It takes a few times for your brain to figure out what you need to do, and after that, it’s your sheer joy of playing that will have you hooked.

You Wanted The Best - You Got The Best!

Kids love it because it gives them a sense of being a guitar player; it’s a smaller sized instrument than a regular guitar, plus it’s much lighter while still having the shape of a rock guitar. Wii designs their products for kids and adults too so parents will be able to play with the same intensity that they see their kids using. Some of the songs listed might not be recognized by the younger generation but that really doesn’t matter. Wii has chosen songs that are fun to play and practically beg for parents to try their hand at. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is really a multi-generational game.
