Had enough rock?

Well, whether you have or not be ready, as Guitar Hero 3 is coming to town!

Guitar Hero 3 comes this fall, so expect to be "rocked away" with extreme insensity as red octane along with activision return for an explosive third in their highly impressive trilogy of musical genius.
A full list of  content has not yet been confirmed, but from looking at the current songs confirmed we can expect something special indeed, songs such:

Paint It Black (by The Rolling Stones)
Cherub Rock (by Smashing Pumpkins)
Sabotage (by Beastie Boys)
The Metal (by Tenacious D)
My Name is Jonas (by Weezer)
Knights of Cydonia (by Muse)
Rock And Roll All Nite (as made famous by Kiss)
School’s Out (as made famous by Alice Cooper)
Slow Ride (as made famous by Fog Hat)
Cult of Personality (by Living Colour)
Barracuda (as made famous by Heart)


Wow, I'm drooling all ready!


A tonne of new features have also been added to get your big fat rocking teeth into, such as:

Wireless controllers/guitars!
Battle mode
Boss battles
Authentic rock venues
Online multiplayer
And even more exclusive content!

I am anticipating possibly the biggest musical game in history as GH III looks set to rock your socks off, or until you become so addicted to it that you lose all your friends, your woman, and perhaps even your life...meh, it'l be worth it.


Dissapointed with lack of online multipayer in its previous title left many fans begging and pleading for their chance to play amongst the best of the world in its third....well, they have it at last!

It hasn't been confirmed how many multiplayer modes will be available, but the modes offered at this moment in time is plenty enough for me, such as....battle mode!

Battle mode, does what it says on the tin..well not the tin...you get what I mean. This mode enables you to
battle it out against your friends or foes in a grueling test of musical awsomeness with a beat this b***h attitude and style to the game mode.

The idea is to match whatever or opposition throws at you, or if they mess up then try to beat them...
The following text has been quoted from IGN.com:

Broken String: When an opponent breaks one of your strings, that button on the guitar controller won't work until you fix it. To do so you'll have to rapidly tap that "string" until it is repaired.

Difficulty Up: This one won't appear if both players have the difficulty set to expert. If you're playing on hard or lower and this gets sent your way, then you'll find yourself playing up a difficulty level for a brief period of time.

Amp Overload: This attack causes the scrolling fret board on screen to shake and blur, making it extremely difficult to read which notes are approaching.

Whammy Bar: If you get attacked with this bad boy, you'll have to get your whammy bar moving and fast before you can play notes again.

Steal Power: This one is self-explanatory. Use it to steal an attack from your opponent before they can use it. If they don't have one to steal and you activate this power, you'll lose it.

Double Notes: Make your opponent double up on how many notes they have to play for a short period of time: Devastating in the midst of a crazy solo.

Lefty Flip: The attack to end all attacks. Putting lefty flip on your opponent forces them to either transcribe the music or actually flip their guitar over and play left handed. Used at the right moment, it can not be stopped.

To read the full article, then follow this link to IGN.com, it definently is worth a read with some interesting information regarding battle mode.

With all this and much more to offer, gamers of the musical genre have a very interesting few months to wait.

I'm biting my nails already!
