14 DAY TRIAL // Even though the world has plenty of music games to go around, mostly from Activision and RedOctane, a third Guitar Hero wouldn't hurt, now would it? Precisely. Thus, the publisher has decided to be generous in terms of disclosing some of the game's features and while this isn't all the game will provide, it still sounds like it'll rock!
Guitar Hero 3 is the fourth music game soon to be released under Activision Label for the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, this time developed by Neversoft, as RedOctane has moved the franchise over to them.
"The development team at Neversoft has been exceptional, and we've been able to incorporate a host of fresh new online and multi-player game play modes, along with exciting content into this version of Guitar Hero that our fans have been asking for. Also, many of the top bands and songs we've tried to get in the past are now on board, and we've definitely got some giant aces in the hole to say the least," said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane. "In addition, offering a new line of Gibson wireless guitars for each platform is going to truly add to the authentic rock star experience like no other."
In GH 3, fans will be experiencing an incredible number of newly added features and explosive content including a new multiplayer action-inspired battle mode, grueling boss battles, a bevy of exclusive unlockable content and authentic rock venues. Expanded online multiplayer game modes will allow axe-shredders worldwide to compete head-to-head for true legendary rock status, while fresh downloadable content will be offered for multiple platforms.
Here's the initial list of tracks included in Guitar hero 3:
￭ 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)
