Heroic Guitars. Three of them.

March 30, 2008

This game, Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock is not a very enjoyable game. It tries to make it sound like you can be the man to play the guitar, but it doesn’t really let you. You supposedly get to see the legendary people of rock, but even that is lame and not existing. All in all, everything in this game is a lie and you should never give it to anyone ever.

You will see if you buy the game that it has a guitar shaped controller that looks and is held like a guitar. Unfortunately, they want you to be like “I can be the guitar hero”, but you can’t. At all. The guitar doesn’t look at all like a real guitar. A real guitar has a lot of long strings. Six of them. You have to hold different positions of the different strings while playing the six strings with a pick or your fingers if you’re a cool man. Anyway, the Guitar Hero guitar only allows you to have five buttons and a paddle thing which wants to seem like six strings but is not. Even though, then, it looks like a guitar, it’s less like a guitar than if they had just given you six shoelaces. How can they make you want to play a guitar when this is obviously not like a real guitar at all. They can’t.

So let’s say you realize you aren’t doing a guitar playing thing and this game should be really called “Thing that almost looks a bit like a guitar hero 3″ The next part of the title which is wrong is legends of rock. during the game it pretends to have a story, but it really doesn’t, but along the way you see these people called Tom Morello, Slash, and Satan man. Now, Slash is fun, but I don’t really like Guns and the Roses and he was better in Chrono Trigger. Mister Morello Man can’t sing very well and if I asked thirteen people who he was they would say “I don’t know who the Tom man is at all. Stop talking to me.” Then there’s Satan, who plays a fiddle song on not fiddle but on guitar. He tries to sound menacing, but he has a shirt and he looks not like Satan at all. Also, why did they have him here. Did Neversoft men just think “Let’s not make Christians buy this game” and offended them? These aren’t legends at all.

I was going to sue the Never soft men for not having a real title, but I’m not a lawyer man so I could not and decided to play the game instead. That was not a good plan. In the game you try to hold a button which isn’t strings and play the one not string to not play guitar in tune to music. The problem s the music is bad. There are different places and the first two had bad music and the rest had also bad music or songs by people who were already in Guitar Hero the second one. By the end, you’ll have heard only a few good songs and nothing by bands like Led Zeppelin or AC and DC or Paniclads at yonder Discohall. And then the game says that to hear more songs you have to either download them or play the game again and play them again but this time use more buttons.

See, there are five buttons, but you don’t use all five until the difficulty of Hard. For until then, it’s even less like a guitar, and then it’s like they made it be too hard now. You can’t do things in Hard, because the difficulty on a scale of 1 to 100 goes from like 20 on Medium to 642.9 on Hard. You have to have a ton more notes all the time, move your hand up and down a lot, and play Knighys of Cydonia on Hard which nobody can do ever. You can’t get past more than a few parts on those difficulties. Maybe they didn’t want you to play too far or you would realize how bad the game was.

The achievements aren’t even nice since I first beat easy and got only five. You never get a lot for doing anything even for getting a lot of things done on the hardest difficulty man gets you 30 or something like that, so it’s just they want you to do something impossible and get nothing in return. You ultimately still get the thousand, but not for fun things, but for impossible to do things and things you would do anyway. Neversoft doesn’t know how to make good games or achievements. Why did Harmonix men sell this series to them if they can’t even do these things on Tony Hawk games?

Then they also have online, where you do the same thing against other people. Instead of having to hit notes and notes with stars on them, though, you have to use powerups to hurt them. How is that like a guitar battle. If I was guitaring against you and I said “I played that well so you have to play yours left handed now.” he would just say No and then play guitar. It makes no sense and isn’t again like playing guitar. If you want to play other games, you can’t use the guitar for them since it doesn’t have analog sticks, though you can play D-pad games since it has those for a reason? I was playing Castlevaniamania with the guitar but I can’t do Halo 3. Do them both or none, not the one, which is random and makes no sense. You should also be able to play your own music instead of these lame songs, but again you can’t.

When you’re doing the career you have to choose between stupid looking guys or nymphomaniac girls and a singer whose face is a jaw or one with a cowboy hat who looks like a girl. You can play other guitars, but they don’t look like the one in your hand which isn’t a guitar which really makes it seem like you should be playing one but aren’t. The places your lame people play the guitar in aren’t fun and are just a bunch of lights so people with epilepilepsy can’t play it. Why? They can play the guitar, as can you. Why not buy a guitar and not this game, which is bad?

There’s really nothing that good about this game. The title is a lie, it’s not like what it tries to be like, the songs aren’t good, it’s too hard, the characters are horrible, there’s no replay value, multiplayer is repetitive and not fun, and the game is too expensive. With the guitar it’s 90 American dollars in America, and even more in Canada because their dollar is worth more than ours, which is unfortunate. You should really go out and buy a real guitar, a different game, or a dictionary, because the meaning of loquacious is more interesting than trying to play Fire and Flames by Forceful Dragons and failing because you can’t because the game is too hard. Don’t play this game.
