First Thoughts: Guitar Hero 3 for Nintendo Wii

After a fun-filled night of trick or treating last night, our group of trick or treaters went back to one of their houses. The best part? I got to play a couple songs on Guitar Hero 3, the Wii version.

The Most notable difference between 2 and 3 that I saw was the graphics. The graphics for the Wii version are very reminiscent of Guitar Hero 2 on Xbox 360. Another difference I saw, that I think is only for the Wii version, was that to hit the note, you had to play it like a quarter of a second before you are supposed to. But as I said, that is most likely only for the Wii version. A very cool thing I saw was that Guitar Hero 3 for Wii utilizes the Wii Remote's speakers. Whenever you miss a note, you hear the missing noise from the Wii Remote in your Guitar.

Now, about the songs I played. The two that I chose were When You Were Young and of course, Knights of Cydonia, both on medium and then KoC again on easy. When You Were Young wasn't that difficult. Of course I did get a pretty bad score on it, due to not playing Guitar Hero in a while. Then came Knights of Cydonia. It was pretty hard for a Medium song. The song throws a lot of notes at you, one by another. There are also a lot of frets. Sadly, I only got through 61% of the song, but there's always next time, when I play Guitar Hero 3 on my PS2. On the other hand, I got through the Easy version, which was much easier. Now I have at least one goal for GH3 on PS2: Beat Knights of Cydonia on Medium, and possibly try it on Hard.

Well, I hope this short review was helpful! I absolutely loved playing Guitar Hero 3, and I hope you do too!!!! Expect a full review of the PS2 version in the next week or so =).
