Guitar Hero 3 so far… meh.
Man, I just breezed through the first four tiers in GH3 on expert and all I can say “It’s teh suck - so far.” (yes, I meant to spell “the” that way).
Wow. Just wow. What a bunch of underwhelming, no-name, blah, mundane bunch of songs. I think I 5 stared Paranoid on the first try - I know I at least got two achievements (250 note streak, 250k+ score). I’d say 90% of the songs are power-chords and simple strumming. No cool guitar licks or grooves. That Sonic Youth song and Story of My Life; what the heck are those?! Wow, they blow.
I remember reluctantly selecting the next song in the list knowing that it’s the only way I can move forward. I don’t know what Activision, Neversoft and Red Octane were thinking when these songs were selected. There’s absolutely nothing exciting about them nor is there much of a challenge.
That being said, I’ll plod through, but there better be a more than a handful of fun songs to play otherwise the replay value, for me, will be slim. Even with multi-player - if the songs suck… that wouldn’t even be fun.
Man, I was really looking forward to this. But it’s no fun when you just want the song to end.
Let’s just say I’m seriously looking at picking up Rock Band.
