Gameplay
Just like in previous Guitar Hero titles, players use a guitar peripheral with five fret buttons, pressing colored notes in time with the current song. On easier difficulties, players are only required to tap a few buttons, but on the highest difficulty, advanced guitar skills are basically required. Playing notes in succession without a mistake raises your combo meter, which in turn increases your score. You can also collect “star power” by completing sequences of notes flawlessly, which can be activated to double your combo meter. If you fail to keep up with the notes or miss too many, the crowd will turn on you, failing the song. Luckily, there are four difficulty levels to choose from, each one providing a significant step up in challenge. At the end of each song, you're given a star rating based on your performance.
There are a variety of modes to choose from in Guitar Hero 3, providing plenty of different ways to rock with your friends. In addition to the single-player and cooperative Career modes, players can enjoy fierce, competitive multiplayer matches both locally and online. Besides the standard score-based face-offs, you can challenge opponents in Battle mode, where players earn power-ups that can be used to disrupt the other player. As you play Guitar Hero 3, you'll also earn coins which can be spent in the in-game store, unlocking new songs to play. There are over two dozen extra songs to unlock, giving players plenty of reason to keep coming back for more.
