Suffice to say they are pitiful and actually worse in some cases than those found in GH2, but obviously the visuals aren’t what you look at when you play, so it’s a moot point.
What is different are the graphics, which have more of the Neversoft feel.
Similar menu system, same controls, same gameplay. In almost every way, GH3 does exactly what GH2 did. In almost every way, GH3 is either the same or improved upon the previous games. Publishers Activision and RedOctane retained most of the rights to the Guitar Hero franchise, meaning little has changed in terms of gameplay and format. Lars is by far the greatest rocker in the lineup, unless you like Death or Zeus moreįor those wondering whether to get GH3 because of the changed development team, put those fears aside. Judy Nails and a few of the backgrounds look good. But unlike the previous two (or three if you don’t count “Rocks the 80’s”), Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock was developed by Neversoft (maker of the Tony Hawk series), not Harmonix, the musically inclined team. Guitar Hero is the closest thing to both, and as the roadie’s show, it’s fun and worth the practice. Since the birth of air guitar players, people have dreamed of playing the guitar and doing amazing things on it without the lifetime of practice.
