In a list of the best Wii games, how possibly could anyone forget the ever-famous gitar hero series, with their new release, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Anyone who has ever played this game will tell you that there is no end to the fun you can have with this. There are endless upgrades you can achieve, including new songs, (which kick-ass by the way) new gitars to buy, new people you can be on the stage, and even down to the details like what your rock star wears, and the types of jeans he has on. amazing. Another great aspect of this game is the controls. Whoever came up with the idea for this deserves a raise.

The gitar (which you purchase along with the game) is perfectly esigned with the right sized bottons, that it all just seems to be second nature after a few seconds of playing this. Gitar Hero has the perfect combination between easy and ard. For you beginners who get pissed of when you can’t beat even the second level, there is a easy mod, which truly means “easy”. So even the worst of all players can have our thrill out of this. Usually, right about now would be the point in which I would be addressing flaus, but truly - I can find any. Except for a few glitches in the game, and the huge price, theres nothing else bad to say about this game. So in some respect, you could call it perfect. So go out to the mall, get your self the game, then a gitar, (or 2 for a rock-out session with your friend) Get home, plug it up, and ROCK OUT! Read the rest of this entry »
