Item Description

Somewhere around the third time "Through the Fire and Flames" chews you up and spits you out, you understand what Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is all about. Neversoft took over the series from Harmonix with this entry and turned the difficulty, the spectacle and the star power all the way up, and the result became a pop-culture phenomenon. Activision later announced it as the first retail video game to pass a billion dollars in sales.

The setlist is enormous, with more than seventy songs counting the bonus tracks, and most of them are master recordings rather than covers. Foghat's "Slow Ride" is an easy groove to warm up on, and the career builds through Heart's "Barracuda," the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage," KISS's "Rock and Roll All Nite" and Living Colour's "Cult of Personality," which the band re-recorded for the game. By the late tiers you are wrestling with metal and shred so fast the note chart seems to be trying to escape the screen, and DragonForce's notorious "Through the Fire and Flames" waits as the ultimate test of nerve and fingers.

The big new idea was the boss battle. Instead of simply playing a song, you go head to head against Tom Morello and Slash, both motion-captured from the real guitarists and both playing original battle music they wrote for the game, before a final showdown with Lou the Devil to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Battles swap star power for attacks you fire at your opponent, from broken strings that must be hammered free to doubled notes and lefty flips, and the same chaos powers the head-to-head Battle mode with a friend. Beat Slash or Morello and the guitarist joins your roster of playable rockers.

On the PlayStation 2 the game is built around the guitar controller, with battles and co-op play made for the couch, which is exactly where Guitar Hero always belonged. It captures the series at the peak of its popularity, when plastic guitars turned up at every party, and its setlist still reads like a greatest-hits record of classic rock and metal.
