Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock coming this winter for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and PS2, game showcased in videos
No doubt one of the biggest games this holiday (like the last two) will be Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, which is this time coming to us from developer Neversoft (Yup the Tony Hawk guys) as the previous developer Harmonix focuses on their new game Rock Band.
But no need to worry, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is looking to light up the stage just as hard as the previous versions. New in this third entry are an updated interface, all-new power-ups, an online multiplayer mode, more realistic looking characters and better graphics and effects and wireless guitars included in the box. The characters on stage will even lip-synch to the songs due to facial motion capture!
Power-Ups (or “modifiers” as they’re calling them) include:
* Doubling the amount of notes your opponent has to play
* Rattling their screen
* Overloading their amp
* Requiring them to play lefty
* Changing their difficulty level
* Breaking their string (fixed by rapidly jamming the fret button)
Up to three of these temporary modifiers can be piled on top of one another at a time, which will greatly extend how long they last.
Also included will be a few rock “legends” as the name implies, who you can battle against, including Slash (the former guitarist of Guns N’ Roses and current member of Velvet Revolver).
See the game in action below with the trailer, a video that includes gameplay of the online multiplayer as well as a video of the Slash battle and a developer interview talking about the tracklist, the big deals they got on the game, the master copies they attained, and more.
