Guitar Hero III

[KitFisto]

Why isn't the PS3 Guitar Controller compatible with GHII?

Because they want you to have to buy GHIII

Yeah but I have GHIII and the PS3 controller. I want to play GHII on the PS3 as well using the GH3 controller.

How would you play GHII then or can you not at all? I thought you couldn't use any PS2 controllers on PS3.

Since the PS3 is backwards compatible, I was hoping I could play the PS2 version of GHII on my PS3 but using the GHIII PS3 guitar.

There's supposed to be a patch coming out for it soon Fritz.

I just bought GH III for PS3 today, and am playing Medium right now. Almost done...

The jump from medium to hard is ridiculous....

I like Rock Band better (more to do). But, I am having a blast with GH III right now also....

Rock band looks great but its not a great game for single players.

Yea, I usually play guitar and my wife plays drums. Last week we had a Rock Band party and had some family and friends over and we took turns singing, guitar, and drums together. I need one more guitar to use for bass. So, 4 of us can play at once, rather then just 3.

I love singing Radiohead "Creep" and Bon Jovi "Wanted Dead or Alive".

I have both Guitar Hero and Rock Band for the 360, so I have two guitars but I still can't convince my wife to play along with me. She tried once and couldn't get the hang of it.

i dont think it's a very good idea to buy rock band if youre going to be the only one playing. sure you can experience the various instruments, but the real fun is when you have a full band. Although i do love that you can customize your character with clothing and tats. thats pretty damn sick.

Have to agree, I am part of a Rock Band "band" and the one of us who owns it is always trying to get the band together to play. We just earned the Aerosmith Jet so we can travel the world. The game is great, but it is more of a party game.
Has anyone else found that the Guitar Hero guitar is a little more responsive than the Rock Band guitar, even if you are playing Rock Band?

 

[Agent23]

So, the GH III guitar WILL work w/Rock Band?

I thought I read it doesn't. I am gonna go try it now...

Depends on the system

Thanks mfoga. Yea, I tried my GH III guitar on Rock band, and it wouldn't work.

I don't like the RB guitar and always play both games with the Guitar Hero version. The strum bar has a much better feel to it.

 

[gabberjawa]

I can sing Paranoid over and over, although I doubt anyone wants to hear me do that

I HAVE to see that

I finally beat Slash on medium. It took me about 10 tries...

I can't imagine how hard he is gonna be on hard.

The games we did it on were both for X-Box 360. Synced up perfectly, but like it has been said it all depends on the system.

 

[Agent23]

Beat the game on Medium. Slash was harder for me to beat then Lou at the end....

Now to start working on hard....

 

[Fritz]

I managed to beat Slash on hard a couple weeks ago and the songs seemed to get even harder after that. Many more triple note combinations. I haven't playing in a while though. I really need to finish Super Mario Galaxy so I can get back the GHIII and Gears, not to mention UTIII.
