There is perhaps no family of video games on the planet right now that has gained such a massive following as the Guitar Hero franchise, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why. The hands on, intuitive nature of the Guitar controller gives someone who may not have what it takes to be a stellar musician the ability to sound as if they were the next Jimi Hendrix. With each release, fans grow hungry for more, which is why Activision and Neversoft are keeping the ball rolling with their installment of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

Available on all platforms, Legends of Rock adds a fresh and original game experience even for those who own other games within the series. For those that are not familiar with these games the premise is simple to follow. You use a guitar controller and push the buttons that correspond with the colors that are scrolling down your screen.

The game play in Guitar Hero II is almost identical to the others in the series, however it has a new soundtrack, that is possibly the best of the series. Along with the new songs comes a list of some of the greatest rock and roll artists in the industry, such as Slash and Jimi Hendrix. The storyline is minimal, however it is a game about fun and guitar playing and does not require an in depth story line.

They say a music game is only as good as they sound, Legends of Rock has a great sound, that’s even more incredible on a surround sound. This game really cranks out the tunes at the right times, so make sure your windows are shut! As for graphics, there are games that are much better, but again this game is about the music.

If you are in the hunt for a fun, easy to pick up game to share with friends, Legends of Rock is the game for you.
