Summary: Guitar frustration
Comment: This game is really addictive , not easy, but you feel you have to just try again & again & again then when you get a song right you just have to try the next song and so it goes on. Hence the frustration. The songs are good even though I didn't know many off them before I got the game, they grow on you quite quickly. Overall it will keep you busy for quite some time. So well worth the money.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Awesome and addictive
Comment: The game is a lot of fun and awesomely addiciting, tracks are great, graphics are prety good considering its the wii. Online play is killer-very competetive, especially in face off mode and since i hooked it up to the internet ive hardly played any of the career or the game offline.
buy it now, you wont regret!

Summary: Very annoying
Comment: Okay, let me just say I love Guitar Hero III. I love a lot of things about it. I love the series as a whole. But the Wii version seems to be inferior to the others.
You'd think with the Wii's 'revolutionary' motion sensing controller inerted into the guitar, everything you do would happen quicker and as expected? Well no. It doesn't. Sometimes the controller doesn't even register that I'm holding down a note. Now I've tried standing at all distances and angles from the Wii itself, and it makes no difference. I've tried calibrating the lag, but it makes no difference. I find myself getting a low score on a song I can 100% on the Xbox 360 version. Another thing is the Star Power. It just randomly activates itself. I'll be waiting to activate it at a very precise time and then I play normally and it activates itself! Sometimes when I want to activate it, it doesn't do anything at all unless I lift it high above my head and shake it a little bit, by which time I'd have failed the song anyway.
The developers seem to have underestimated the graphical potential of the Wii, as I remember Guitar Hero II on the PS2 looking better than this. Graphics don't really matter, but come on...
Aside from all that, I have little to say that hasn't already been said. Great track list, great battle, and great multiplayer. It's a shame about the controller issues though.

Summary: Fantastic fantastic fantastic!
Comment: Wow, what an experience it is playing Guitar Hero. I am probably not your average gamer, my usual games are Buzz!, Wii Sport, Brain Training an my DS etc (I am a 45 year old female after all...)but have been tempted after seeing people at work playing it (during lunch time!) so took the plunge 3 days ago and have to say have not stopped playing it since. It probably helps that I don't play a real guitar (tried it but too hard) because it's nothing like it and also having a 20 year old son in the house who has already finished the 'Easy' stage and so unlocked many of the songs. The tracks on the game are varied and although I didn't recognise very many, I am enjoying the music in it's own right. It becomes compulsive to try and beat your previous score and so you get to hear the tracks many times-I hope my neighbour likes my efforts!

Summary: Guitar Hero Wii
Comment: What a fantastic game. I cannot say how this compares to any of the other consoles, but the whole family have being playing this game at every opportunity since I bought it for my daughter. The only problem is that my 13 year old consistently beats me! This is just so easy to pick up and go, even for non gamers (myself) and yet has loads of longevity in it. You can always tell a good game when you find yourself thinking of ways to improve your score on the drive home from work!
