Informatie |
Guitar Hero 3 is een zogenoemde 'music video game' en inmiddels het derde deel van de roemruchte Guitar Hero serie, en in totaal het 4e deel van de stal van Activision. De PS2, PS3, XBox 360 en Wii versie werden alle 4 gemaakt door Neversoft, en de PC / Mac versie zal door Aspyr Media worden verzorgd. Guitar Hero maakt gebruik van een speciale als gitaar uitziende controller. De speler gebruikt deze voor noten aan te slaan die voorbij scrollen op het scherm. Guitar Hero 3 is los verkrijgbaar maar tevens verkrijgbaar met de nieuwe wireless controllers. Hier de officiële site van Guitar Hero! |
Spel Modi: |
Career Mode As with previous Guitar Hero games, a player can progress through 8 tiers, with 42 songs total, through Career Mode. There are four difficulty levels, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert. The player is required to complete a number of songs in each tier, the number depending on the difficulty level, and then is offered an encore performance with one additional song. After a tier is complete, a new tier is introduced. New in Guitar Hero III are career mode boss battles; at three points during the career mode, the player is required to compete against boss characters Tom Morello, Slash, and Lou the Devil, in order to progress; however, after three attempts, the player is given the option to skip the battle if they so choose. Each successfully completed song earns in-game money that the player can use at the game's store to unlock new characters, outfits, guitars and finishes, additional songs, and videos, and unlocks that song for quick play and other game modes regardless of difficulty. Storyline Additionally, this is the first Guitar Hero to feature somewhat of a storyline for the player's band, portrayed through animatic cartoon scenes in between venues. The band starts out as a neighborhood sensation, before hooking up with a record producer named Lou at one of their later shows. After a successful music video hits the web, the band goes to England, and then perform at an island jail (despite Lou encouraging them to 'sell out'). After a botched performance at Japan (thanks to Lou) they attempt to break free of their contract with Lou, who then reveals himself to be the Devil and the contract as ownership of their souls. The band is dragged down to Lou's "Inferno", where the final showdown comes and the player must defeat Lou, earning back their souls, and the title of "Guitar Legend". The Co-op career story goes in a somewhat different way, with only the vocalist and drummer looking for a guitarist and a bassist. After their first performance, the drummer has the idea of making a video to make a name for them. The video skyrockets the band's popularity, earning them a gig in Japan, but differences between the core members put the band on a three-month hiatus. In the band's comeback performance, the pyrotechnics end up starting a fire in the neighborhood and the members are sent to jail, from where Lou bails them as long as they perform for the inmates. As soon as the band leaves prison, though, they are pulled into Lou's "Inferno", from where they must find their way out by playing a live show. Co-op Career Mode Two players using the same console can participate in Co-op Career Mode, which is arranged similarly to the single player Career mode, with one player on lead guitar and the other on bass or rhythm guitar. There are only 6 tiers of songs, with each encore song being unique to the co-op mode. There are no boss battles in this mode. Co-op Career mode cannot be performed through networked players. Battle Mode Guitar Hero III introduces Battle Mode, a competitive mode between two players either locally or over network play.[23] The mode puts a twist on the Pro Face-off mode introduced in Guitar Hero II. Two players will face each other, trying to complete a song while successfully playing Star Power sequences to earn attacks that can be used against their opponents. Players will be able to store three attacks at a time and can activate them by tilting their guitars upward, but the attacks are only temporary. If neither player fails the song, they will face each other in a Sudden Death segment. The attacks include: • Broken string: One fret button on the opponent's guitar will not work until it is fixed (by rapidly tapping the button). • Difficulty up: The opponent will play the song on an increased difficulty for a short duration of time (except for expert difficulty). • Amp overload: The fret board will shake and cause the notes to blink, making the scrolling notes difficult to read. • Whammy bar: The opponent will have to use the whammy bar repeatedly before he/she can play notes again. • Steal power: This will steal your opponent's power-up (this will be lost if used when the opponent has no power-up). • Double notes: The opponent will have to play any single note as a two-button chord, and any two-button chord as a three-button chord for a short amount of time. • Lefty/Righty flip: The fret board will be mirrored, requiring the attacked player to change his or her handedness. • Death Drain: After the players go into Sudden Death mode, all Battle Powers turn into unstoppable Death Drain attacks. When Death Drain is unleashed upon the opponent, a figure resembling a winged Grim Reaper will appear to have a constant negative influence on their opponent's rock meter. Every mistake the player makes accelerates their rock meter drain, and eventually the Grim Reaper will block the player's view of the frets and thus the player will fail, since their Rock Meter will be put past the failing red range. |

Controllers |
Guitar Hero 3 zal worden geleverd met een controller. Deze verschillen een beetje per platform: ![]() Zoals je ziet zal bij de Wii de Wii-mote in het gitaartje moeten worden geklikt. Hierdoor verschilt niet alleen het gitaartje zelf maar zullen er bij de Wii ook wat exclusieve 'extraatjes' zitten. Niet alleen wordt de accelerometer en de wireless capaciteiten van de Wii-mote misbruikt, ook maakt men gebruik van de rumble en het speakertje wat in de Wii-mote zit. Zo zal de speaker de 'foute noot' geluidjes maken en zal de rumble zijn effect laten voelen op het moment dat men StarPower instart. |
