I originally bought a PS2 just to play guitar hero 1. And it was quite ground breaking. I then followed it up and bought GH2 and Rock the 80′s. GH2 was a big improvement over the first, and 80′s is the exact same engine as 2, just with different songs and graphic overlays.
Now, I was expecting quite a bit for GH3 but I don’t think I was expecting anything over the top of what is possible. And here start all my issues with GH3:
1. Sony added bluetooth to the PS3 which was an amazing idea. There was NO need to add a wireless dongle. There is wireless built into the PS3 for a reason, USE IT! A wireless dongle for PS2 would be understandable. But common activision, there is NO excuse for the dongle.
2. The implementation of the GH3 controller with the PS3 is below standards. You CANNOT turn on the PS3 with the controller like you can the sixaxis.
3. People have been waiting for a guitar controller for the PS3 so they can play the old GH’s on the system. Here is the controller everyone has been waiting for, but sorry… this controller doesn’t work with anything but GH3. GH I, II, and rock the 80′s still have no way to play on a PS3 even though sony added backwards compatability for legacy games.
4. Why couldn’t they model the guitar after a sixaxis? They could have made the guitar run just like a sixaxis which in turn would create a seamless integration with the PS3 like it should be. The 5 colored buttons could stay the way they are right now, the two bottom triggers on the sixaxis are pressure sensitive and could have been used for the wammy bar. The built in motion sensor could be the ‘star power’ trigger, and there is still many more buttons left over. There is no need for such a poorly integrated controller.
5. The overall timing of the game feels ‘off’. I’ve calibrated and still the game doesn’t feel right.
6. In practice mode, your calibration doesn’t work. So if you calibrate your TV with lets say 50ms, in practice mode it’s always at 0ms no matter what. In the high ms (80+) you will not be able to hit one note properly. Go try it and see for yourself.
7. There are some great songs on here, but there is way more filler than the good stuff. I’ve already beat the game on expert, and I got excited for maybe 4 or 5 songs the entire way through. Mostly it was “lets get this over so I can move on” type songs.
8. The guitar runs on 2 AA batteries. Again, if this was modeled after the sixaxis like it should have been, it would have been a simple usb cord to charge the guitar. Yeah I know it’s just 2 batteries, but I still feel the developers were lazy putting this package together.
There are positives, the removable neck is great, the guitar feels solid, removable face plate, updated graphics (720P), downloadable content in the future. But I still feel let down with this one. Let the flaming begin

First off let me just say that this is a great game. I was a little concerned when it switched from Harmonix to Neversoft, but they have stayed true to what guitar hero is all about. Mechanics of the game is the same and the game play is very fun as usual.
This however is not for the faint hearted. The song list is great (mostly original artists and not cover bands like the last 2 games) but they are very fast paced and particulary “shredders” where you feel your arm is about to fall off. I play on hard and expert. You shouldn’t have any problems and if you are new to guitar hero I recommend on starting out easy/medium due to the difficultly level being anti-upped in guitar hero 3. “One” in particular is the song title by Metallica which is a very hard song to beat and this would be for those who have played guitar hero before and want a significant challenge.
What’s interesting is that they have added what’s called “battle mode” which instead of star power, you get battle power. So when you activate your “battle power” (same as activating star power) you are able to distract your opponent but cutting a string, flipping his guitar to lefty, making him hit the whammy bar, upping the difficult (hard to expert) and doubling the notes. This is a very fun addition and adds to the party game experience while adding challenge too.
As far as the guitar it’s self, I had no problem hooking it (bluetooth and the PS3 version using a dongle). Just hit the button on the dongle then the PS button on the controller. The strum bar does not click as much and it is slightly longer than the previous models making strumming easier. The buttons and neck seem sturdier and les paul design is classic with inter-changable face plates. The guitar is significantly heavier (but not heavy where it hurts the neck) so you don’t feel like you’re going to break it while rocking out to the songs. Online play is great and I haven’t had any problems so far with lag time/delays. I would highly recommend this to has played guitar hero before and to people who want to start playing (just start out on medium trust me).

I won’t waste my time re listing all the problems with the guitar controller, just read other’s reviews.
I love this game, but there is a definite lag and the controller took 20 minutes to hook up right.

I definitely agree that there is some rather bad lag with the PS3 version of the game. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the mysterious dongle that is used to connect the wireless controller to the console, that none of the other versions of the game seem to have. I too have GH 1, 2, and 80′s on the PS2 and I blaze through them on Expert. I have also played GH3 on the 360 and the gameplay was right on and there was no lag whatsoever. Needless to say, when compared to the 360 version of GH3 the PS3 version is just not worth buying. Thats not good at all IMO seeing as how this was one of the games that I chose to buy for the PS3 instead of the 360.
