So I beat through the fire and flames on expert...
I had a guitar-gasm...
Now I can review Guitar Hero 3.
Basically the good things it has is the upgraded guitar and the batle mode, the intro was awesome and (as far as I know) there's no guitar/song lag.
The thing that bothered me the most was the song selection, no variety, besides santana and the rolling stones it was the same things, not to mention they only packed hits, not obscure song like last time, loading times were an issue and the singer is the uglyest thing I seen since MD Geist.
I'll stick with Guitar Hero 2, thank you.

But congrats on beating it in expert! ^__^
If I could find the code for embeding the video on these forums I would embed it.
Yeap. It was about what I'd expected. ^_~
Well done, you have in effect mastered the one string guitar. I knew I shouldn't have gone with six string to start me off.
Well, but I already know how to play a six string guitar, been doing so since I was in 3rd grade.
I started playing guitar hero because of all the fuzz about the first game, it's nothing like playing guitar, good warm up though.
EDIT: knowing how to play guitar actually makes guitar hero harder, especially if one has been playing for 15 years.
Co-op is only available in career mode. This means you have to beat career mode to unlock every song in each difficulty. Grind ++
You pick the difficulty before the song in quick play. This may seem little but it's a total pain to back out when you're passing the guitar around.
Difficulty settings are all to similar. Medium is a hard medium and the difference between hard and expert is somewhat minimal. It doesn't seem as balanced for novices through GH geeks as the prior ones.
Battle mode is OK but the broken career-mode is absolutely breaking the game. I've always played this with people in the room and just rocked out. Other than battle mode (which is OK) it's pretty much just Guitar Hero 2.5.
You forgot the slow loading times.
I spent all night trying to unlock a song, only to find out that you can only unlock it in co-op. Great.
I could also go for Psychobilly Band, which has a guitar, a drumset and an upright bass.
