Overview
Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock is a rhythm action title released by Activision in 2007 for the Nintendo Wii. Neversoft took the reins of the series for this entry, marking the first Guitar Hero game produced by the studio after Harmonix moved on to Rock Band. Players hold a guitar shaped controller and press colored fret buttons in time with notes scrolling down the screen, strumming along to popular rock songs across decades of music history. The Wii version supports the standard Les Paul controller and uses the Wii Remote inserted into the neck for tilt detection, which triggers Star Power during gameplay. The setlist features 73 tracks spanning classic rock anthems, modern hits, and metal staples from artists like Guns N Roses, The Rolling Stones, Slayer, and Muse. Boss battles against legendary guitarists, including Slash and Tom Morello, give the campaign a fresh hook and provide a memorable challenge for players climbing the career ladder.
The career mode takes players from small dive bars to massive stadium venues, with difficulty tiers ranging from Easy to the punishing Expert mode. Local cooperative play lets two friends jam together as lead and bass guitar, while competitive modes pit players head to head in Face Off, Pro Face Off, and Battle modes where attacks like broken strings and double notes disrupt opponents. The Battle mode brings a fighting game feel to the rhythm genre, making versus matches tense and unpredictable. Unlockable characters, guitars, and bonus tracks reward dedicated players who grind through the career, and the in game store uses earned cash to purchase new content. The boss fights with Slash, Tom Morello, and the final showdown with Lou the Devil stand out as series highlights. With strong song variety, sharp note charts, and party friendly multiplayer, Guitar Hero III remains one of the most beloved entries in the franchise and a standout music title on the Wii library.
