Time with product: 5 Months

Strengths: great songs, online play is great, good for challenging yourself, downloads are cool.

Weaknesses: wireless guitar lags a bit, some expert difficulty songs are almost impossible to pass

Summary: I've been playing guitar hero for about 5 months and i have mostly no complaints. its very popular online and i can't stop playing it. i also love downloading songs just for the sake of having a new song. its also fun to show off to your friends, even though it kinda proves that you don't have a life. lol. the heck with rockband. guitar hero 3 ROCKS!

Strengths: Great songs; addicting gameplay

Weaknesses: Almost too challenging on Expert

Summary: Lots of great popular rock tracks plus all the downloadable content adds even more value. Being new to the Guitar Hero franchise, I was amazed at how quickly I became addicted. Lots of multi-player modes to choose from. As others have said, some songs on Expert are nearly impossible.

Strengths: It's Guitar Hero, man. New controller rocks.

Weaknesses: There's always an iffy song or two on the playlist. Some are quite impossible to complete on Expert mode.

Summary: Like Grand Theft Auto, anything from id Software, and maybe the Tony Hawk series, the Guitar Hero games seem unstoppable at the moment. The new wireless Les Paul controller is very effective, and the game is just as much of a blast to play as when it first came out.

Strengths: The wireless guitar works very well. Online play is especially fun.

Weaknesses: It would be nice if you could play Co-Op Career mode online...

Summary: Naturally, this is Guitar Hero, so all the songs are not only great to listen to, but even more fun to play! I used to have the Wii version and its on-line playing was horribly broken. Using Live to play on-line is extremely fun, especially with a friend! On-line battles make good use of the headsets for trash-talking, as well! If you enjoy rock and the Guitar Hero series, you won't regret this purchase!

Strengths: 2 Player games, songs

Weaknesses: Some stuff is not so good, like co-op career.. There shouldn't be cheats

Summary: Amazing songs, and great graphics. Battle Mode, Face-Off, and Pro Face-Off are lots of fun.... but what happened to Cooperative??? Why can't you play any song you've unlocked with a friend instead of playing everything again?
