Graphics well I dont really care about that. It's a music game, i'll be to busy looking at the notes and having a good time. If people notice graphics in GH well yer... No one complained about GH1 or 2 having the best graphics possible on the PS2...

All the consoles had glitches on them.

ALL the guitars on all consoles had issues! From notes not holding, notes not working at all and issues with SP activation. I dont get the annoying as hell bit? The wii has the added functionality of rumble + note misses coming out of the wiimote which the other 3 consoles dont have.

The PS2 version doesnt have online, so thats a no go zone for me.
PS3 has poorly implemented online www.scorehero.com/ Cant play with your friends??? Whats the point of awesome graphics if you cant play with your mates??? Poor conection rates.

Though if I had a 360 I'd get gh3 for it So yah looks like i'll still be getting the Wii version, unless i get a 360 in the next day

just my 2 cents.

moosechild said: if you've played the 360 Guitar Hero III demo on the 360 you'll realize how dramatic the change is in graphics. I think the reason it's soooooo glitchy and graphically disappointing is that they don't put much effort into it. they put all the effort in the other versions and because the Wii doesn't have great graphic ability they just slap crap ALL over it.



yeh well man u can compare the wii to xbox 360.... xbox 360 wud cane the wii on graphics hands down but.... GH3 on the wii is still pretty good, it's really fun but with the wiimote sucks ass.....i recon (Ps3 and 360 people) will never be satified with Wii graphics, but u all shud know that by now... so mooseman don't spoil it for us wii people by demoralising and bashin the crap outa the game graphics (when we all know it will never be upto the standard of PS3 and 360) hehehe

Do you mind telling us what the glitches are? I'm super curious.


when you choose a guitar on career mode the character and the guitar disappear so you can't see what you're doing. that's just one of 'em I can't remember the others right now

I mean I guess its still fun but the presentation of the game is just horrendous compared to the other versions. all I'm trying to say is if you have a 360, PS3, PS2, PC, Mac (well you obviously at least have a PC or a Mac) buy it for one of those.

are we still going on about Wii graphics here? we already know the limitations of the Wii, and are prepared to accept it. do you really need to have 1080 graphics when playing Guitar Hero?!?! gameplay is what more important with a genre like this - and sound!

hook up your Wii to your hi-fi system and turn the volume up while you slash the guitar and melt faces.

tell me who wouldn't have fun with that?!





if you had a 360 or PS3 then i agree, you should get the better version. however majority don't own multiple consoles, they only have the Wii - nothing should stop them from enjoying the game.

True, but Nintendo made a big mistake not incorporating Dolby Digital surround decoding and kept the Dolby Pro Logic II from the GC....poor effort.

"WARNING: Do not buy games which are multi-platform on the Wii because the Wii's version graphics are disgraceful.
FUN is not part of the equation here, ALL that matters is GRAPHICS NOT FUN!"
We might as well have this disclaimer before every game which is released on other consoles.

If you're playing GH for graphics....then you're looking at the wrong thing. IGN and Gamespot both like the game with an 8.6 and 8, respectively. IGN gave it .6 higher than the PS2 version as well. If you have multiple consoles...go for whatever you can find cheapest.

Lol who cares about graphics... Way to many PS3 & Xbox fanboys on this site.
We know they Wii's graphics are not as good but atleast Nintendo puts effort into creativity instead of just updating something they have already done or copy someone else all the time.

GH isnt the type of game to judge on graphics, the Pro Logic support is what's important here.

I haven't played any of them because I honestly thought it looked like a waste of space with the guitars...Not everyone has a decent sized gaming area. And maybe..just maybe I've been staring at a screen too long and my vision is messed up, but none of the screenshots impressed me in the least graphics wise on any console. They all look like very similair generic rockstars flailing musically, nothing more, nothing less, fair enough too.


Unless you can name something drastically face-eatingly wrong with it, this being on the Wii's enough of a selling point for me to finally obtain a copy. The fun to be had would be worth putting up with the hardware.

And for the intermanets sake people stop complaining about the graphics! It's a GAME CONSOLE (primarily) not a multimedia device like the 360 or PS3. There are differences in priority during development obviously. I bet Nintendo could make something to defeat all the rest graphically if they wanted to, but the fact is they wanted to keep the wii in a decent price range, if you want a super computer be prepared to pay for it. I know Ps3 and 360 are more affordable now, but think… which console did they have to compete with that we have to thank for that hm?

Edit: Hainaku, That is the most awesome thing ever! I’m definitely getting this game now just so I can draw all over the guitar.

y dont you check ou this forum, the 360 and PS3 guitr hero 3 games have just as many problems, maybe even more than the wii version of the game: www.guitarhero.com/
booo hoo, the graphics aren't top notch, i want to pay the game not stare at a screen with suerior graphics. Once you sart playing the game you focus on the note chart, not your chracter.
