Yeah Syfox is right so many places are reporting issues on all consoles.
I guess the only really compelling reason to get the PS3 or 360 version over the Wii is that they have downloadable content, Wii is TBA.



Have you seen the prices for that conetnt, though? Particularly on the 360 for GH2....and for THOSE songs? I'll pass...


bylim5 said: omg i heard GH3 is in mono sound. someone confirm this when it comes out



Someone lied an obvious lie to you...and you believed it.

LOL im new to these forums but wow. i cant believe this thread.

Look guys you knew what you were getting into buying a WII.

if you wanted hardcore sex on a stick graphics buy a PS3, dont be so fickle. or better yet BUY A PC. I'm personally saving up for my dream little alienwarez (should i say dell media fingy cause alienware got bought out bleh). PC is still ruler in terms of FPS online control/graphics, IMO. sticks to control where you look are you kidding.

Why did you buy the Wii, then ask why your buying GH3. you've heard moose's warning make up your mind yourself, or try before you buy if your so worried.

Yeah mate, very expensive for what they are. However I'm a huge fan and would pay to get them, even if people choose not to having the option is nice.

Just picked it up this morning. Played online played great. The new guitar feels WAY better than the old PS2 ones. Strumbar and fret keys have a new looser feel to them. Hammer on's an pull of's are WAY to easy now L O L!! Played my first 2 matches online: One and Even Flow on hard won them both with ease! YAY! Now to link my account to the guitarhero site... Oh and graphics aint THAT bad I see an improvement over the GH2 on PS2 Anyway i gotta keep rocking!

Well said, various opinions on a game/product may help some what, but it's best to try it out for your self, hire it first, or take advantage of some shops return policy. I bought Strikers because everyone was saying how good it was, I played it for 3 days and then shelved it. To each their own.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Alienware?

No. Just no.

Go to your local computer shop, choose the components you want, have them build it for you. Alienware rigs cost what, $4000? Building it at your local computer shop will cost you perhaps $1500-2000 with all the latest hardware.

Woohoo!!!! GHIII on Wii rocks!!!! I love it. If I wasn't so bloody sick then I might have clocked up some decent hours on there though lol Graphics are fine and do not detract from the experience in any way. I HIGHLY recommend this game if you are a GH freak or, like me, have never played before but want to check it out. It's ace!

moosechild said: do NOT buy this on Wii for a few reasons:

 • absolutely disgraceful graphics

 • it's very glitchy

 • the guitar is annoying as HELL to deal with

these are just a few reasons so far.

if you don't have a anything else but Wii fine buy it on Wii but you'll be let down a bit if you've played GH1 or GH2.

if you have a 360, PS2, PS3, PC, or Mac buy it for one of those.


No. I own it for PS2.
It's not glitchy,
The guitar is fine,
It's better than both GH1 and 2.
And, who cares about the graphics? You're only looking at the fret bopard coming at you anyway.

Stop whining, the game is great and you will all love it.

I just grabbed it today (the shop I pre-ordered from only received one even though they ordered around 50, so glad I was first on the pre-order list). Has anyone else noticed an issue with it freezing during 'The Seeker' on easy. It seems to lock my Wii up and the only way to "fix" it is to perform a hard reset.

It happened 3 times on easy (went back to make sure it wasn't a freak occurence).

Other than that the game is awesome.
