The third (full) installment of the Guitar Hero series published by Activision. No longer devloped by Harmonix, it was done by Neversoft and they did it well. The Interface is a bit different than GH 1 & 2, but you get used to it after an hour or two of playing. Also there are cutscenes. Badly animated ones, but there nonetheless.
In my opinion has the best soundtrack of the three games, (ill show that later)Co-op career mode, and the new Battle mode where instead of Star power you get Power-ups to "attack" your opponent with. Its pretty much like pro-face off on different difficulties, except it doesnt keep score.
There are also boss battles with Tom Morello, Slash, and the Devil (Lou). You have to make them fail using the various power ups by the end of the song. They dont miss a note unless you attack them, so its difficult.
Last but not least, Activision apparently heard their fans and decided to put the long-awaited "Through the fire and the flames" by Dragonforce as a bonus track. People were ecstatic (I know I was. If your on expert, once you finally pass the intro your home free. dont worry.)
Long fans of the series will love this game, people who have never heard of it will love it. Buy it, its great for parties ;)

The effect you get from playing guitar hero for hours and then looking away and the walls appear to be moving

The phenomena which occurs after desperately trying to either pass or 5 star a song in Guitar Hero / Rock Band / or any other music game.
After trying for what seems like ages, then giving up for an extended period of time (usually when a new Halo/CoD comes out or something). You return to the song and easily complete your objective.

I could not for the life of me, 5 star Free Bird. I gave up and played Halo 3 for a few weeks. I came back Guitar Hero Effect came into play and I easily achieved my 5 star.

A person who plays music in a band or solo (most commonly Indie Rock or other hipster music) who has no or very little talent yet feels compelled to strut around or just generally act like a "Rock Star". Most commonly found in cities with "great music scenes" such as Austin or Seattle and simply revitalizes the idea of empty egotism over any substance. People who want to act like "Rock Stars" for the status symbol, but actually know very little about music itself. So therefore people with the exact same talent and delusional sense of self-importance that a person playing the video game "Guitar Hero" would feel.
I went to the show last night and it sucked, they were all just a bunch of Glorified Guitar Hero Players douche bags.

Guitar Hero hand syndrome is what happens when you play guitar hero for a very long time (5+ years) and whenever a guitar solo or any music that you can follow along to you start playing air guitar and it really does not make you look cool it makes you look more like a poser
Person 1: Man i think i been playing Guitar Hero for to long i think i have Guitar Hero Hand Syndrome *starts playing air guitar*
Person 2: Dude stop playing that silly game and start playing real guitar
