Guitar Hero 3

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 ;)

Dean guitars

Makers of the finest guitars known to man. The guitar of choice for Dime, the Schenkers, Leslie West, Randy Davis, and countless others, these near-mythical musical instruments have been known to increase guitar playing ability, cure leprosy, double penis size, turn any guitarist into an instant hero, vaporize bras/panties/female inhibitions, change water to wine, increase IQ by twofold, cure IBS, boil water on contact, destroy all enemies, inspire EMO tools to pursue a career in real metal, reduce the oil consumption of high-mileage vehicles, grow new hair in funny places, change the most diehard Brokeback Jay into all that is Man.
Ian: Dude! What happened to Jay? He can barely walk!
Brandon: He played my DFH and his kneecap was crushed by the immense weight of his newfound elephant penis. Then he graduated Harvard and impregnated 764,995 women with superhuman fetuses. The other 5 women exploded because the supersperm were playing Dean guitars and their weakened wombs could not handle the righteous thunder spewing forth from the inside.
Ian: That'll happen.
Brandon: That will happen.
