Keep rock alive with the new third installment in the famed series from Red Octane. Avid guitar fans will definitely appreciate the music and moves created by this game.

Guitar Hero III has all new songs from favorite artists like Kiss as well as newer bands like Heart and the Beastie Boys to allow players to rock harder. Also, players will take rock music to a new level as they experience new features and content. There is even a mode for action-packed battle, with venues created so that they are excellent replicas of the real thing. The rock experience offered by Guitar Hero III is even heightened with the offering of wireless technology, so players can use their guitar controls totally unplugged. Gibson developed exclusive controls that feature faceplates that are interchangeable so the players can customize their guitars and get a rock star experience truly their own.
