Trivia:

First game in the series to feature 4-Note Chords. This is only available by playing the rhythm guitar part of Go That Far by The Bret Michaels Band on expert difficulty.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When one plays "Monsters" by Matchbook Romance in quickplay, during the final verse, the singer is not moving his mouth, but lyrics from Matchbook Romance's lead singer are heard. This is only evident in quickplay because in any other modes it is playable in (e.g. co-op career), the singer is not on stage.

Guitar Hero III vs. Rockband

I've only played guitar hero 2 and 3 but i can safely say that Guitar hero 3 is better that all of them. And then we come to the cheap imitator Rockband. I'll admit that the rockband guitar is cool, but the strum bar sucks! When you have rapid notes in a row the RB guitar strumbar doesn't come back up very quickly, so your left there pounding on this strumbar. On the other hand, the guitar hero guitar looks just as good if you put the supplied stickers on it so looks good. And on the GH3 guitar, the strumbar quickly retracts back to the top for easy rapid strumming. Not to mention that the song list on GH3 is better than Rockband's.

Basically Rockband is a crappy imitator to the whole guitar hero franchise. It is trying to take Guitar Heros place in our living room, but i don't think this will happen for a couple of reasons.

First, the price of rockband is too much. Plain and simple too expensive.

Second, where are you going to put all the crap (the drums especially). I takes up a lot of room that i walk in. The GH guitar easily stores next to the TV.

In the case of Rockband vs. Guitar Hero III, definitely, GUITAR HERO III. Why, because it is a gaming icon and can't be replaced but a cheap imitator.
