The majority of Guitar Hero III's songs are the original recordings from the honest-to-demigod artists themselves. Previous Guitar Hero games have provided adequate doppelgangers, but when you actually get to bust out a Rage Against the Machine song by Rage themselves, there's nothing like it. The same goes for Weezer, Tenacious D, Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins... the list is near-endless. It's another step in air-guitar fantasy fulfillment.
The new Gibson Les Paul guitar controlleris more ergonomically pleasing than GH2's too-angular Explorer. Its collapsible neck is nice, and button placement virtually eliminates accidental pausing. Being wireless eliminates cord suffocation;just make sure to pick up rechargeable AAs. The strum bar is slightly quieter, but we'd like it to be even more so.
