Fun Stuff Magazine: Why Guitar Hero 3 ?

I have heard conflicting reports on its quality, but Guitar Hero 3 is also available on the PC as well. There is no DLC on the PC version, however.

In any case, the Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 is effectively the same as the PS3/360 versions minus DLC and with graphical downgrades (more specifically, they just ported the PS2 version but implemented online). There was an issue with mono sound, but that has been resolved already. It does arguably have the "best" version of the Guitar Hero 3 as well. If Activision somehow does implement DLC on the Wii version, then you could say feature wise it would be at parity with the PS3/360 version. Personally I find that it is by no means "bad".

Personally I vote for Guitar Hero 3 but I do have unquestionable bias in this case.

I think the Wii version of Guitar Hero 3 is fine, as long as the lack of DLC isn't a deal-breaker. I'd easily recommend buying it over the too-little-too-late-full-price rip-off that is Rock Band Wii, so Guitar Hero 3 probably makes more sense.

If I were trying to make a decision between the two, I'd pick up Guitar Hero 3 on the basis of the developer actually putting in effort (including online, working with Nintendo on DLC), as opposed to the developer just going for the easy money grab (sloppy port, incompatible hardware, no online/DLC).

So if still interested here is a stuff to check: Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock, and a Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, or PlayStation 2 for free with completion of program requirements
