PC Players Get the Wrong End of the Guitar with Guitar Hero III for the PC
Before you read this little diatribe, you might want to take a gander at the 360 review of Guitar Hero 3 first. The game is basically identical to the PC version, but in true Activision porting fashion, the PC players got the shaft end of the stick with this version of Guitar Hero 3.
While I am not a great player of Guitar Hero 3, I can hold my own into the Hard settings of the game. I have always enjoyed the game, even though I get frustrated at times due to my lack of musical skills. But nothing was going to prepare me for the torture I was about to endure with this game.
Just loading the game caused issues as I got a SecuROM error. No biggie, a few tweaks here and there and we get past that error and you get into the very familiar menu screen of Guitar Hero 3. As a matter of fact, if I did not tell you it was on a PC, you would think you were using the 360 version of the game. Even down to the track selection which has a Downloaded songs section. One problem

It seems that the in-house neversoft version (360, ps3) is the only one they care about. I haven’t looked for any PS2 reviews but the other outsourced ones (wii, pc) are nowhere near the quality of their primary release.
