More On: Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
The City of New York is proclaiming September 26, 2007 as Guitar Hero Day with those wanting to try the game getting the chance September 27-30 at the Javits Center. The game's set for release in a little over a month on October 28th. From what I played at E3, it's got some great songs and the new interesting competitive play. I didn't get to use a wireless guitar but it's nice that both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 wireless bundle will be the same price unlike another music game we are looking forward to in a few months.
