Game is playable with rare slowdowns that may reduce emulation speed down to at most 60%, for short amounts of time (per haps due to processor termal throttling). Graphical glitches happen as soon as any song starts if using DirectX on hardware, then emulation will be stable for a s hort amount of time until spikes of hanging happen and PCSX2 crashes. The game, in addition to existing single-player Career modes, includes a new Co-Op Career mode and competitive challenges that pit the player against in-game characters and other players. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock retains the basic gameplay from previous games in the Guitar Hero series, where the player uses a guitar-shaped controller to simulate the playing of lead, bass, and rhythm guitar parts in rock songs by playing in time to scrolling notes on-screen. Now drop that air guitar, tune your exclusive new Les Paul Guitar Controller and shred the night away with Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
The star-studded soundtrack includes master tracks by such legendary artists as Guns N' Roses, The Rolling Stones, Beastie Boys, Muse and Pearl Jam, with added songs as made legendary by Kiss, Alice Cooper and Heart.
