Career

Live the life of a true rock star! In Career mode you unlock new songs and new venues, and also earn cash that you can use to buy additional songs, characters, guitars, guitar finishes, equipment, and other items in the store!

Character ­Select ­Screen

Pick your axe-wielding hero from this screen! Each rocker has a unique set of moves.

Guitar ­and ­Guitar ­Finish ­Select ­Screens

Which guitar are you going to use to shred up the stage? Purchase different guitars and guitar finishes in the store.

Career ­Status ­Screen

From this screen you can see your overall career status, change your character, change your guitar, or buy gear.

Store

Time to spend the cash you earned with your blood, sweat and tears. Inside the Store you can buy new songs, new guitars, new guitar finishes, bonus videos and even new characters. From the Store you can also download songs using Microsoft® Points via Xbox LIVE®. The downloaded songs appear under the downloads tab.

Co-op Career

Grab a friend and play through the co-op career mode! You’ll need to work together in order to progress. Watch out for certain songs that aren’t available in the single-player career mode!

Cooperative ­Gameplay

Two players work together to make it through a song and get the highest score possible! In this mode one player plays the lead guitar and the other player either gets the rhythm or bass guitar. Each player can adjust the difficulty to fit their skill level.

If you want to succeed in Cooperative Career Mode you really need to work as a team. You share a rock meter with your co-player and to activate star power you’ll both need to tilt your Guitar Hero Controller at the same time.

Quick Play

Jump right in and start shredding! In Quick Play you’re free to play any song you’ve currently earned, unlocked or downloaded.

Multiplayer

Get ready for dueling axes of distortion! In the Multiplayer mode there are three different ways to play:

Face-Off:Two players compete against each other while alternating play on the same note chart. Each player can adjust the difficulty to fit their skill level.

Pro ­Face-Off:This is the ultimate duel for guitar champions. Two players battle it out playing the same note chart at the same time on the same difficulty level. Finish the Medium, Hard, or Expert Career levels to unlock this mode.

Battle: Challenge a friend to a guitar shred-off with Battle mode! By performing well you’ll get series of power-ups that you can use to disrupt your opponent. To activate the Battle mode attacks you’ll need to raise your guitar like you would when activating Star Power.

Training

Kick out the jams like you mean it. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock offers two forms of training:

Tutorials: These interactive tutorials teach you everything you need to know about Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and are highly recommended for both beginners and experienced players.

Practice: You can take any song in the game that you’ve currently played and can practice any part of it. You can choose to play the song at the normal setting, or you can slow the song down to really help you out.
