 Could use more songs, but a good buy for Xbox 360 Guitar Hero 3 owners November 2, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I wish this album had more songs. The tracks included are mostly great, but there's so much more they could have done with the album. Steve Ouimette's metal version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia is pretty good - the guitar is excellent even if the singer sounds like a nobody. It's a little too long, though.
It does come with a coupon for 3 free downloadable songs for Xbox 360 Guitar Hero 3 though. You have to visit a website, register, follow a confirmation email, then enter the code that comes with the album. Then the site will provide a code to enter in the Xbox 360 dashboard. of the 3 DLC songs, the AFI song Carcinogen Crush is terrible. I normally like them, but this is their most feminine, weak song yet. The Marilyn Manson remix sounds great but opinions are mixed about how it plays. Too fast but still fun, in my opinion. Flyleaf's song is good too.
If you're jonesing for more Guitar Hero 3 songs and want to listen to some of them outside of the game, this is a good purchase overall.
Obviously meant for 360 owners November 1, 2007

It seems to me that the previous posters are quite obviously not 360 owners, or just don't know about the reason why it's a companion CD and not a compilation CD.
In addition to the songs included with the CD, one also get's three additional songs to be downloaded via Xbox Live. For $10 you get what amounts to a song pack that usually runs 500 Xbox Live Points (value $6.25), with a copy of the songs from the game that you can listen to when you don't have your console readily available to you to play them.
Yes a lot of people will have these songs already in their music collections. So what it really boils down to for these people is, do you want to pay for a song pack and a couple of songs that you could otherwise download from iTunes (Curses be to Apple), or do the "illegal" route (down with the DMCA & RIAA) and BT them?
Either the way the value is not meant for Wii and PS3 owners to determine, but for 360 owners!
 Needs a re-release October 27, 2007

I agree with the previous reviewer. There are about 70 songs in GH3, and although some of these make sense to include, others don't. With GH2, I had many of the tracks already in my personal CD catalog, and I legally downloaded the remainder I didn't have from iTunes, costing me about $15 or so. Given the increase in number of tracks on GH3, it's going to be nearly impossible for most of us to ever get a comprehensive soundtrack of the game. Although this is a nice sampling for the casual rock n roll fan, those of us that want all the songs ought to be treated with a multi-CD set.
The game is about the music, so let's "hear" it!
Where are the other 68 tracks? October 26, 2007

After Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2 and Guitar Hero: Rocks the '80s came out it was only a matter of days before it was easy to download all the tracks for them, the only hitch being it was illegal, with no easy legal option available. These were therefore massively downloaded, so it makes sense to release an official soundtrack this time around right? This is the result, a handful of tracks that will be included in the game, most of which are probably already in your music collection.
I was thrilled to get to hear the rethought version of "Devil Went Down to Georgia" and am glad to have it in my collection, but thought it could have been better as the vocals were at best mediocre. The GH3 theme was fun, but too short lived for me, and where were the original compositions by Slash and Tom Morello? Will they release another CD with those, or will piracy be the only option?
Quite frankly, I feel that Activision has taken the wrong step by releasing only a partial soundtrack and should have released an additional, more expensive soundtrack with all the tracks from the game, including the bonus and original tracks that will be nigh impossible to get without turning to P2P file servers such as KaZaA or BitTorrent.
For what it is though, this is a fairly mediocre album that will sell well because of the Guitar Hero name on it.
2/5
