Guitar Hero 3 Demo

Not sure if this against the rules but I'm sure a bunch of people will be as psyched as I was when I heard this. There was a GH3 demo that came out with tony hawk. It has become available online if you have a cdr. Apparantly you do NOT need a modded xbox360 to play this.
LINKY

I have tried and it does work. If anyone wants to know the songs included are
Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benetar
Lay Down - Priestess
Even Flow - Pearl Jam
Rock You Like A Hurricane- Scorpions
The Metal - Tenacious D
 
confirmed to work. i downloaded it and loaded it on my roomies 360.
graphically, it's a little more annoying and things such as your current rate, although big... well the graphics, i cannot describe as anything other than 'muddy'.
decent selection for songs on demo, and the game itself has a great song selection, but so does Rock Band. I look forward to Rock Band more. 😛
 
It's a pretty good demo, been rockin it the past, well, however long it's been since I downloaded it 🙂

I don't know what these muddy graphics are you're talking about
 
Well, regardless of what I posted earlier, my wife found out that I could download this, and requested it. Downloaded it last night, burned and played it this morning. I gotta say, I think I'm going to love the amount of original songs in this one. It didn't really bother me in GH2, but I see the merits of having original recordings. I also did not see anything wrong with the graphics in HD, "muddy" certainly isn't the term I'd use. 🙂

And for those who were confused at first like me, when you insert the burned CD, it will read mixed media in the bar at the bottom. You have to go to the demos, and it will have shown up automatically, and you launch it from there. That was a shot in the dark guess for me after I had burnt my second cd and couldn't get it to stop saying mixed media 🙂.
 
the demo was fun. I love GH but I suck at it. I'm stuck at "Stop - Janes Addiction" on hard. Maybe I can get further with this one and eventually go back and beat gh2 on hard.

You must not have heard Rage Against the Machine's Killing in the Name Of. That was a travesty against all that is music.

I did alright on Easy... cut me some slack, I may own Guitar Hero but I never play it. I much prefer DDR over Guitar Hero as I get bored halfway through a song going, "why doesn't this just end?" I told my brother (a fairly big guitar hero fan) that it was out and I was all "oh man, 77 note streak on Hurricane!" and he's all, "beat it on expert 🙂 148 note streak" ...That bastard 🙁.

Ya, the cover wasn't that grand, but I wouldn't call it a "travesty against all that is music" 🙂. IMO, it sufficed.

that's how my roomie described it. to me, it just looks less vibrant than the former GH games (all across the screen, not just the fretboard with notes running down it). Mainly, it would appear that the extra information on the sides flanking the fretboard, are not as vibrant as the similar sections from the past games. Understand? It may be just the new style and it's something to get used to. who knows.

It actually looks better than GH2 to me, and this is coming from someone who didn't care for the early screenshots released over the summer.

I just got back from town, and a local store actually had the GH3 demo in their 360 kiosk with the new guitar. The new guitar actually felt really good, much better build quality than the current GH2 360 guitar. The strumming bar was much quieter, and the whole thing just felt good in my hands.

Don't know what 503 is but it should be fairly easy to find on your favorite torrent or newsgroup site. PM me if you need a link
 
It worked great for me. Too bad I don't have a guitar 🙂
I just got my xbox360 the day before yesterday so I won't have a guitar for it until I actually buy GHIII. I just played a few songs on medium with the controller to see how the game looked and sounded. I really don't want to spoil the real game anyway by having the demo songs all played to death when I get it anyway, but it was cool getting to see some gameplay first hand 🙂

haha that is exactly the first thing i thought of with this. even tried to explain it to my gf. seems like a great idea, no mods ftw!
 
Got it to work. Looks and feels great, but it did seem easier on Hard mode than GHII. Well, at least Hit Me With Your Best Shot did.

Yeah it definitely seems easier. I beat all of those songs except The Metal on hard first try but I still haven't come close to beating GH2 on hard.

That song seems pretty easy in general though. Even Flow seemed like a challenge on hard.

Yeah I dunno though for some reason I had no prob with evenflow but failed the metal after a few %. I gotta try it again tonight.
 
Got a chance to play the demo during the weekend, and even though it's just a few songs, I enjoyed it.

Can't wait for the full version!

Question: will the sell gh3 without the guitar? I already have the guitar from gh2 so don't wanna spend more money on another one.
