SECOND GAMEPLAY: So after playing for another hour, I became even more frustrated. We decided to play the Battle option. You can choose different difficulties for each player, and once a player gets a streak of correct notes, that player receives different powers that makes the other player do badly. If both players make it past the battle, the sudden death round occurs, and whoever messes up first loses. That part of Guitar Hero can get extremely competitive.
I got extremely frustrated because I kept losing every battle, even when I decided to play on an easier level. Because I was frustrated from the battle it carried over to me just playing regular songs, where I didn't do as well. I realized that I liked just playing the song normally rather than with an intense, competitive battle atmosphere. It was still fun, but the battle portion can make the game a little less enjoyable.
DESIGN: The principal controller of Guitar Hero is a guitar with five bright-colored buttons, with a "strum" button in the middle. On the screen a vertical guitar neck is shown with the different buttons. The Easy and Medium levels do not include the orange button, but the Hard and Expert levels require that button. The extremely cool thing is that even though it is a video game, the guitar is very realistic and you feel as if you are using an actual guitar.
This game has become extremely popular because the songs in the game are all new songs being released right now. This means that the majority of teenagers will want to get this game more than others, because the music in the game appeals directly to the typical video game demographic. Another appealing aspect to this game is that in order to completely beat the game, you must beat the last bonus song on Expert, and everyone who plays the game strives to get to that point. The bright colors shown on the screen along with the strong element of pop culture makes this game extremely attractive to gamers.

SUMMARY: Guitar Hero III, Developed by the makers from ActiVision, is a video game that allows you to play along to classic rock songs with a guitar. This guitar has give colored buttons, and the goal is to hit the correct button at the right time in accordance to the song's rhythm.
FIRST GAMEPLAY: So far, I'm really enjoying playing. There are so many songs to choose from, and it's nice to be able to choose the difficulty level of each song. My character is Casey, a blonde girl avatar, and I am playing against my friend who chose the other girl avatar with pink hair. Thus far I have been playing Pro Face-Off, which is when you pick a song for two players to play. Then you pick the level of difficulty for the song: easy, medium, hard, or expert. It's very fun to compete and play the song at the same time.
I've noticed so far however that it's extremely frustrating when I miss a note. Once I missed a note, I became off on the rhythm of the song, causing me to miss even more notes. The more notes that are missed, the more likely it is that you will fail the song. I'm glad that with QuickPlay, you cam play whatever song you want, whenever you want; whereas with the Career option, you can't play certain songs without passing the ones before them. Once I start playing more songs, I'll have more of an idea of my skill level.
