It also introduces guitar battles where you can battle 2 Legends of Rock, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, and Slash from Guns N' Roses.

The Xplorer controller is compatible with this game along with the new Les Paul guitar, which feels better than the Xplorer.

And Guitar Hero III also caused Guitar Center to have a 27% increase in sales, meaning the game was so awesome that it encouraged gamers to become musicians. The song cracked the Hot 100 by selling 35,000 downloads a week after the game's release.

It had a hugely positive impact on the music industry, like DragonForce's 'Through the Fire and Flames'.

It introduces cheats, such as the iconic Hyperspeed, Performance Mode (where you need to memorize the notes because the highway disappears), Precision Mode (where it is harder to hit notes, like GHII), and the ability to Unlock Everything, which, you guessed it, unlocks every Guitar, Bass, Song and Character in the game.

The HOPO (Hammer Ons and Pull Offs) system in the game was also perfected, meaning you could hold an HOPO in advance from a far distance, making it easier to hit intricate HOPO sections.The hit window has been drastically increased from Guitar Hero II, where it is easier to hit notes on all versions, making it less of a chore to FC the harder songs.

The formula of the series was perfected with this game, with great note placement that looks and feels like you are playing all of the notes in the song correctly.Some of the best sound design in any rhythm game, ever! Bar None!.

Its setlist is the best selection of songs in the series to most people, having iconic rock songs like 'Welcome to the Jungle' by Guns N' Roses, 'Cult of Personality' by Living Colour, mixed with popular heavy metal songs such as 'Before I Forget' by Slipknot, 'One' by Metallica, 'Raining Blood' by Slayer and more, including the now iconic 'Through the Fire and Flames' by DragonForce.

'Anarchy in the UK' by the Sex Pistols and 'Cult of Personality' by Living Colour were both re-recorded by the original bands because the original master tapes were lost.

The main setlist has even more original recordings than Guitar Hero II, though there are still a few cover versions.

For example, Xavier Stone (psychedelic rock), Midori (pop rock), and Metalhead (industrial metal).

Each character represents a different style of rock.

It is the third installment in the Guitar Hero series, Neversoft's first attempt at creating a Guitar Hero game, and known to be the best game in the franchise to most fans and is also the fastest selling game in the franchise's history, being one of the first video games to make over $1 billion in sales. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is a rhythm game developed by Neversoft. The best game in the franchise, and one of the most groundbreaking games ever.
