This review is from: Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock (DVD-ROM)

I recently bought GH3 for my PC, and for anyone who's debating buying it, I highly suggest reading this first.

For one, I've seen alot of reviews for this, many with less than top notch scores, mostly in regards to hardware/system requirements.

To those individuals who bought this game and reviewed it poorly for system performance, shame on you for not being an intelligent consumer and reading the requirements.

I have what would be considered a low-end system. A gig of ram, Geforce 6 series card ( AGP mind you..) etc. etc. Granted, I'm sure there are individuals with worse that are playing this, but remember that this is a PC GAME and as far as my hardware for PC GAMING is concerned, it's low end.

All that said, the game runs very smoothly. I'mm running WinXP and haven't had any bugs, crashes, etc. The controller plugged in and was working in seconds, no problem. Game recognized it, played smoothly, no chop, 50+ fps.

The bottom line is this : Don't use this, or ANY game on Vista and expect to be problem free. Vista is buggy and support is low, stop whining. If you have a decent system this game works great, is a fantastic port, and deserves better than a 3 star score simply because some ignorant person didn't read the damn box.

It works great in my box (which has a geforce 8800 GTS G92) with updated drivers and Vista 64bits, I even got a second guitar to play co-op (the xbox guitar, it's the same that comes with this bundle), custom songs can be also added using "guitar hero three control panel" after applying the 1.3 patch for the game.

I installed this on a vista 64bit machine with 4 GB or ram and a GeForce 8500GT. It works fine, but there was a little lag in the gameplay so i had to turn the graphics down.
