The songs of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

Although the career mode of Guitar Hero II only featured 48 songs, the ability to purchase extra tracks through the in-game store as well as online through the Xbox Live Marketplace bumped up the final track list to nearly 100 tunes. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will be no different as there are 63 songs already confirmed for the game with Neversoft promising even more tracks for download on XBLM.

This could quite possibly the worst game ever created [and I refuse to use the term 'advergame']. The sheer horribleness of this game is so incredible, you’ll wonder how they pulled it off. It gets so many things wrong that the fact that it’s free shouldn’t even be a redeeming quality. Bad PSone level graphics? Check. Gameplay where you have no idea whether you’re winning or losing? Double check. And finally, character and level design so bad it makes Superman 64 look like Gears of War? You guessed it, checkeroo.  I mean, why would a Yaris hate a flying box-shaped owl?
