Since Guitar Hero first hit the market place this has become one of the most popular of all games a person can play on their console whether it be an XBox, PlayStation or Wii. However in this article we will be taking a closer look at the version of Guitar Hero for XBox. As you will soon discover if you choose to buy the latest version of Guitar Hero for your XBox 360 it is pretty much the same as those made available for the PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii.

Yet there are certain things which make this particular version of Guitar Hero III stand out from the rest. The first being the online facilities that come with this game. With the XBox 360 version you are provided with the following online features:

1. You can immediately join up and become a member of an online community where other players of this game with an XBox 360 can meet up and compete against each other online.

2. The matchmaking feature it has on it and which the Wii has is much more superior and provides you with a chance to get a good friends list together. Through this list you can then challenge and compete against others online in a matter of minutes.

3. This version of the game comes with a Face Off Mode feature which allows you to play against those who are at a different level of ability to you. But still allows you to compete against them in head to head competitions just as competitively.

4. It allows you to download new songs to add to your already large list through its Market Place features as well.

But even with these additional features the price of the XBox 360 version is going to cost you around $100.00 compared to the Wii version which will set you back $90.00. But the hours of fun you will get from using yours both off and online will soon show you what a sound investment you have made.

When playing online the players will play the same phrase alternately in order for them to build up the best score possible for themselves. By doing this you can easily see how the other player is doing because you are not required to play at the same time as they are. This not only makes the game more competitive but helps you to possibly understand where you may be going wrong as you play.

Another great feature of the Guitar Hero for XBox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii is the Backstage Pass. This allows you to log on to the Activision website and obtain information as well as news announcements. Plus it provides all those who choose to join sign up as a member to this feature other goodies as well. So no longer is this a game for one to play on their own but a way to meet new people also.
