Music Review: Various Artists - Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock Companion Pack - Page 2

The songs for the Companion Pack flow well together, so kudos for the song selection. Are there enough songs that make this a purchase? Maybe. This is a no-brainer for Xbox 360 Guitar Hero III owners. The current price on Amazon.com is right too, $9.99 is a good spot for this so-so compilation, especially considering what Activision s charging for their three-song downloadable content packs on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Game play wise, "Putting Holes in Happiness" will require some furious fretwork. All three songs have fun note charts to play, but the Merlyn Manson remix is by far the most challenging (see below).

I will leave you with two final notes: "Cult Of Personality" was re-recorded by Living Colour for the game, and that version is here on this CD. Also, while the songs were edited for language to make the "T" for Teen ESRB rating for the game, the Companion Pack CD is not edited.
