They aren't compatible.

If you buy the Wii version you will only be able to play with other Wii owners and vice versa.

As far as gameplay differences, if you are talking PS2 I don't think there is many differences.

But PS3 and 360 have additional DLC, I believe 360 has another character "God of Rock", while Wii has a character called "Metalhead".

I'm assuming you are talking about GH3

Downloadable Content

Like extra songs that can be purchased and downloaded.

I only have the Wii version though, so I'm just talking hearsay.

You can download something called "Frets on Fire" or so I hear. It doesn't have a guitar though, I don't think. I think it's just a freeware rip-off of guitar hero.

well I looked up guitar hero for mac and apparently next month something is launching
yay

Ahnimus

It's a fun game.

I'm playing on hard, had the game for a couple of weeks. 80% through hard career. 9% through expert career.

LeilaMoonTurtle

yea I want it
but I do not want to buy a console ($500 insane, that is a lot of pj shows!)

guitar hero 3 is coming out for macs next month. you could buy a used ps2, which gives you the ability to play gh, gh 2, gh rocks the 80s and gh 3.

Ahnimus

I want Rock Band. But I just spent $300 on my Wii, and they don't have it for Wii, bastards.

LeilaMoonTurtle

I dont know hw I feel about buying a ps2, too many electronics

guitar hero 3 is whats coming out for macs. i doubt they will release the original games on that platform. used ps2s go for $90, $130 for new ones.

lol! wait til you get up to using 4 buttons. i almost smashed that damn plastic guitar a couple of times.

i rented gh3 yesterday. it was really fun playing evenflow and it's the master track--not some band trying to sound like pj.

I have the same question!

if it's just for guitar hero, the ps2 has the most guitar hero games available. only guitar hero 2 and 3 are available for the xbox 360 and ps3. there are 4 gh games out for the ps2.

LeilaMoonTurtle

so decision has been made i am buying a used
ps2
guitar hero
woohoo
I'm never leaving my apt

The game is so basic, you can run it on a Pentium I.

I'd say not XBox unless you like replacing it every few months. PS3 if you like paying $1000 to play a game.

EDIT: You can't really run it on a Pentium I, but there is nothing special about the game that requires certain hardware.

which guitar hero game are you starting with? are you getting one of the wireless guitars? i need to do that...i have the first corded guitar that came out. it works with all of the games, but i hear the fret buttons are spaced better and have a better feel than the wired ones. supposedly, you don't have to mash the frets like you do with the wired guitars.

LeilaMoonTurtle

i just purchased it

guitar hero 3 -- i think all 3 are wireless

and i purchased a used ps2 for $90

so i will learn that darn yellow button

ok...so you bought guitar hero 3 with the guitar? it comes with the black wireless one, right? you can use a wireless guitar with all 4 of the games, but when i started playing, they hadn't come out with wireless ones yet; i still use the wired one. let me know how you like the guitar that came with 3.

ha! yes, the yellow button. i'm still struggling with the blue one. i beat all of the games on easy, but kind of spaz out on medium. i can't even fathom hard and expert.
