Guitar Hero III For Windows Mobile
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Pocket PC Software" @ 04:00 PM
It seems that this game came out earlier this month, but I don't think we posted about it - so here we go!
"Guitar Hero® is now available on mobile! Rock out anytime, anywhere with this rhythm-based, three button game that stays true to the original. This is the one-time purchase version of the game. The initial game comes with 15 tracks from some of rock’s greatest acts. With the one-time purchase, you will have access to an additional three tracks issued each month...Rock out anytime, anywhere with this rhythm-based, three button game that stays true to the original. Open with 15 jamming tracks, all taken from the Guitar Hero console series."
It's pretty slick how they've integrated online connectivity into the game - the YouTube video below (after the break) shows how this works: the song is selected, then it's downloaded on-demand. I'm not sure if that means that upon install there are no songs included - that would be pretty silly because you can't always be assured of connectivity or the speed of the connection. Anyone tried this yet? I'm pleased to see the one-time price is reasonable at $14.99 USD - too often these "name brand" games are ridiculously expensive, and they blame the platform for why it doesn't sell. It's compatible with a large array of devices as well - looks like it might be the perfect way for you to get your GH3 fix on the go!
