This month's "Retro Let's Play" is Guitar Hero - 3 - Legends of Rock from 2007
Released in late 2007, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is a highly successful rhythm video game and the first main installment in the franchise developed by Neversoft. Simulating the experience of a rock guitarist, the game requires players to use a guitar-shaped peripheral to time button presses with scrolling colored notes on the screen across four difficulty levels. This iteration introduced several franchise milestones, including a dedicated Co-Op Career mode, competitive "Boss Battles" against real-world music icons like Slash and Tom Morello, and online multiplayer functionalities for major consoles. Backed by a diverse, 73-song tracklist predominantly consisting of master recordings, Guitar Hero III became a massive commercial phenomenon, earning the title of the best-selling video game of 2007 and distinguishing itself as the first individual retail video game to surpass one billion dollars in sales.
