Cooperative Gameplay

Two players work together to make it through a song and get the highest score possible! In this mode one player plays the lead guitar and the other player either gets the rhythm or bass guitar. Each player can adjust the difﬁ culty to ﬁ t their skill level.

If you want to succeed in Cooperative Career Mode you really need to work as a team. You share a rock meter with your co-player and to activate star power you’ll both need to tilt your Guitar Hero X-Plorer Controller at the same time.

Get ready for dueling axes of distortion! In the Multiplayer mode there are three different ways to play:

Face-Off: Two players compete against each other while alternating play on the same note chart. Each

player can adjust the difﬁ culty to ﬁ t their skill level.

Pro Face-Off: This is the ultimate duel for guitar champions. Two players battle it out playing the same

note chart at the same time on the same difﬁ culty level. Finish the Medium, Hard, or Expert Career levels to unlock this mode.

Battle: Challenge a friend to a guitar shred-off with Battle mode! By performing well you’ll get series of

power-ups that you can use to disrupt your opponent. To activate the Battle mode attacks you’ll need to raise your guitar like you would when activating Star Power.

Training

Kick out the jams like you mean it. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock offers two forms of training:

Tutorials: These interactive tutorials teach you everything you need to know about Guitar Hero III:

Legends of Rock and are highly recommended for both beginners and experienced players.

Practice: You can take any song in the game that you’ve currently played and can practice any part of it. You

can choose to play the song at the normal setting, or you can slow the song down to really help you out.

Online Play

With a broadband internet connection you can jump online and play with friends from across the globe!

Options Menu

Audio Settings: Change the volume of the band (background music), guitar (the part you’re playing) and

sound FX (crowd volume, background noises) in the game. You can also turn Stereo Sound on and off.

Calibrate Video Lag: Some televisions have an audio visual lag that can make it difﬁ cult to play the

game. Use this screen to calibrate your television’s lag.

Calibrate Audio Lag: Some computer hardware may cause audio and gameplay to fall out of synch.

Use this option to calibrate audio lag.

Controller:

Lefty Flip (Player 1 and Player 2): Use Lefty Flip to ﬂ ip the note locations around on the screen for

players that like to hold the controller in their left hand.

Calibrate Whammy: This feature will allow you to calibrate the sensitivity of the whammy bar.

Manage Band: Delete or rename the bands you’ve created. Save/Load: Save your game progress, load a game, or turn auto save on or off. Videos: Watch the bonus videos you’ve purchased in the Store. The Store: From here you can access the Store and purchase items with the money you’ve earned

from Career Mode.

Top Rockers: Check out your high scores! Cheats: From here you can enter codes that can unlock additional items in the game.

Naming Your Proﬁ le

It’s time to name your band! A good name can mean the difference between opening up at the local youth center and selling out a huge stadium. This band name will serve as the name of your Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Proﬁ le. You can edit this name later in “Manage Band” located in the Options Menu.

HOW TO PLAY

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock’s gameplay consists of pressing the Fret Buttons and strumming on the Strum Bar UP or DOWN in sync to the notes that are scrolling toward you on screen.

Basic Notes:

1. Hold the Fret Button that corresponds to the note on the screen.

2. Strum on the Strum Bar UP or DOWN to play the note. (note: If you see a string of the same notes you don’t have to release the corresponding Fret Button for each note, you can keep it held down.)

Long Notes (otherwise known as Sustains):

1. Hold the Fret Button down

2. Strum

3. Keep the Fret Button down until the whole note has played.

Chords:

Chords are two or more notes played at the same time. These can come in the form of Basic Notes and Long Notes.

The Whammy Bar

Press the Whammy Bar in and out on Long Notes to add your own style to each song. You’ll notice that when you are playing Long Notes, the sound of the note will actually change and bend to reﬂ ect how much you’re pressing on the Whammy Bar.

The Rock Meter

The Rock Meter is the ultimate gauge for how much you’re rocking in the game. This meter has four settings.

Green: Duuuude! There is no stopping you! You’re hitting just about every note thrown at you.

Yellow: Keep on keepin’ on! You’re putting on an ‘ok’ show. The crowd likes your moves…but they’re not

scrambling to make a bootleg of your performance.

Red: Lame! At this rate you’ll be lucky if you can get anyone to help you load your gear into the van after the show.

Flashing Red: Ouch! You’re moments away from failing the song unless you get your act together. Keep this up and you’ll be booted off stage and escorted from the venue.

The Score Meter

Every note you hit scores you points. If you can nail a series of notes perfectly then you’ll receive a handy ‘Score Multiplier’ which is 2-4X the value of each note you hit. Mess up and your score multiplier vanishes.

The Star Power Meter

Nothing blows an audience away like Star Power. Fill this meter up and you can unleash all the glory of Star Power and achieve scores you never thought possible. Star Power automatically doubles any score multiplier you currently have.

(The Star Power Meter needs to be at least half-full for Star Power to be available to use it.)

Difﬁ culty Settings

The ﬁ rst thing every budding rock star has to decide is what difﬁ culty they’d like to play the game.

Easy: The perfect setting for beginner players. This difﬁ culty setting only utilizes three fret buttons - the green, red, and yellow.

Medium: This difficulty setting brings notes a little faster and utilizes four fret buttons- the green, red, yellow, and blue.

Hard: All ﬁ ve fret buttons are used, and some advanced skills are needed if you expect to rule in this difﬁ culty setting.

Expert: This setting separates the champs from the chumps! This insane difﬁ culty will have you frantically using all ﬁ ve fret buttons and pulling off lots of different chords.

Song Results Screen

Grade: The scale goes up to 5 Stars, with 5 being the best. Higher grade scores earn you more cash to spend in the store in Career mode.

Score: This is the overall score you received on your song.

Note Streak: Find out how long you went without making a mistake and missing a note.

Notes Hit: This tells you the percentage of notes you hit in the song.

(If that wasn’t enough data for you… there’s even more stats available by clicking on the ‘More Stats’ option)

HOW TO ROCK

How Do I Get Star Power?

Gain Star Power by nailing a series of star-shaped notes that glow. You have to nail the entire group, otherwise you’re out of luck. You can gain even MORE Star Power by using the Whammy Bar on long Star Power notes. Press the Whammy Bar a bunch to get the most of those long Star Power notes.

Once your Star Power Meter is at least half-full it’ll ﬂ ash and that means you’re ready to tilt your Guitar Hero X-Plorer Controller! To tilt, hold the Guitar Hero X-Plorer Controller straight up! Once Star Power is activated you can lower your Guitar Hero X-Plorer Controller back down and continue jamming. Star Power will stay activated until the Star Power meter runs out.

(In no position to tilt the controller up? You can activate Star Power by pressing the BACK button.)

Guitar Battle Rules

Instead of Star Power, you get Battle Power. Hit the Battle Gems to get a Power-Up. Tilt your guitar upward to attack the other player and make them miss. You have to make your opponent fail before the end of the song or else you go to Sudden Death. In Sudden Death all the power-ups become the devastating Death Drain.

Guitar Battle Attacks

Broken String: Use this attack to break one of your opponent’s strings. The button on the guitar

controller won’t work until they ﬁ x it by rapidly tapping that button until it is repaired.

Difﬁ culty Up: This attack will increase the difﬁ culty on your opponent’s note chart.

Amp Overload: This attack causes the scrolling fret board on your opponent’s screen to shake and

blur, making it extremely difﬁ cult to read which notes are approaching.

Whammy Bar: Use this attack on your opponent to force them to move the whammy bar fast before they can play notes again.

Power-Up Steal: This attack steals your opponent’s attack before they can use it. If they don’t have one to steal and you activate this power, you’ll lose it.

Double Notes: Deploying this attack forces your opponent to double up on how many notes they have to play.

The Lefty/Righty Flip: The Lefty/Righty Flip Attack swaps the note chart around opposite to how your

opponent would normally play the game.

Death Drain: In Sudden Death, the Death Drain power-up will drain your opponent’s rock meter.

GUITAR HERO X-PLORER CONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY

The Guitar Hero X-Plorer Controller is designed to be compatible with Guitar Hero games for the Xbox 360, PC and Mac platforms. Because it is designed to be compatible with multiple platforms, there are some features on the Guitar Hero X-Plorer Controller that are speciﬁ c to a particular platform and will not function when used with the Guitar Hero game for another platform.

GUITAR HERO X-PLORER CONTROLLER CORD INLINE RELEASE

The Controller cord has an inline release. This is a safety feature designed to reduce the chance of computer equipment falling when the cord is pulled. If computer equipment falls and hits someone it could cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of such injuries or damage to computer equipment, it is important to use the Controller

If an inline release disconnects, simply reconnect it by aligning the grooved indentations and pressing the two parts completely together. The Controller will not work unless the inline release is connected properly.

WARNING! Never tape, glue, or otherwise prevent an inline release from pulling apart. The inline release reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of computer equipment being pulled off its surface.
