Reviews of The Guitar Hero III Game App For BlackBerry

Guitar Hero III Game for BlackBerry

Summary

Guitar Hero is one of the most popular games. This has been true almost since its release. While a large part of the pleasure of playing that game comes from being able to manipulate the guitar setup that comes with it, at the same time people must acknowledge that the game on its own has a lot of merit as well. The BlackBerry people certainly believe this to be the case and that is why the Guitar Hero III app for the BlackBerry has been released for public consumption.

User Interaction

At first, the release of Guitar Hero III for the BlackBerry might seem like a bit of a contradiction. After all, if the BlackBerry is supposed to be the ultimate in mobile technology, how can releasing a game that requires a huge controller be of any use?  Well, you don’t actually get to use that controller in playing this game. It would be a bit ridiculous if you did considering the mobile nature of the BlackBerry, but by the same token it is also a little strange that you don’t get the chance to use one of the main reasons why the game is popular in the first place.

Instead of using that guitar to control your actions in Guitar Hero III for the BlackBerry, you instead get to use the controls on the BlackBerry. You push buttons in order to correspond to the directions that are on the screen, allowing you to play the game in the same way and with the same rules, just with a different controller. It is very similar to playing Flash Flash Revolution online with your keyboard arrows as opposed to playing Dance Dance Revolution offline with the dancing pad.

User Interface

As far as the user interface is concerned, you will see everything that you would expect to see from a Guitar Hero game. There will be the instructions and the graphical elements that you need to follow the action and of course there will also be replies to how successful you were at jamming on your converted BlackBerry guitar. Essentially, nothing about the internal mechanics of the Guitar Hero III game have changed in its movement over to the BlackBerry. The depth might be a bit different, but aside from the change away from the guitar controller, there is really nothing else for you to worry about.

Utility and Productivity

In the end, the utility and productivity of this game is great. When you take a look at the overall mechanics of the control system, it becomes quite obvious how easy it is to control this game. Furthermore, you can easily bash out a song on your way to work if you take public transit, meaning that you can play Guitar Hero III everyday without having to actually worry about it cutting into any other aspects of your life.

Rating

As a result of the great game play, the fantastic productivity and the successful conversion to BlackBerry app status, Guitar Hero III receives a score of 9.0 out of 10.
