Sorry, but I disagree.

Tom Morello > bonus songs > everything else

The initial characters really suck.

Tom Morello is in this one as a playable character!!! I take it all back, Tom Morello is awesome, buy him before all songs. Same goes for the rest of you!

Man, did it take forever to beat Tom Morello on medium.

I eventually was able to pick up every attack as they came and  started nailing him once per session after I built up three in the queue. By the end he was hurtin' and he wasn't able to use the power drain.

I usually am able to pull off the hammer-on and pull-off technique, except when there are a ton of notes flying down and I lose track where I am.

I really enjoy this game, love the fact that the original artists are on it, and the selection of songs ain't that bad.

Question, and forgive me if this has been previously discussed, is there a chance that Wii version might someday let you pay to download more songs or is it just not technically possible at this point?

[Mashiro]

I believe they are in talks with Nintendo to figure out a download system for GHIII so only time will tell.

[NWR_insanolord]

Them making a point not to give a "no" answer is makes me hope that Nintendo has a storage solution in the works and they know it but aren't allowed to say anything. Maybe. Come on Nintendo, I want to give you my money for more VC games! Give me the space for them and you can have it!

ok question

can u download songs or not. i hear people say that u will be able to but i cant find  that on the nintendo page

[Rhoq]

Nintendo already has a storage solution - SD cards. Right now though, the SD card slot is just a waste of space. The official status of GH3 DLC for the Wii is "TBA". It was never ruled out, but at this point there is only a 50/50 chance of it ever happening. It really all depends on what Nintendo is willing to allow developers and publishers to do with DLC on the Wii.

Nintendo WFC is an archaic, backwards service. Requiring friend codes for each game that you want to play with your friends is redundant. It completely undermines the purpose of having a code for the Wii itself. I'm under the impression that we will not get the DLC because of Nintendo's stubbornness to implement a friendlier on-line atmosphere.  

[that Baby guy]

As far as DLC goes, right now it's a "No."  I think the DLC isn't truly a Nintendo "elephant in the way"-type of problem, but more along the lines of "Hey, we could spend a few weeks creating a DLC system that matches the middleware we've got to work with, but what if no Wiiers buy the game?"  Once we see Activision and RedOctane's reactions to the sales numbers, we'll probably be told a definitive answer to whether or not it will be done.  I think the game sold well enough to be a "Yes," personally, but that's solely my opinion.

Someone didn't read one post above him.

I've moved onto Medium and I'm starting to get pretty decent.  I just kicked Tom Morello's ass.  

Is it better to hit the blue note with your pinkie finger or is it better to just shift your hand down a notch?  I'm currently playing with my pinkie, but when (if) I move up to Hard it seems like I'm going to have to get used to shifting my hand to hit the orange note, so it might be best to get used to it now.  How do most people play?

[Mashiro]

Lol yeah that's my problem Vudu but to a worse extent. It's getting very hard for me to constantly use my pinky without forgetting to hit the blue notes. If I shift my hand to hit the blue notes however I occasionally mess up my hand position and start hitting the wrong keys screwing up even worse X_X.

By the time you move up to hard/expert you are going to need to do both. I would try changing it up from time to time, hit some with the pinky, and shift other times.
