Guitar Hero III: Dragonforce gameplay video

The band Dragonforce never looked this awesome - nor this hardcore - in this video update of Guitar Hero III, featuring a playthrough of one of the legendary band's more well-known songs, Through the Fire and Flames.

Trust us when we say this - if you thought ANY of the tracks in the previous Guitar Hero titles was hard, then Dragonforce's offering for the chord-shredding title coming out on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii is going to rock your world.

In this video, we see the track beginning at a normal pace, with the corresponding button presses coming in thick and fast (but manageable to the experienced Guitar Hero). It's when the guitar solo kicks in that the track goes into overdrive - with buttons flying out from each and every corner, designed specifically to maim and ridicule your fingers, your eye-hand coordination, and your ego. Ouch, ouch, OUCH.

Despite the rather huge spike in difficulty, let's all take solace in the fact that the new guys behind Guitar Hero III (Neversoft) are taking their jobs pretty seriously - serious enough to give Dragonforce the epic challenge it should be.

Life Wasted?

Who could play like that? Either it comes natural somehow or you spend every waking hour playing this game. What a pointless song if its that hard.
by - 2007-08-03 13:20:32
no way

Are you out of your mind if anyone could get this song theyd be the greatest GH player ever and a legend and my best friend and everything else thats awesome

Why not trying

an actual guitar? If you can play it on a real guitar than who needs crappy ass GH III

Overexaggerated

The song is probably way easier to play in real life. Its still probably hard as hell, but GH3 just makes it unrealistic.

not true

u obviously dont play guitar and have know idea how hard that actually is to do.... i would say the opposite and say that that version is much easier than playing it on actual guitar

sss

they arent even 1:1 note for note with the dragon force. That song is mad fast
by - 2007-08-03 15:15:03
yeah right

the actual song have more faster/harder solos let me just say it's not all natural !!!! they recorded it in a studio you know lestin to slayer's ((raining blood)) there's a hard song to play

Man you get a life

i guess your one of those people who says oh yeaaahhh ive done somethign right with my life i can play guitar? well guess what so can i and bass and i also play the violin. now GH is such a bloody fun game to play i just wish the controller for GH2 was wireless:(. Being drunk or high with your mates and watch your performance drop with every can is a hillarious experience.

Awesome

Dragonforce are my fave band and i've been waiting for one of their songs on GH since i first saw the first game!!!!!
by - 2007-08-03 17:04:52

that guy is awesome whoever he is. Cannot wait for this game to be released. And yes I have a life but do play gh2 on ocassion when chicks are over to show off....held a whole conversation with a girl and got 98% on expert on sweet child o mine.......not looking baby
by AoxomamoxoA - 2007-08-03 22:20:55
yawn

by AoxomamoxoA - 2007-08-03 22:22:34
virgin

wow youre a dork! you play games when you have a girl over to show off? HAHAHAHA
by - 2007-08-04 03:17:45
sure

Im sure that took loads of practice to do that song.
by - 2007-08-04 08:38:47
eh

Ill stick to my casual guitar hero playing medium difficulty.. i have more fun when i can actually play the song
by - 2007-08-04 12:03:53
wow?

You held a conversation w/ a chick and got a 98% on Expert on Sweet Child O' Mine? Not looking too? I'm impressed, sir! /sarcasm *starts slow clap*
by - 2007-08-04 12:09:27
...

i dono about everyone but that just does not look like fun. i mean if you were playing on a real guitar were it would actually get you somewhere in your life and not a GH tournament then youd be amazing but that is just so damn hard and pointless
by - 2007-08-04 16:44:35
WOW

and i thought jordan on ghII was hard..
by - 2007-08-08 15:10:56
***** yeah

I WANT TO PLAY IT NOW. i have been looking for a song this hard for a lomg time. I can play all the songs on guitar hero 1&2&encore rock the 80 and still get a 100%.All I ever play on is expert.
by - 2007-08-13 08:09:50
Nice, nice, nice

I hope this is an unlock song, though. It would make Expert Tour Champ not so much of an easy achievement anymore.
