Guitar Hero III Achievements: Interesting, Ridiculous
Posted over on XBox360Achievements .org today (via X3F) is the full Guitar Hero III list of unlockable goodness. Here at The Weekly Geek we tend to be a bit more in the Rock Band camp, but Guitar Hero III is still getting a little anticipation love. Now, I'm big into achievements. I am not so much interested in my gamerscore going up as I am in hearing that little blip and seeing my sort of badge area get filled up. I love having added goals besides just completing a game, it's something I do in games anyway. For me, they promote exploring these worlds the game creators spent so much time on, as opposed to just speeding through to the end credits. In Guitar Hero II for the 360 we saw your basic achievements, beat the game on hard difficulty, beat the game on expert, unlock all the songs, unlock all the guitars - but Guitar Hero III is amping up the craziness with achievements like "Meet Your Maker" which requires you to "Beat one of the creators of Guitar Hero 3 at their own game". What does it mean?! Are you supposed to somehow encounter a GH3 dev on Live and then somehow be better at the game than them? If so, why is it only 20 points and not something like 100?
There are some other fun achievements, like "Tone Deaf" which requires you to play through a song with the in-game volume turned down to zero, and "Whammy Mania" which has you using the whammy bar for every long note in a certain song. Rad. Check out the full list at the site.
