Guitar Hero 3 Problems on the Wii

[Dr.Mario84]

I would like to know all of the problems you've all been having with Guitar Hero 3.  I feel like there's some that I'm missing.  I'll list all of the problems that I've had with the game.

Mono only sound.
It's become apprent to me that there is no option to have stereo sound.  Although supposedly Dolby Pro Logic 2 is in the game, there's just something wrong.  This appears to be the most well known problem with the game.

Glitchy note charts.
Sometimes when I'm playing a song the notes will disappear quickly or freeze on screen.  Even though this does happen sometimes, this doesn't slow down the timing you should hit the notes.

Laggy note charts (online only).
The note charts and sometimes animations end up slowing down, freezing up or just stopping, period.  This is the result of the user(s) having a bad connection.

Desyncing (online only).
One persons game shows something different from the other persons game on Wi-fi.  Such as a loading screen coming up but the other person is already playing, or people playing two different songs at the same time.

Fake star power (online only).
When the other person tilts the guitar up when there's no star power sometimes the run board will flash up like star power's being activated but will deactivate immediately as that person has no star power.

Star power appears at the same time in Co-op (online only).
Both players have Star Power given to them at the same time, when in reality only you have gotten it.

Arrow being based on hits rather than notes (Pro Face-off, Face-off) (online only).
When someone strums on the guitar the arrow points goes towards their color.  This only happens rarely, though.  However, this always happens at the begining of a song when there's no notes present yet.

User Search never ends (online only).
When searching for a match the search never really ends.  It's possible to desync if you press cancel/ok right when the profile information is sending.

Wii Remote refreshes (Wii remote by itself).
When you press (and hold) a button and then try to activate star power sometimes the Wii remote refreshes itself, disconnecting and reconnecting from the game.

Continuous use of Battle Powers (forgot the actual name).
Sometimes you can use the same power over and over again without collecting gems.


GH3 sure is a glitchy game.  Any more problems you people can find?  I'd love to hear them.

The only problem I've had is mono sound, which isn't a problem for a mono sound setup TV.

I don't have any glitches on the 360 version...  sometimes people will lag online if there's a bad connection, but that's normal.  Otherwise, no problems. :)

There is lag in the menus.

Some things that are very good to point out is first off the video starts off in the middle of Impulse.  Their expressions are very generic too.  Also, the last song highlighted in the background is Hit Me with your Best Shot.  But none of them actually chose that song.  And I can't tell what song the first one is that is the only one that could possibly impulse.  But it looks more like it says Stricken, not impulse.  The other two on the left are the same songs but I forget what name it really is.  The last song is My Name is Jonas.  Yet the picking of songs has yet to be finished?  Yeah I don't believe this is a glitch at all.

Oh yeah and by the way they're playing on pro face-off but the mode shown is Co-Op.

I just noticed that the Wii version doesn't have the animations the some of the videos I saw had.  It's small things, like the starts flying out when you get star power, and Lou's Trident stabbing your noteboard when you lose to him.

Not a hack. I was getting ready to play someone, I don't remember, and I start playing Welcome to the Jungle on the setlist. It was really weird. It was kinda funny too, though.

Laggy note charts don't just happen Online for me:

I was about to begin TtFaF, but the note chart showed up late. The music wasn't synced to the notechart, so I just went back to other songs. TtFaF lagged anotehr time, but otherwise it's worked fine.

With the Wii guitar the wammy bar breaks accisnally, and the one that says star power works for co op at the same time, its supposed to, one player tilts it up then the other player chooses to do it

A lot of lag. Sometimes it takes 10-15 seconds for the menu to show up after I select an option.
