Guitar Hero III to ship on PC

Prepare for bleary eyes and cramped hands, GH III is coming to PC!
Many of us have spent many an hour rocking out with the Guitar Hero series on our consoles, but for those staunch PC-only gamers the wait is finally over! Today's formal announcement by Aspyr informed the gaming world that one of console gaming's hottest franchises - Guitar Hero - will give the beige box crowd the opportunity to rock out like their console brethren.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is expected to arrive later this year alongside the console version of the game, and fear not PC gamers, a USB guitar controller will be part of that package. Red Octane's Rusty Welch is excited about the prospect that will allow Guitar Hero to go portable:

Providing the option for our fans to play Guitar Hero at their desk or on a laptop on the go is incredibly exciting, and we're thrilled to now offer the ability to rock out literally anywhere and everywhere. PC and Mac gamers can now shred as hard as their console counterparts do, and it's a great opportunity to help promote musicianship and expand the growing number of Guitar Hero fans worldwide.

Being developed and published exclusively by Aspyr, the PC and Mac versions will match their console counterparts with explosive new content and features including a multiplayer action-inspired battle mode, grueling boss battles, a host of exclusive unlockable content and visually stunning rock venues. With more than 70 songs in the set list, and more original master tracks than ever before, players will be able to shred from many of the freshest and hottest artists today, along with many of the most popular rock songs ever recorded. Expanded online multiplayer game modes will also allow PC and Mac enthusiasts to rip head-to-head against players around the world and across either platform, raising the level of competition for true legendary rock status.
