Metal head Neil at Critical Gamer, got his hands on preview of Rock Band 3 at this years Eurogamer Expo. Was he able to shred like a demon with the new guitar controller

Critical Gamer writes: When Guitar hero first dropped onto the scene I was a hater. Not because I hate guitar music. Far from it, I was a complete metal nugget as a youth and a living testament to the adage once a metaller always a metaller. No, what I hated about it was that being able to play a real guitar. Guitar Hero totally threw me. Especially when confronted by a song I knew by heart. The game’s telling me to press the blue button but my fingers are telling me to power chord G and then shred like a demon.

Since my metal nugget past is no secret here at the Critical Complex, it’s me that gets the job of checking this latest pretend-to-be-a-rockstar game out. I’m not looking forward to it. I had a blast with the first one, though, because it had drums and I like a good air drumming session as much as the next Keith Moon wannabe. That and I’m far too much of a show off to shy away from standing in front of the mic and singing out of key at full volume.
