Guitar Hero 3 rocks the BlackBerry, viciously

Drop your axe and pickup your BlackBerry? Seems Hands-on Mobile and Magmic Games have brought the wildly popular -- 7.5 million songs downloaded for the mobile version in less than six months -- guitar thrashing lunacy to the BlackBerry platform. The software can be picked up in two different flavors, a $4.49 subscription version that delivers 15 tracks up front with an ongoing charge of $4.49 which adds 3 songs a month to your track list. Magmic also offers a outright purchase option at $14.99 which includes the 3 songs a month. The initial crack track list includes songs like Santana's Black Magic Woman, Van Halen's You Realy Got Me, and even a bit of Black Sabbath by way of Paranoid. Aside from absolutely destroying corporate productivity, this game will add hours of joy -- and pain, we expect -- to your BlackBerry experience.

it's pretty sweet, just downloaded for my son and he loves it - but no real strumming, and only 3 notes, and a polyphonic version of all songs is a bit odd, may grate on your nerves...but wow, this could keep my kids busy in the car for hours and then i can avoid all phone calls! -dave, passingnotes (.com)

Seems a bit obscure - no strumming, only 3-keys and it's all thumbs! Maybe rename it to Thumb Hero. I don't know...I'll wait for more reviews before trying this one out!

not as cool as the real things but a decent way to pass time
