Wii-turning Guitar Hero III
Wii owners who have purchased Guitar Hero III were left confused when they started playing the game: the sound was in mono.
Despite the fact that the game is advertised as supporting “Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound”, only one channel works properly. In a game where sound *IS* the game, not getting the full effect is excessively detrimental to the game.
In an interview with IGN, an Activision spokesperson said: “We are currently working with Nintendo and are planning to issue an improved audio experience in future versions of the game. We expect to have re-mastered discs available by early 2008 and we will be offering consumers replacement discs at no cost once they become available.”
So if you were planning on getting Guitar Hero III on the Wii for Xmas, maybe you should consider a rain check.
