Call Of Duty MW3 offers

With the release date now announced online retailers have started adding the title across all formats to their sites and with that some have already starting promoting offers for pre-orders, Sainsburys being one of them.

Buy Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox 360 from Sainsburys for £35.99 when entering discount code JSCOD820 (original price £44.99).

Should I Pre Order?

Many of you will recall that the last game Black Ops had numerous special offers on release date across the main UK supermarkets and retailers so those savvy gamers will be more than happy to brave the queues and not bother pre-ordering their copy.

It is however worth making an online pre-order as Sainsburys along with other online retailers will not take any money from your bank account until the game is despatched. That way you have a fail safe / backup in case you struggle to get hold of the game.

It will however be more than likely (as with Black Ops and MW2 before that) that come release day you may be able to pick up a copy for around £25 – £30 if you are prepared to shop around and join the masses who all have the same idea, so the choice is yours.

Over the coming months we will highlight any further offers we find for Modern Warfare 3 and when the release day deals are announced in the national press we will also cover these. This may be the first MW3 deal we have added to 360Bargains.co.uk but were sure it will not be the last.

What’s it like?

If you are a fan of the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games then you really should give this a go as it is very similar and pretty easy to learn. Before you know it you will be mixing the likes of Rihanna with the Marvin Gaye or Calvin Harris with New Order.

Will it keep me entertained?

With the ability to crossfade, scratch and sample over 70 tracks in DJ Hero 2 alone not to mention the similar amount with DJ Hero 1 and the mass of download content you can get from Xbox Live this will keep you going for a good while.

If your the type of person who enjoys mastering a game then the expert mode is a real challenge and trying to 5 star all of them would take some doing!

Chart Attack
Another week, another rhythm action game. Or at least that’s how it feels. This one, in case the title is confusing you, is actually from the makers of the ‘Hero’ franchise, not the ‘Band’ franchise. The same people, in fact, who only recently released Guitar Hero 5, a game that also featured the option to play as a whole band complete with guitarists, a drummer and a vocalist; not just a lead guitarist. Confusing, isn’t it?

Band Hero is, presumably, a proper response to EA’s Rock Band series of games. Sure, Guitar Hero 5 introduced full band features to Activision’s series, but this is where the franchise is steered away from its rock roots and points towards a future of more eclectic spinoffs.

Pop Till You Drop
You see, while it would be easy to dismiss this as simply Guitar Hero 5 with a new track list (which it is, in terms of its gameplay features) it also represents a pop-based alternative to Guitar Hero’s previous staple of relatively heavy rock songs. Those who felt the lighter side of popular music was ill served by the previous games are going to love this new development.

Those who felt the lighter side of popular music was ill-served by the previous games are going to love this new development. As far as the gameplay goes it’s (mostly) business as usual. Whether you’re playing lead guitar, bass, drums or vocals, you have to match your rhythmic actions to the those presented on the screen. Keep to the beat and fame and fortune awaits. Cock it all up and you’ll be booed off the stage. In keeping with recent developments in the genre, you can opt to play any or all of the instruments on offer and indeed the options are so flexible you can even play with four drummers if you so desire. So far, so predictable.

Thank You For The Music
Music-wise though, Band Hero is a whole different kettle of fish. The track listing is, depending on your point of view, either amazing or awful. We’d go for amazing and it certainly spans an interestingly diverse range of tastes. Duran Duran’s Rio and David Bowie’s Let’s Dance magnificently headline the game’s 80s line-up, there’s a bit of disco from Village People, while more up to date acts include Maroon 5, Lily Allen, Fall Out Boy and Snow Patrol. There’s also plenty of guitar based stuff there to placate any rockers panicked by the game’s new direction. And that’s just the console version.

There’s also plenty of guitar based stuff there to placate any rockers panicked by the game’s new direction. There are also a few new gameplay features in here to keep us happy until the franchise get its next major retooling. Now it’s easier than ever for experts and novices to play alongside one another and players can even join, drop out or change their settings at any time without jeopardising the jam session. Playing online opens up several play modes including Pro Face-off, Elimination and Perfectionist. In addition, vocal fans can try out the karaoke mode, in which they can simply sing along to songs rather than worrying about hitting the right notes or scoring well.

Wii and DS owners are particularly well served by Band Hero. The Wii version includes additional play modes exclusive to the console and the ability to incororate their Miis into the fun. DS owners, as well as simply playing the game on their handheld can also wirelessly link up with the Wii version in order to either manipulate the set-list while others jam out, or take part in a fun Roadie mode. This involves DS players controlling on screen roadies who can tamper with an opponent’s equipment while they’re playing the Wii game.

Band Hero may not take the genre anywhere new, but it certainly adds a lighter poppier option for those exhausted by the relentless heavy rocking of previous games and also provides enough little tweaks to keep exisating fans happy too.
