Competitive Fake Plastic Rock
Scorehero is generally regarded as the ultimate source for competitive Guitar Hero and Rock Band online. And that’s in addition to the built-in online leaderboards in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the games.
But worldwide competition can be a little.. intimidating. Did you know that someone recently full-comboed Guitar Hero I and II? That means they played every single note perfectly in every single song in the game, including bonus tracks, on Expert difficulty!
The mind boggles.
I’m a decent Expert guitar player, but I’m nowhere near good enough to compete with that.
If you’re looking for something a wee bit less intense, check out Angry Edison.
We host on-line bracket tournaments for Guitar Hero 3. The tournaments are completely free and open to all game consoles that can play on-line. The tournaments feature automatic scoring, enforced skill levels, and short play times amongst other things.
Whether you’re a pro that plays all day long, or a casual player that can only play a bit each night, the tournaments here will fit your schedule and your skill. Our tournaments are played for fun, but we do have prize tournaments most weeks where the winner gets a nice little prize.
They also have a fairly nice walkthrough of creating stickers for your guitar, as well as a link to the Flickr Guitar Hero designs group for showing off your work.
I do wonder, however, why they don’t support Rock Band — it’s very difficult for me to go back to Guitar Hero at this point.




Thanks for the write up, Jeff! I’m sure Rock Band is double what GH is, but alas, I don’t have Rock Band and thus can’t do any testing, development, etc. The only “next gen” I own is the Wii and I’m at the point where I almost refuse to buy more games like GH/RB until Nintendo figures out their DLC. I feel us Wii-owners were duped a bit as reports and promises of DLC early on seemed likely. All the Wii needs is a USB HD attachment. Is that too much to ask?
I hope one day to expand Angry Edison to include Rock Band, or GH4, or Rock Band 2, or whatever comes down the pike. Building and running the site and tourneys has been a great experience thanks to the excitement from all the players.
