Guitar Hero III Mobile sells a million
Guitar Hero III Mobile has sold over a million units according to publisher Hands-On Mobile, which had previously announced that the game had also seen over 7.5 million song downloads in under six months. Mobile phones are one thing, but we still have to wonder whether we'll see people playing Guitar Hero DS on the train in the morning.
As there's obviously a market for this title, we might as well mention that the June song pack for the game will feature "Stricken" by Disturbed, along with covers of "Talk Dirty to Me" by Poison and "Rock and Roll All Nite" by KISS. We want to try and understand why people download GH Mobile, but we just hope Phase is doing as well.

Why do people even download that crappy game?

ok fess up. Who Bought this game?!
Happy_man @ May 28th 2008 8:45PM
It just came out on Sprint last week and I got tempted and gave in.....
At least its better than Guitar Legend Got on Stage!, now that was awful. It also is the actual music as oppose to mobile midi's.
I am also actually trying to justify my purchase. :(

Hopefully my boy Seth (the programmer) is smiling out there in Japan.

I'm looking forward to guitar hero on the DS. Now let's just hope that the perefrial works on a ds phat as well as on a lite. I don't want to be shut out from playing a good game...

Based on Guitar Hero 3 and Guitar Hero Mobile, I don't think you'll be missing out on a good game.

Very fitting picture there Joystiq.
ScottyGEE @ May 28th 2008 8:25PM
The tits aren't saggy and dried up enough for it to be truly fitting though...

@Scotty
That's because GH hasn't reached Tony Hawk status where people actually stop buying the games. Until that happens the milking will continue
giantenemycrab @ May 28th 2008 8:25PM
what, seriously?

Fix the Hummingbird Ad Joystiq so it displays properly and does not hang when skip commercial is clicked.
Everybody copy and paste this comment in every article
until Joystiq at least aknowledges the problem and that its being fixed
Jhongerkong @ May 28th 2008 8:45PM
Can someone please explain this freaking hummingbird issue?

Everytime you press a link, or the reply button, the screen turns black and this ad is displayed. And when the ad is showing, theres a button that says: Skip Commercial, but when you press it, it doesnt work, and you have to refresh the webpage, and sometimes when you refresh, the same ad is displayed. It's very annoying.

Firefox + Adblock Plus + Filterset.G Updater = No problems.
Switch to Firefox today!
Jhongerkong @ May 28th 2008 9:18PM
Damn, do I feel for you guys. While Adblock FTW, I think a big WTH is in order here.

Oh and I cant believe ANY mobile game sells anything at all. EVERY mobile game is so bad, I would rather do nothing then play them. I can download them free to my phone, and I still refuse to paly them.
Even that 1 zelda game that guy made, which is probably the best mobile phone game to date, still was so boring I would rather not play it and look at a wall while I wait. Lets leave portable gaming to the DS and PSP

This is udderly ridiculous.
Jhongerkong @ May 28th 2008 9:16PM
The Guitar Hero cow told me that it has some seriously sore nipples lately.
NvM @ May 28th 2008 9:36PM
ahem
its technically just called Guitar Hero Mobile
just sayin
Joe H @ May 28th 2008 9:48PM
I bought it for Windows Mobile. Sure, its nothing like actual Guitar Hero, but its a fun timewasting game for when you've got two or three minutes to kill.
Phillip @ May 28th 2008 9:59PM
Why?

Cellphone gaming is the future: the graphics already surpass the DS'.
burgerbat @ May 29th 2008 2:48AM
Bought this game, and it's mostly crap. I mean, even the DS is getting four fret buttons, and this only has three. Plus, the DLC feature is broken on most phones due to crappy programming. Can't get it to work on my Blackberry 8700c. Tech support assures me they're on the issue but I've heard lots of reports of this happening to others. I should know better, but hey, it's mobile GH. I'm a sucker. I even bought the LCD game. Now Phase, that's a true game. Fun stuff.
