International tracks for Guitar Hero III revealed

Publisher Activision has unveiled the full International track listing for the upcoming music simulation title, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

Announced at the Leipzig Games Convention today, the company confirmed that the following songs have been added to the already substantial line-up:

-“Minus Celsius” by Backyard Babies
-“Hier Kommt Alex” by Die Toten Hosen
-“In the Belly of a Shark” by Gallows
-“I’m in the Band” by The Hellacopters

Guitar Hero III pays tribute to rock legends including Guns ‘N Roses guitarist Slash, who features as a boss character in the game and can also be unlocked as a playable artist. Gameplay is largely derived from that of the original Guitar Hero and its sequel, though Legends of Rock also introduces a brand new offering in the form of Battle Mode. Here, players compete against each other by playing a song and racking up Star Power sequences allowing them to launch attacks against their opponent.

The PlayStation 2 version features an exclusive wireless guitar based on the Kramer model, while next-generation console versions will be based on the infamous Gibson Les Paul.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is scheduled for release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and PlayStation 2 this fall.
