Activision have today announced that Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will ship to European stores on November 23rd, along with it's wireless Gibson Les Paul guitar controllers. Though I'm not sure if that comes for PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 owners, looks like it might.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is the third instalment of the worldwide smash series of Guitar Hero games, taking the franchise to a new level. Featuring a staggering selection of global smash hit master tracks from the likes of Sex Pistols, Muse, Kaiser Chiefs, Killers, Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden and Red Hot Chili Peppers, among many, many others, it is the game which will redefine music-based videogames.

In addition, the game features original compositions from legendary guitarists Slash and Tom Morello, both of whom are featured as boss characters in the game. An all-new multiplayer battle mode allows spectacular duelling alongside the game’s established co-operative and face-off scenarios.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock comes complete with all-new replica Gibson Les Paul guitar controllers (Kramer Pacer for PlayStation 2), complete with redesigned fret buttons and a removable, customisable faceplate. Most importantly, these guitars are now wireless, freeing players from the restrictions of trailing leads. Now, the living room really is a stage. (Note: previous Guitar Hero controllers will still work with their respective consoles).

"This is the biggest Guitar Hero release yet," says Zach Fountain, General Manager, RedOctane Europe. "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is the first time the franchise has released simultaneously across multiple formats, so we’re delighted to be able to confirm a single street date for all home consoles. The game introduces a host of innovations on each format – no matter what your console of choice, November 23rd will be the day your world gets well and truly rocked."
