Initially the game offers over 70 songs, most of which are master tracks. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions feature the ability to download additional songs. Avatars of the musicians Tom Morello (of the bands Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave) and Slash (of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver) appear in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions also include Bret Michaels (of Poison). Critics were generally favorable towards the game, but reviewers noted a difference in the game’s style compared to previous installments, associating it with the change in developer between this game and the last. According to Activision, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is the best-selling video game of 2007, both in terms of units sold and revenue earned. The company also claims that the game is the first single video game to exceed one billion dollars in sales.

I spelet finns det tre bossar som spelaren måste besegra för att avancera: Slash (Velvet Revolvers gitarrist, har även vart gitarrist i Guns N’ Roses), Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machines & Audioslaves gitarrist) och Lou (djävulen). Bret Michaels (från Poison) är också med i spelet, dock som sångare till vissa låtar.
