The Guitar Hero III Mobile is a chartbuster in the gaming scenario in the US. Hands-On Mobile, Inc. announced that the mobile game was a bestseller in the US on Verizon Wireless’ mobiles in the first quarter of 2008.
A record of 1 million downloads including monthly subscriptions has been reported across all wireless service providers although initially the mobile was exclusively launched on Verizon Wireless’ phones. Guitar Hero III Mobile has been reported to be one of the highest and fastest selling games.
“Verizon Wireless customers have shown a tremendous appetite for mobile games – the category is an important part of our strategy to increase data revenue, and marquee titles such as Guitar Hero III help create demand and engage our customers in mobile gameplay,” said Ryan Hughes, vice president of digital media programming for Verizon.
An amazing 2,50,000 songs are played everyday by the game subscribers and the most popular songs happen to be ‘Slow Ride’ (re-record), ‘Mississippi Queen’ (re-record) and ‘Black Magic Woman’ (re-record).
“Fans of the Guitar Hero console games have been very impressed with the title’s translation onto BREW handsets,” said David White, chief executive officer of Hands-On Mobile. “Guitar Hero III Mobile has opened the eyes of a whole new group of consumers to the world of mobile games.”
