Which studio developed Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock?

The story behind the answer

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock was developed by Neversoft.

Neversoft took over the series after Activision acquired RedOctane in 2006 and MTV acquired Harmonix, the studio behind the earlier Guitar Hero games. The change gave the Tony Hawk developer responsibility for the franchise’s first major post-Harmonix installment.

The game launched in 2007 for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360, with later Windows and Mac versions. Vicarious Visions and Budcat Creations were involved with specific ports, which can cause confusion, but Neversoft was the primary developer of the game itself.

Guitar Hero III also marked several series milestones, including online multiplayer on selected platforms and appearances by real musicians such as Slash and Tom Morello. Neversoft continued developing multiple later Guitar Hero titles.
