Likewise, the extreme difficulty of some of the game's more severe songs might end up turning off newer players. If there are any chinks in the armor of this sequel, it's that some of the newer mode additions and a few odd design decisions do more to get in the way of the fun than anything else. The core gameplay that fans love hasn't changed outside of some basic tweaks, and the long and varied tracklist is the best of any game in the series to date.

It is unknown why this is the case, though it may have been due to the developer's dissatisfaction with how his downgraded model looked. He was cut from the PlayStation 2 and Wii versions, but in the laziest way possible: although every mechanic to put him on the stage is there, his model and textures were replaced with a duplicate of the default male singer's.
In the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of the game, Poison singer Bret Michaels acts as the singer on the songs "Talk Dirty to Me" and "Go That Far". Additionally, the logo for the game differs slightly from the final version, with the "III" being taller than in the final and having a point on the side that is also not in the final.
