Game developer Hands-On Mobile announced today that there have been “nearly 1 million downloads” of Guitar Hero III Mobile (including monthly subscriptions and across all providers) since the game’s December 2007 release. It was initially released as a Verizon Wireless exclusive and opened to more providers and Blackberry devices.

According to the company’s press release, more than 250,000 songs are played each day in GH3M with the most played songs being “Slow Ride,” “Mississippi Queen” and “Black Magic Woman.”

To play the game, you press number keys in sync with colored, scrolling notes, similar to the console game except without the cool guitar-shaped controllers. GH3M is available for Get It Now-capable devices at $4.49 per month or $11.99 for a full purchase and, depending on your service, may incur provider fees for airtime or storage.

The game’s set list currently includes 15 songs (from the console releases) and three additional songs will be added each month. The June 1, 2008, Song Pack will include “Stricken,” “Talk Dirty To Me” and “Rock And Roll All Nite” with the latter two songs being re-records. The company promises more than 50 songs will be available by the end of 2008.
