Customer Reviews
A love affair that didn't last...
I love Rock Band (RB) and play it with my friends often. We're very happy with MadCatz wireless 2-strum bass, but haven't found a nice upgrade replacement for the guitar. With an entry price of $200 and no chance to test it out in a store (and no reviews), I took a chance & pulled the trigger on this beaut.
First, it's a gorgeous, balanced and a substantial piece of equipment. I was wary not to dent the walls or my friends while walking around with it. The strum bar is perfect! (no noise, quick spring-back) I also love the hidden and easy location of hitting the back button with your strum hand (something RB guitars have never done well), as well as the hidden start button below the whammy bar. It's not full-size, but is substantially larger than the regular plastic guitars that come with Guitar Hero (GH). In fact, I fell in love with everything about this guitar... except the actual fret buttons.
The fret buttons are the exact same size as those that come on standard GH guitars, but they're further up, so your fingers are at more of an angle to hit them. The wood fret board is much wider/larger than the plastic versions, so it's also much harder to reach around to connect with the actual buttons. This is where RB buttons are much easer to hit, though I personally prefer the protruding GH buttons in general, for this piece, they don't work. In fact, several times, without removing my finger from the buttons, it would not register a chord depending on which part of the button was being pressed. Instead of my scores getting better over time, they were always lower. It may be something others can learn to adapt to, but it was a deal-breaker for me (after 7 hours experience) and I have to send it back. My friends had the same problem - we all loved the look, feel, strum & design of this guitar, but the fret buttons failed us.
So, what could have been so wonderful (a 5-star love affair), is being sent back (down to 3-stars). I'll patiently wait for the next upgrade installment (deep purple color, please!) and continue to play on my multitude of puny plastic toy guitars until then.
[For background as we all have personal preferences, my current favorite controller is the GH-3 guitar (got it with Aerosmith). The RB standard controllers are good for bass, but their strum bar & back button locations don't compare. I played GH 5 & RB Beatles while testing this controller.]
It's very orange!
That was my first thought upon unboxing Logitech's Xbox 360 Wireless Guitar Controller. The second thing I noted, as I lifted it out, was that it is very heavy. This is no cheap plastic toy! This is a solid, well-constructed, replica guitar. And the quality shows.
Inside the box, the guitar is well protected for shipping with bubble wrap and cardboard spacers. Of note is the fact that this is a one piece unit. This completely eliminates the connectivity issues between the neck and body, as sometimes seen in guitar controllers that come boxed as two pieces. The guitar measures 33.75 inches from tip to base, with a slightly larger body than my Guitar Hero World Tour guitar, which measures only 31.25 inches in length (see the photo I posted with this review). This extra length pushes the fret buttons up a little bit, but I did not find this to be an issue. I store my guitars on a stand, but if you use a guitar bag or case, be aware that it might not fit. Rounding out the included accessories are a user manual, a quality strap, some batteries to get you up and playing fast, and an adapter for older style Xbox 360 headsets.
IMPRESSIONS
The guitar itself is modeled after Guitar Hero guitars, with the raised fret buttons and the neck slider feature. Keep this in mind if you are someone who prefers the look of the Rock Band guitars, with their in-line fret buttons. The chrome detailing, including tuning pegs and bridge, and use of real screws in the white pick guard lends an authentic look, effectively disguising the Start (bridge) and Star Power buttons (pickups) while keeping them functional. There is even an authentic looking nut between the headstock and the neck. The Star Power button sits right under the ball of your hand, so it's easy to press down on while strumming (you can also still rock Star Power with a neck tilt). The strum bar is the best I have ever seen on a guitar controller. It has exactly the right tactile feel, and is responsive yet quiet. One of my fret buttons makes a bit of a clickety-clack when I hit it, but I am hoping this goes away as it wears in. Overall, this is a quiet guitar, allowing for more enjoyment of the music.
COMPATIBILITY
I have tested this guitar with the following Xbox 360 games that I own:
* Band Hero Demo (from Xbox Live): Yes
* Guitar Hero Van Halen: Yes
* Guitar Hero 5: Yes
* Guitar Hero World Tour: Yes
* Guitar Hero III: Yes
* Guitar Hero II: Yes
* Rock Band The Beatles: Yes
* Rock Band 2: Yes
* Rock Band: Yes
CONCLUSION
This is a quality guitar controller that I would recommend to any serious gamer who wants to add authenticity to their music games. It is a joy to play.
Almost a five
If you're a fan of virtual musician / band video games and you're using the original plastic guitar you'll love this thing. The extra weight they've added makes it much easier to play, especially when you're standing up. It makes a big difference to hold something that is heavy enough to stay in place while you play. The strum bar is quiet and bounces back very well (better than the original) and the fret buttons are much more quiet. They are not silent, but it's an improvement.
A few comments have been made about the fret buttons being a bit difficult to reach. In my opinion, while they are harder to find with your fingers at first, it makes it a bit more realistic. Finding the right strings on a real guitar takes a ton of practice, so if the idea is to make the game more realistic, then they've succeeded. If you have smaller hands, however, I can see how this would be a challenge.
Four starts because it's not quite as amazing as they describe it and for nearly two hundred dollars, it should be freakin' amazing. Rock on people.
Price: $89.95
