WIRELESS GUITAR CONTROLLER-XBOXWRLS360
| Love the 'feel' don't like the frets or the strum - Do not buy | 2010-07-17 | 3 / 5 |
| I play Rock Band exclusively - but I prefer the GH guitars. I've been playing RB since 2007 and about every 4 months or so, I'd replace a GH guitar controller as they wear out and variety of problems occur. My thought in getting this Logitech controller was that 'you get what you pay for' and I wanted to get something that would last a bit longer than 4 months.
The guitar arrived yesterday, I popped open the package and started up RB. Worked great. I've read other reviews where people are noticing the fret buttons are spaced further apart than others - I /guess/ I can agree to that, but its hardly noticeable in my opinion. I really do like the placement of the aux buttons (back & start)... very similar Overdrive button placement to what the GH World Tour controller had. Wammy feels good thus far.
After about 2 hrs of playing last night, I started to notice issues with the strum bar. Downstrums were not consistent; upstrums were fine. After 3 hrs of playing, I was noticing that the fret buttons started to become troublesome; even though I was holding down the frets, minor adjustments (rolling your fingers on the fret) would cause the fret to stop registering and I'd lose my note in the game. After 4 hrs, I started to notice further problems with the strum; the irksome 'double-strum' syndrome as well as additional problems with downstrumming.
So this morning I picked up the guitar (still love the weight & heft of it) and thought perhaps I was just having a bad night. Now the strum is bad in both directions and the fret buttons only register 75% of the time. I will admit this feels like a very well made product... but its like a Jaguar; looks real pretty but the key pieces of functionality ain't there. (sorry to all you who love Jags)
Anyway, this will go into my collection of plastic guitars and I'll probably just spend more money on something else in the future. My advice to anyone CONSIDERING purchasing this item (I picked it up for $87 and free shipping) is focus on the MadCatz products instead. Logitech apparently (see other reviews) has this product at 'end of life' so if you experience the same problems as I have, you'll be SOL. (outta luck).
Love the weight, not happy with the frets or strum. |
| worth it ($90) and why | 2010-06-16 | 5 / 5 |
| Edit: This review looks baaad when they compress it like this! Sorry!
This review is more like a comparison of the four types of guitars I've used for guitar hero/rock band.
Guitar types: Original Guitar Hero SG (PS2); Red Rock Guitar (PS2); Rockband Strat (PS3); Logitech Orange!(X360)
Guitar | Button Speed | Quality | Strum Bar/Click | Compatibility | Overall
Original SG (B) (B+) (A+/Yes!) (A+ (All PS2)) (A-)
\\
Red Rock Guitar (A+ (Buttery)) (C-) (A+/Yes!) (D- (GH1)) (B)
\\
Rockband Strat (C (Too big)) (B+) (B-/No!) (B (Rockbands)) (B-)
\\
Logitech Orange! (A- (Bit further apart)) (A+++!+) (A+/Yes! (softer)) (A+ (Rockbands, GHs)) (A++)
This logitech guitar is superbly made. It feels very much like a real guitar.
If you can spare the 90 dollars, then get this! The weight of it makes it stay in place while you play.
The extra space between the buttons is not bad at all. I hardly noticed when I started playing.
Also, I love the orange color that it comes in.
A side note; the Red Rock Guitar (sold back in the day by DDR Game), in terms of pure performance
in game, is by far the best. The buttery smooth buttons make playing so much easier. Unfortunately,
the incompatibility with most games and poooor make quality make it a tough purchase.
However, if you need that extra boost in your game for GH1, it WILL make a difference (at least for me).
Also I hate the Rockband Strat as you can tell from it getting a lower score than the Red Rock.

| The Controller that the arcade machines have..... | 2010-06-01 | 5 / 5 |
| | I just bought this guitar to replace my Rock Band 2 strat, which died from over use. The first thing I noticed is the weight. It's nice and heavy like the guitars that are on the Guitar hero, and guitar freaks arcade cabs. Then I played the guitar. I was blown away. The strummer is the best I have played on a home unit guitar. The buttons are standard guitar hero, but they are spaced a little wider, which if you play the controller correctly, should not be a problem. Just position your hand where it is most comfortable. The whammy bar is nice. The back button as a pick-up was a nice addition, but I still tilt my guitars for specials, and this one works just right. All and all, this guitar is worth the money and should not disappoint, unless you think just buying a different controller will make you better. With some practice, this is the only guitar I will use on the XBOX360. Just buy it.... I waited and missed out on some good playing. Glad I got it now... It rocks!!! |

| | I must say it is a good tool to help me in GuitarHero the invincible, good texture, with a perfect touch, it is impeccable, I believe will fall in love with it used |

| | This is a great controller and much more sturdy than any of the packaged controllers I have tried. I would have preferred a different color than orange, but besides that the controller is exactly what I was looking for in a guitar hero controller. In my opinion this is very much worth the $100 I paid for it, not sure if it would be worth the $200 MSRP. |
