Very impressed with item and the seller. Came exactly how it said. No complaints at all.
Don’t get me wrong..I really like this controller. Unfortunately though the strum bar is going bad after less than a year of very moderate play. Looking online I see that I am not alone. I found fixes that require sodering in new sensors, which I will probably give a try. Oh well, hope yours lasts longer than mine!
I bought this as a second guitar so my fiancee and I could play together. After about a week it started acting up and one of the slider buttons was playing itself occasionally. If I disabled the slider in the game the problem went away. I contacted Red Octane about the problem. I had to pay to ship just the neck to them, but then they shipped me a full new guitar (now I have a spare body just in case). Other than that little problem (which Red Octane handled very well) it’s great. No different than the one I got with the game.
I already have the guitar hero III guitar and this is new guitar is better with all the modifications the star power close to the palm of the hand the slide bar is a little bit difficult to play but you will enjoy this once you get used to…..the super shipping delivery fast and no problems
I originally purchased this guitar as part of the band kit, but it’s the same instrument. The Wii version requires a Wiimote for each guitar.
The World Tour guitar is the best guitar yet for Guitar Hero, at least compared to the other official Guitar Hero guitars. It’s larger, and it looks and feels less like a toy. The buttons are responsive, and the strum bar is larger and quieter.
The whammy bar is longer, which in my opinion is not necessarily better. Plus, the bar tends to rotate down while I’m playing. The star power button is a waste. Is there anyone out there who uses this button instead of tilting the guitar upwards?
The touch pad is more difficult than using just the buttons and doesn’t seem to add to the playing experience. Nobody uses the touch pad when we play, and I’ve written it off as technology for technology’s sake. Luckily, it’s not required, and you can play using just the buttons and the strum bar.
Overall, this is a good, reliable guitar and a significant improvement over the Guitar Hero III model.
