4 Stars Great fun for the whole family
We have 4 boys, so the second guitar was a must have. All the kids (even our 4 year old) enjoy getting into the act.
5 Stars Rock Band 2 guitar vs. Rock Band guitar
We bought the Wii Rock Band. It came with drum set (with el cheapo wooden drum sticks for the decent and functional, cymbal-less drum set) and the Rock Band 1 black and white, small plastic guitar.
Then we got the Rock Band 2 guitar.
Both Rock Band 1 and 2 guitars work well, though the Rock Band 1 guitar got tired of me strumming from low2up and the strum bar would only work up2low.
The RB2 guitar is much prettier with the fake wood grain paneling. The RB2 guitar is nice in giving a small feedback ‘click’ when pressing on the different colored tone bars on the neck of the guitar.
I use both guitars and have come to have no real preference however. As an adult RB1 and RB2 are about the only Wii games I will play, having little liking for the Wii controllers (I much prefer the Nintendo GameCube type controllers).
I only wish more songs were available, more easily for RB1 and RB2.
And that an adult sized RB1/2 wireless guitar was available from Nintendo. From Nintendo as I’ve found in general to avoid 3rd party controllers, particularly the ones that sell for less than the Nintendo units.
5 Stars Does what I wanted
I purchased this to add a second guitar to my RB2 kit and ‘complete my band’. It meets my expectations perfectly. Syncs fine, easy to play, looks good, sturdy and reactive.
I have had it for 4 months and not noticed any problems with accidental overdrive or failure to go into overdrive (with the exception of human error!). The feel is slightly different to the standard guitar but just different, rather than better or worse.
If you need a second guitar, it’s a great product. If you’re looking for an ‘upgrade’, I wouldn’t bother.
1 Star Buy the additional warranty.
This is a great product, but it did not last me much longer than the 60 day warranty. Judging by the sheer volume of posts in the support forum, this did not last many other people much longer than 60 days either. The guitar no longer syncs with the Wii. It is dead and has no blinking lights.
5 Stars Works great! Comparable to my RB1 guitar
I purchased this to have a second guitar for use with Beatles Rock Band and it works great. The auto sync feature worked great for me. Much easier to do than manual. Otherwise this functions exactly like my Rock Band 1 guitar that I’ve been using. Performs exactly as expected. I recommend it.
