 Clicky Strum Bar! May 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Coming from GH this guitar works much better than the Strat for me. The clicky strum bar helps and I now can hit a string of 16th notes. My scores have improved tremendously.
The only con is that the signal seems to interfere with my Pioneer SE-DIR 800C headphones. I lose the sound and only get clicks if I try to use them while playing.
Great second guitar! May 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
We started playing Rock Band at Christmas, and have been waiting anxiously for a stand-alone guitar to become available for it, so that we could have a four-player band, or play guitar/bass together.
We also play Guitar Hero 3, and this guitar (to me) is more like the GH3 guitar than the Rock Band guitar. I actually prefer this guitar when playing Rock Band, as I find it and the GH3 guitar easier to play. I have noticed that my scores are SO much better now on Rock Band, now that I am playing this guitar.
I read another review that mentioned the "clicking" sound, when you strum with this guitar - this is the same as the GH3 guitar - and if you can hear it, you don't have the music loud enough. :)
The guitar is wireless, and it's compatible with GH3 and RB. You are going to love playing RB with four players!
PS3 FrontMan Wireless guitar May 17, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you're looking for a second guitar to play with Rock Band or Guitar Hero 3, this one is two for the price of one. Its actually more durable than the guitar that came with Rock Band and it switches easily between the two games. The only downside is that it doesn't have the lower buttons like the Rock Band guitar, but since I never used them anyway that wasn't a big deal. The other nice thing is that you don't have to get used to the differences in sensitivity between the original Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3 guitars - and if you're playing on expert mode, or even hard mode, that can make a big difference. Highly recommended.
Great Guitar with a few quirks May 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Overall this is a good guitar as a replacement to the strat, especially if you want the bi-directional, D-pad type strummer. Some issues:
1) Synching the Nyko guitar takes a bit of work the first time around. I had to constantly unplug and plug in the dongle and remove the betteries from the guitar to finally get them to synch. I did follow the instructions with little success.
2) The guitar does randomly lock up and no longer send any signals. The only way to reset the controller is to remove the batteries. I keep my PS3 controller handy to help pause if this happens in the middle of a song.
3) The frets take a bit to get used to. They are move recessed in, and smaller, making for faster sliding between, but sometimes you simply lose where you are, as the divot on the yellow fret is very small.
4) The balance is weird and the guitar tends to hand neck down rather than body down.
Overall though, my game play has improved and I would take this over the strat.
 PS3 Frontman Wireless Guitar-what a rip-off May 7, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
When compared to the overall appearance of the Rockband wireless guitar, this thing looks like a cheaply-made piece of crap. It is a shame that they would charge just as much for it. Another problem that I had personally is that the neck of the guitar is fatter, therefore harder to get my small hands around. While the entire fret is the button on the Rockband guitar, the Frontman only has a button in the middle of the "fret" that you have to hit. Overall, I am very dissapointed with this guitar, HOWEVER...it stums better than the Rockband guitar, just like a Guitar Hero guitar (even makes the clicking noise)...for this reason...my boyfriend says we have to keep the damn thing.
