Video Game Reviews of Wii Rock Band Wireless Guitar

Customer Review: Decent
Summary: 3 Stars

I love Rock Band. The peripherals are not quite as nice. They work fine but really do wear out relatively quickly. I have played the game using my own guitar and my nephew's guitar. His has more problems than mine because he is only 7 and he and his friends are rough on it. Mine took a beating from my older nephew, but still works decently. His whammy bar and overdrive sensor eventually quit working and the fret buttons got "sticky" somehow, hard to press. My strum bar doesn't work as well, and that's my only real problem so far. His guitar is only 7 months old and mine is 5 months old.

Pros:
1) I love the second set of frets. My hand is too small to comfortably use the large ones and I really like that during intense solos I can just tap the frets and not need to strum.
2) I love that the strum bar does not click (unlike on Guitar Hero). Some people complain that they don't know if the strum registers without the click, but to me it feels more realistic and you clearly know if it registered or not by looking at the screen. =)
3) I like that it is wireless and does not need a Wiimote inserted into it.
4) Lifelike size and look; it's much more realistic than the Guitar Hero one and I like its appearance.

Cons:
1) The fret buttons are __way too loud__ when you press them. It really detracts from playing.
2) The strum bar does not hold up well! My oldest nephew has only used my guitar a few times but he did some damage to the strum bar by strumming too hard. Whatever is inside to register the strum must have gotten damaged or worn off, because the down strum does not register nearly as well as the up strum. It caused me to miss significant amount of notes until I'd adjusted to strumming harder myself, which must only exacerbate the problem...
3) Sometimes the connection between the guitar and the dongle just stops working. And not as a result of inactivity; it just seems like there are a few bugs there. But it generally works just great for me.

Overall, I really just wish the fret buttons were A LOT quieter and the strum bar a lot sturdier. I am now hesitant to let my nephews use my guitar because it really is a fragile piece of a equipment and I cannot afford a new one.
