Product reviews: Guitar Hero Wireless "Les Paul" controller

According to The Today Show, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is one of the most sought-after Christmas gifts this year.

Togo, Togo (prHWY.com) December 29, 2012 - According to The Today Show, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is one of the most sought-after Christmas gifts this year. After nabbing a copy for myself, I picked up a wireless Les Paul controller. I'll cover all the aspects I liked and didn't like throughout the review and summarize my findings at the end along with a score of 1-10, 10 being the highest.

Let me start with the looks of the controller. The Les Paul guitar（http://www.gibsondoubleneck.com/guitar-manufacturers/） is a nice looking guitar and they translated into a very nice looking controller. It has the right scale to it so nothing looks awkwardly big or small in comparison. The faceplate that came with mine is black with a white pinstripe outline the outside. The frets on the neck are smaller and rounded, but they feel much nicer. The buttons themselves are black with the corresponding colors on the edges and sides. The start and back buttons have a rounded knob look to them and add to the realism of the controller. Mine also came with 2 sheets of stickers I could place on my guitar, including stickers for my fret buttons. I thought that was a nice touch. There's also a simple black strap that comes with it. It does the trick. Overall, no complaints there.

The features of this controller are what most excites me. First off, the neck is removable for easy storage and for specialty necks. I have my fingers crossed for a double neck guitar. Also, the faceplate is removable which allows you to get other faceplates and further customize your controller, making it uniquely yours. There's also two places to attach the strap to the top of the controller now, so you can choose what's comfortable for you. Another plus is it only takes 2 AA batteries and lasts a long time.

Now for the feel of the controller. I immediately noticed the fret buttons were very smooth and the line protruding out of the yellow button was toned down to spare your ring finger. The buttons were nice and smooth allowing for greater speed and comfort. The guitar itself is pretty light so it's not uncomfortable to play standing up or for long periods of time. Another nice change is the relocation of the Xbox button. Its now in the top corner of the guitar so you won't accidentally hit it. The start and back buttons are also enlarged so you don't miss a not when you pause it or engage star power. The whammy bar is longer than the wired controllers but still felt nice and gave me no trouble. Everything worked like it should have and I was very pleased.

Overall, the controller looks great, has amazing features and feels just right. I would recommend this to any Guitar Hero gamer and it would make a great Christmas present.
