 Two is Better than One! April 23, 2008
I wasn't real sure if having a second guitar would be worth it, but it's great. Now both my daughter and I can play at the same time, either cooperatively (to beat the game and work our way up), or in "face off" mode, against each other. If we needed to we could actually be at different levels in "face off" (e.g. she in Hard, me in Medium). Definitely worth the purchase--in cooperative mode, one person takes bass, the other takes lead guitar (although there are still 5 "strings" on the bass guitar). I've found that the Wii remote chews up batteries--I pull them out when not playing, and they seem to last longer.
great guitar April 21, 2008
The product is wonderful. GUitar hero is my favorite game and my family plays it for hours at a time. The game is quite addicting. I do wish that that were more songs available on game, however I will get new Aerosmith version in June.
Exactly what I'd hoped for April 20, 2008
The same exact controller that comes bundled with the game, including the strap, stickers, etc... Great quality.
 Glad it came down a notch... March 31, 2008

For those that don't know, this was originally listed (on other sites) at $69.99. With the Nyko model at $59.99 (or was it 49.99)? So while the price point is still pretty high, I suppose it could be worse.
Otherwise, it's the same guitar packed-in with the game. And it's pretty darn nice.
Though, take note. The features currently showing on amazon.com are:
* Gaming Guitar
* Wireless Features include 2.4Ghz Technology
* Includes Guitar Strap, Stickers
* 2 AA Batteries Required
* Also Features Wireless
Which _definitely_ borders on false advertising. This guitar does _not_ feature 2.4GHz technology; the Wii remote that you insert into it (and which is _not_ included, obviously) does. And I'm not sure what "also features wireless" means, unless it's an attempt to _really_ drill that false claim home (the guitar itself communicates in a 100% wired fashion with your Wii remote). And obviously, because it contains no transmitter and is powered off the Wii remote it doesn't require 2 AA batteries either...the Wii remote does.
I'm not positive, but I'm _pretty_ sure advertising the features of an item that isn't included is false advertising...and it's _definitely_ shady. It's about the same as advertising that an iPod case holds 80GB of music. Or maybe that an iPod charger does.
For Multiplayer Guitar Hero Fun March 31, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Seeing as there is no alternative product, other than maybe a few cheaper knock-off guitars, this is your best way to go if you want to have some multiplayer Guitar Hero fun on your Wii.
It's the exact same guitar as the one packaged with the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Bundle.
If you are debating on saving a few dollars to get a "knockoff version" such as the Nyko one, don't bother. I think you would be much better off investing a few more dollars to get the trustworthy guitar that was made by the company that is partnered with the Guitar Hero software developers.
Unfortunately, the price point is a bit on the expensive side, but it is cheaper here than anywhere else I've seen it.
So, if you are looking to play Guitar Hero on your Wii with a 2nd player guitar, look no further. This is the product we have all been awaiting for the past 5 months since Guitar Hero III's release back in November 2007. Have fun rocking out!
