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.
The Les Paul guitar(http://www.gibsondoubleneck.com/guitar-manufacturers/)
is a nice looking guitar and they translated into a very nice looking controller.
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. 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. 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. 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. The whammy bar is longer than the wired controllers but
still felt nice and gave me no trouble. 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.
