Could be a little less expensive. Half the price of the game...but does what it's made for. Miss the original 5 buttons.

Purchased this bad boy w/reward points. Wasn't thinking on initiat purchase of BH Live and didn't get the two guitar bundle. So, wasn't looking to get jammed on the unbundled buy. Guitar functions as advertised.

Great changes to the game. The guitars are easy to connect and easy to use as the controllers for the PS4. They don't take up much space and are easy to wipe down.

The guitar doesn't seem to sync very well with the game. Sometimes it misses notes that It shouldn't.

This game brings playing the guitar to almost real time. It's complicated to navigate but the feel of playing has just gotten way better.

Awkward layout compared to the original, but you get used to it quickly. The real issue is trying to connect two guitar controllers to the PS4. It literally takes me like 5 minutes of trial and error each time. You kind of have to trick it into letting you do 2 player.
The game is fine but very limited compared to prior versions. The GH Live feature is nice though.

Love the new format of buttons with two rows. Helps model motions that you would use in a real guitar.

I bought the game with a controller and this extra one. One had sticky buttons. I exchanged it and the new one is just like the first. Overall, the controller feels pretty good. Comparable to the older games in quality I would say - maybe ever so slightly better.

Son had always wanted a Guitar Hero. This is not a bad deal. He had the one guitar that came with the disk. He wanted to be able to play with his sister, so I bought this one. Fun watching them rock together.

The first one was Broken

The first guitar I purchased was broken (The strum did not work). I have exchanged for a new one and it works fine. The only complaint I have is that the supplied guitar strap is a bit too short (I am 5'10") so the guitar sits just a bit too high on my body even with the strap at its longest.

As a fan of the original Guitar Hero and DJ Hero I had to buy Guitar Hero Live. The game is great, but nothing is better than shredding with our against a friend. This guitar is exactly like the one that came with the game and these guitars are the better than any that comes with the other music games.

If you liked playing the older ones this one is a tad harder to get used to, but after you do it's great fun.

I've only had this game for about a month and one of the buttons on the guitar stopped working. Going to contact Activision and try and get this fixed...but this shouldn't be happening right out the box...

As good as the controller that comes with the game (I'm pretty sure it is). Makes less fighting in the house when extra Controllers are possible. Great in home mulitiplay!
