Not quite cheap but was the cheapest alternative at the timeMay 31, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Guitar Hero III for the Wii is a lot of fun. The qualm most people would have with it (aside from mono-sound and lack of downloadable content with the Wii version) is the fact that getting an extra guitar for the game (as of writing this interview) is just as much (if not more) than buying a new Wii game. What is the justification for paying $40 or so dollars for a guitar that's a plastic shell and buttons without any electronics and houses the Wiimote, which does most of the work?
Anyways, Red Octane's first party offering of an extra (official) guitar is around $69.99 (plus or minus $10 or so). This Nyko Frontman alternative I bought through Amazon Marketplace was $43 something (and then became $53 after adding shipping). Obviously I went for the cheaper one, and I'm not disappointed. The guitar works great, feels a bit lighter than the official Red Octane version, and the keys feel a bit softer. I got a yellow one and it comes with a black faceplate. I think there's another version where you can get a white one that comes with a pink detachable faceplate.
All in all, guitar works great, and is a great alternative. I just feel, in general, that guitars for guitar hero should have been cheaper when considering them for what they really are and offer.
PS - I guess some extra value on extra guitars like these is in the form of whether it works for Rock Band when it comes out for the Wii. I'm assuming that it will, but don't quote me...
