Guitar Hero II Wireless Controller

[bleemus]

Has anyone played with the white wireless controller yet?

I got one for Christmas, it seems very responsive, and has a decent range.  The fret buttons are a little more "spongey" and easier to push down.  The strum button doesn't click nearly as loud as the GHII red controller, either.  So both of those things are nice too.  The wammy bar isn't as sensitive when you look at it in comparison to the wired, but you can still get as much star power during notes as you can with the wired controller.

Has anyone else tried it?

I haven't had a chance to try it yet.  I'd love to pick one up but I already have two guitars and I plan on picking up GH2 when it comes out for the 360 next year.  Unfortunately, with MS's stinginess regarding third party wireless products, it doesn't look like the 360 version will have a wireless guitar available.

Im sure the company being sued by redoctance will come through with one for the 360.

Hows the battery life on it?

I haven't used it a ton... probably only a few hours total.  We'll see once I get some more hours on it.

I wouldn't really know either, but I get it's better than just a few hours. It's not doing anything more than a regular controller does, and regular controllers can get some great battery life.

that sounds about right.

when i got my friend hooked on GH, he went ahead and picked up two of those.  he really liked them.  only prob...he bought two of those, and there would be interference when both of them were being used in head to head.  one person would use star power and it would do star power for the other person too.  that was the only thing negative that my friend said about it.

Isn't that the normal way star power works in GH2?  Both players have to use it at the same time.

Well there's 2-player co-op and 2-player versus.  You don't want that happening in versus mode.

I guess it is good that I use the wired along with the wireless.  Although, we usually play co-op, having only one person to initialte star power might actually be a good thing!

I have 2 different brands of wireless, and they seem to work nicely together.

That'd be a real bummer otherwise, because I can't stand cables. I used firmly believe that extension cables were better than batteries, but yeah... I am a wireless snob now.
