GREAT GUITARJanuary 8, 2009 JC(Ashland City, Tn United States) Everybody loves this guitar. It has become the family favorite. It is hands down the coolest looking guitar we have(six total).
KISS axe controller -awesome!!January 7, 2009 Erik Cram(California) It's the best guitar hero controller I've ever used. the button is conveniently where my hand can hit it for star power. Smooth action, and definitely the coolest looking guitar of all time!!
Love it! Love it! Love it!December 31, 2008 Camdog916 Well I got mine today and I love it. I have been playing with it for about 2 hours. The only problem I have with it is where the strap connects on the left side. It is in a horrible spot. The placed you connect the strap on the left side is on top of the guitar instead of on the side like it is on RB guitars which mean the strap comes off allot.
It does take some getting use to after playing with a RB guitar for the last year. It plays more like a GH guitar does which I like better then the RB guitar. It is bigger then the GH 3 I have. It is as big as the RB 2 guitar length wise but just a bit smaller width wise. Overdrive is good and right on. Buttons are good but they are a bit smaller then the RB guitar and the whammy bar is about the same size as the GH guitar. Overall it is a good guitar. __________
Gene Simmons Axe Guitar for PS2/PS3 and WiiDecember 30, 2008 Patricia J. Mazarakis Gene Simmons Axe Guitar
As a KISS fan for many years I'm glad that I can share with my kids the excitement that KISS brought me. The controller is very cool and is good quality. The one thing I'm not sure of is if the five position switch actually does anything or is just for show as it does actually moves. I first learned about this product on [...] which at the the time led me to [...]. This was the only website that I found all of the compatability specs and offical release dates. So I recommend you checkout these websites before buying. Fortunately for me I have both platforms so was able to enjoy Rockband and Guitar Hero for PS2/3 for Christmas. I agree amazon should have had this in their description. Looking back I wonder how many noticed that flaw and was wondering which info was correct. Maybe we should e-mail Gene and have him correct it? I'd hate for him to take the rap for it with bad reviews for the Wii platform.
AwsomeDecember 26, 2008 J. Brandon This Gene Controller Is So Much Better then the reg that comes with the game. it has a better feel also. i highly recommend it to all
