Unbelievably! I’ve been dealing with returning my GH5 GUITAR BUNDLE with GAMESTOP for the last 2HRS. And yes, once again, the WHAMMY bar, nose dives as soon as you pull the guitar out.
Let me take you back to my last GH experience a year ago. I bought a brand new GH WORLD TOUR GUITAR and guess what? The WHAMMY bar nose dived to the ground. I swapped out my guitar for another crappy guitar with the same WHAMMY droopy problem, that wasn’t as bad as the last one. I’ve suffered WHAMMY problems for the last year until I took matters in my own hands, and opened up my guitar and with the help from a website and a little teflon tape. I had to repair my own guitar because EVIL ACTIVISION said my warranty was up. MY WARRANTY WAS UP!!! You guys never made the guitar solid from the beginning! And you still are selling defective guitars!!!!!!
Present day. GAMESTOP sold me a defective guitar. I pulled out my guitar and the WHAMMY BAR goes SOUTH. The dude at GAMESTOP opened up 3 more GH5 GUITAR BUNDLES for me while I was there. And yes, all 3 WHAMMY BARS went SOUTH with a light touch of a finger. What was most shocking is the dude at GAMESTOP, told me it wasn’t the worse thing in the world. IT’S DEFECTIVE DOUCHE BAG!!!!! You can’t sell broken guitars!!!! What’s even worse is he told me he would put all 4 defective GH5 GUITAR BUNDLES back on the shelf and sell to people who might not mind as much because he didn’t want to take a hit. He doesn’t want his store to lose money. He just wants to sell the customer a broken product!!! THESE ARE DEFECTIVE GUITAR WITH CRAPPY ASS WHAMMY BAR THAT GOES SOUTH with the littlest of touch. OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!! BEWARE of GAMESTOP! DON’T SHOP THERE!
First off, ACTIVISTION SHOULD OF DELIVERED A 100% bad ass GUITAR that works great with every SEQUEL! There is no reason why this can’t happen! I still own a PS2 GH 2 guitar, and it friggin ROCKS. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, on you ACTIVISION for being lazy and shady.
Second. Why in the hell is GAMESTOP reselling defective product? How is this legal? And why are they still in business? BEWARE!!!!!!!
And finally. I was under the impression I’d be receiving GH VAN HALEN today, and that is not the case. False advertisement? Instead of the game now I get this sticker that I have to sent out, and then maybe in the next 5 to 6 weeks I will get my free game. And as far as the 2 free songs you get at GAMESTOP. You can redeem that coupon SEPTEMBER 4th, maybe. Who knows, maybe it won’t work at all. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT, DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS, why not just lie to us about the 2 free songs.
Last but not least. How is it ACTIVISION is so friggin lazy they can’t even ship the FREE STICKERS with the game. Now you have to send out for the stickers in the mail. I don’t give a POOP about the stickers, but I’m sure there are going to be a lot of bummed out kids when they open up the NEW GH5 game and there are no stickers to cover thier guitars with.
When it’s all said and done there’s just no excuse for this type of behavior. You can’t just go selling $99 GH5 guitar bundles with a broken guitar. Or maybe you can. And all the other crap between ACTIVISTION and GAMESTOP is just a sad sad shady business. So after my 2 hr debacle with GAMESTOP, I settled for just buying the game. I’m seriously bummed out right now. I was looking forward to having a ROCKING ROLL GH5 AWESOME experience! And instead, I am compelled to write this RANT instead. Even with a great 9.3 IGN review, it doesn’t matter much when playing with a defective WHAMMY BAR now does it. I guess I’ll pop in the GH5 disc and rock out on my old yellow FRONT MAN NYKO guitar. At least NYKO knows how to make a fine product.

I just got this in the mail today and we were all so excited to try it. We cracked it open and put it all together. We noticed a problem about 30 seconds into playing. While you are playing a song, (we only have one guitar so it is just one player) it goes to the menu. So you hit the button to make it resume and it continues to go back to the menu. You may get 20 or 30 seconds of play time, but eventually it goes back to the menu. My understanding is the + on the bottom of the guitar is supposed to make it go to the menu, but we aren’t touching that and it continues to go back to the menu. It is truly the most annoying this ever. I have looked at the manual, google, and the GH5 website. I can’t seem to find anything on how to fix this, but for now.. this is a dud. I’m not sure if it is the guitar or the software, but this is definitely a serious problem here. I have tried new batteries and different wii remotes, they all end up with the same result. This is really a bummer for us because this was our first GH purchase.

I got the bundle and the guitar was fine, I didn’t experience any issues at all. I have been playing this game for probably two weeks and although I was initially disappointed by the songs (I had never heard of most of them), I began to like them more after playing them a few times.
I have only played this game with the guitar, but it says I can also play with the microphone, bass guitar and drums. Also, it allows a DS to connect to it for Roadie Battle.
The graphics are pretty good for the Wii. Not boring or too cute. I like how the Wii remote will make sounds if you miss a note, and I like how if you rock the guitar, it will enable “Star Power”. I like how you can customize your band mates.
Overall, it is one of my favorite games for the Wii.

Overall the set list just isn’t that great. I do like about 30-35% of the songs so I can live with it. I am glad I purchased this however, because the controller is pretty cool and I can use it to play World Tour(which has a magnificent set list). I wish I had purchased it a long time ago. I like the play controls though I’m still getting used to it. I have not had the issues that others have had, no screen jumping or anything like that and the graphics are decent. I found the tutorials helpful, because I was struggling at the beginnning; more than I am now. I like that in career mode everything is unlocking fairly quickly as well. Overall the game is still fun, though some of the songs might be a bit obscure.

I purchased this item for my husband’s birthday. He really wanted to take advantage of the free VanHalen game offer. He was extremely happy with both. My adult daughter has an earlier addition, and she borrowed the game and loves it. She also commented on the guitar, and how much she liked it. I would have to say that this is a big hit for all my family members.
