Krystian Majewski said...: I woul like something about the Guitar Hero controller here, because it doesn't really have anthing to to with the post and isn't so important to write another post about it.

Although the controller is really nice and well-made, an big flaw destroys a lot of fun: it makes sounds. When you press the main switch, it makes a clicking sound. When two people play a fast song, the clicking gets louder then the song. It is really annoing.

I know that it would be very difficult to produce a controller which doesn't do any sounds. Hoever, I just wanted to mention that.

Also, I think it would enhance the expierience if the music would come from the controller and not from the TV. I know that in a regular electric guitar, the sound comes from an amplifyer, so Guitar Hero is accurate here. Still, in a real guitar, the vibrations give you a kind of feedback that Guitar Hero does not provide. A built-in speaker just like in the Wii controller could turn the Guitar Hero controller into something more than just a piece of plastic you constantly click on.

Hmm, wait a minute.. what if I unscrew that screw; 08 August, 2006 14:35
