"My kids love Guitar Hero so being able to find everything we needed here on Amazon was perfect."
"It took a little work to get the green button to work, but think I got it fixed now, for 3 bucks I'm not complaining."
"Not as good or easy to use as the original world tour guitars."
"We bought this guitar as a Christmas present for our 4 year old, and within two weeks the wires were starting to work only intermittently."
"It's useable however when connecting the wii remote, it doesn't allow me to put the controller into the spot it's supposed to sit in."
"Guitar won't connect to remote, therefore it isn't any good."
"I bought this as a Christmas gift for my brothers and upon opening/ setting it up we realized that the strum bar was stuck strumming up and the yellow, blue and orange buttons were being pressed without being pushed."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I love that this guitar is wireless.However, be aware that you do have to put the wii remote into the guitar; that's what makes it "wireless" because it uses the sensor of the remote."
"The locking mechanism seems like it should be spring-loaded, but the springs came loose and are now rattling around in the bodies of all three guitars, which is slightly annoying. We had previously borrowed a couple of the actual Activision guitars to play, so I can offer some comparisons. Unlike some other reviewers, I feel that the strum bar is quieter, which is nice for those times when we can't crank the music up to cover the clicking noise."
"If I had known prior, I would have just purchased two of these guitars and not bothered with the one I purchased prior."
"these guitars are pretty much ehat I expected... knock off cheap made versions. we have to recalibrateeverytime we take our guitars to a friend's house and again when we bring them home."
"The only downsides are the noise made by the strap (it squeaks as it rotates around the knob where it connects to the guitar, which is annoying when you're playing and moving around), and the instruction "manual" (really just a single sheet of paper) that was clearly not written by a native English speaker."
"This part seemed poorly made and I've never seen that on a guitar hero guitar before."
"Rock on."
"The back cover clips broke the first time we put the wii remote into the back area."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"While the cymbals add a lot of flash to fills and free-form playing by being mapped to their own sounds (Yellow - Hi-Hat, Blue - Ride, Green - Crash), giving you eight total sounds in those modes, that flash doesn't carry over to the songs themselves. The volume of striking the cymbals is kind of a turn-off, too: now that Harmonix has delivered a much quieter drum kit, adding the cymbals suddenly makes it about as loud to hit as the RB1 kit had been. It's not bad if you've got the volume up, but if you're playing at night and trying to keep the noise down, you may find yourself hearing the tap of your sticks against the cymbals and little else."
"I've seen several reviews here that says that the cymbals slips when it was hit too hard and sometimes the cymbals double-hits when hit too hard. Cymbals Double-hit: I noticed that one of the three cymbals I got was too sensitive. After trying this and testing with songs with lots of cymbals (Dead on Arrival) I noticed that I never missed a note again when hitting the sensitive cymbal."
"These cymbals definitely make playing the drums a lot more fun. Even when I play Beatles Rock Band (which has no support for Pro Drums), I still use these cymbals because they're just so fun. I'd strongly recommend making your own dedicated stands for the cymbals or maybe buying some real cymbal stands, if you can figure out a way to make that work."
"These are hands down the best things I've added to my Rock Band drums outside the silencers."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I have prior music experience with guitar and similar instruments, and some basic theory/vocal/keyboard training from when I was in college (much of which I've forgotten). I've wanted to learn keyboard for a while, and RB3 moving into the realm of more realistic instrument play is a welcome change for me. I found that I was able to jump right into career/quickplay at a medium pro level (mostly single notes with some 2-note intervals on more advanced songs). Other than that I am finding where notes are primarily by feeling around (locations of black keys give you some guidance). Game-play is a lot of fun if you are willing to take the time and energy to learn, or you must be satisfied with easy or non-pro mode."
"Price wise, you can’t beat that, a normal hand held Keytar will cost at least a couple of hundred dollars and more for the ones that actually play music rather than being just a Midi Interface."
"this only works with rock bad 3- no other rock band games are compatible with the keyboard- I thought this would allow us to add a 5th player to the game but it does not, you just loose one of the other instruments :( this is by far the hardest instrument to learn and play this game with!"
"At time of purchase I rationalized that interest level (or lack there-of) in 2015 was the reason for lower price and went ahead."
"Added the batteries, plugged it in and kids were playing rock band 3 with it on wii u within minutes."
"Be aware, however, that most of the older downloadable song content (especially for Rock Band 1 or 2) lack keyboard options in scoring/software development, so the system automatically blocks keyboard access by showing "No Keyboard" available for those songs."
"NOTHING worked."
"Then when I started playing some more, the video froze again and after about 3 minutes I had no other option that to turn off the Wii and restart. They basically told you how to put the batteries in, hook on the shoulder strap and sync the device (via a USB dongle that has to remain plugged into the back of your Wii while using this controller)."

"Grandchildren LOVE using this great mike to perform with the WII games."
"Works well with Rock Band."
"I purchased this mic to replace my broken Rock Band mic and it works perfectly."
"Smaller than the microphone that I originally have with my Rockband game."
"However, prior to purchasing this microphone, all I had for her to use was my headset plugged into the controller."

"Peach's color scheme: Light Pink: Front, wrist strap clamp. Pink/Magenta: Back, rubber sleeve, wrist strap, 1&2 buttons. Yellow: D-Pad. White: Peach Crown Logo, A button. Also, these Wii Remotes are region free! So just pop those in, and push the small red sync button on the back of the remote where the battery compartment is, as well as the sync button on the front of your Wii/Wii U. One other great thing, is unlike the older Wiimotes, the sync button can be pressed through the case and rubber sleeve, so you *don't* need to remove the sleeve or battery cover to sync the remote."
"Great remote."
"The extra remote isn't necessary to have fun with the Wii, but it eliminates the need to pass one remote between two players."
"The rubber grip is awkward and seems to interfere with the sensor, but it's easily removed and not necessarily as the remote is pretty durable."
"Product works great, arrived new as described."
"I received a regular Wii remote and not the Wii Motion plus remote."

"I had this game years ago and loved playing it."
"You can now race as many as 12 racers online through the online gaming, and bring the action over the top, and use that skill and excitement on over 40 different tracks: 10 battle tracks and 32 exciting race tracks that are both new and featured from the earlier Mario Kart games like D.K."
"Even now, years after its release, this game is one of the most pleasing, fun racing games available. I have been a gamer since the days of Atari, that's how old I am, well, not that old really, but it shows how Mario Kart acomplish what other games don't, it brings not only memories back, but it manages to make the racing experience a unique one that brings players of all ages together. If you want a more relaxed, fun experience, play this game, and do it with family and friends, they will all enjoy it. I own all consoles, I love eye candy, graphics are always a plus for me, but I have to be honest, Mario Kart for the Wii exceeded my expectations, it looks a lot better than I thought and quite honestly, when I play Mario Kart, it does something that none of my other games do when I play...the kid in me comes out and it puts a smile on my face."
"This is the best Wii game I've played along with Wii Sports Resort for play value -- how many times will it get played and how much fun can you have playing it."
"This game gives the feeling of driving your own go kart at the race. The wheel there's no contest its the best controller to use with this game for the realistic feeling it promotes."

"Great songs, lots of classic rock, which makes it easier for the parents to listen to the game being played ;)."
"My 4 year old was so happy to get this for her birthday."
"Same thing the next day.... and the next. You earn points based on following the choreography which can be very motivating for competitive types. I love how my kids are being exposed to some of the songs I grew up with--as well as having songs they know from kids TV shows."
"Initially, I didn't care for the kid's version, as the songs seemed a little babyish for the group we had playing (5, 9, 12, & 13). In a desperate attempt to keep three 5 year olds from destroying my home or terrorizing the dogs, I pulled out Just Dance Kids."
"My 5 year old has trouble following and imitating all of the moves, but I know that with practice that will improve."
