Title: Re: Amazon's 15 Days, 15 Deals - Day One: GHWT Guitar Bundle CHEEP
Post by: Eel O'Brian on December 02, 2008, 09:08:54 AM: it's thicker than the rb2 guitar neck

it's built really solid, the strum bar is a combo of the rb guitar's strum bar shape and the click feedback of gh guitars

I bought GH3 Black Friday for 50, pretty much for the guitar as well :gloomy My XPlorers could barely activate star power/overdrive anymore.

Though looking at the Amazon reviews of the game, it looks like the World Tour guitar wouldn't work for long anyway.

is it thinner than the GH3 guitar? I felt it was too thick while the RB1 was a bit too thin, just as whole it was more comfortable to use.

Screw that! I feel dumb for buying games on BLACK FRIDAY. I bought LP Colonies for $20 on Friday, now it's $10 :(

Post by: Eel O'Brian on December 12, 2008, 11:37:09 AM: i was kidding

the deals aren't even that great on any of this stuff they've been offering

i started the thread because i figured after the black friday blowout amazon would bust loose on some amazing deals, but so far it has been meeeeeeeh all around

carnival minigames golf is terrible, btw - they fucked up on the one important thing required by a wii golf game, the controls (that looks just like cm golf)

It's not exactly the type of game that has a lot of longevity, so it's fairly useless once you've beaten it unless you're doing a second run for achievements. It's still a very enjoyable game, but it's more of a rental (or a purchase for $40) than a full-priced game.

I did not like the game much at all, though some people dig it. I'd suggest people replay Sands of Time in a heartbeat.
