This item for PS2 did not work, buttons were in the wrong places and then stopped responding at all. When I returned it to Target she told me she had already received 11 others returned the same day.

I got this controller for Christmas this year, and it worked great the first day. It felt great & I really liked the look. Fortunately, my girlfriend & I were able to complete a multi-player career in one day, because this controller stopped working properly afterwards. The green & red buttons became the yellow & blue buttons, and strumming didn't work at all. I followed the reset instructions multiple times but nothing happened.

When we returned it, we looked at Target for another one but the only one displayed was another one by the same brand. I asked the clerk about it & he said it was the only one they had. I told him about my problem, and he then admitted that he didn't recommend that brand. He used to work at Game Stop and suggested I pick up one from them. It's pretty telling how bad a product must be when the retailer is suggesting you shop elsewhere!

When I first hooked it up the whammy bar didn't work. Since I got it for Christmas I couldn't take it back right away so I used it anyway. The whammy bar started working about the time the tilt detector (accelerometer) stopped working. Eventually it started sending random signals to the PS2 and the game would detect all buttons being pressed at once and thus it was unusable.

this did not work with gh3. buttons were all wrong and couldnt select options in the game. tried the other gh games it did not work either. will be returning for my money back.

So you wanna play guitar? This is the one to start on. It's easy. It's COOL!

I'm too pissed off to form a paragraph so I'll do this in a list.
-Start button is right where your hand goes, so you're constantly pausing the game.
-Star Power won't deploy reliably or responsively
-Guitar intermittently loses its connection with the console during gameplay FREQUENTLY. I have failed many songs because of this
-Yellow button stopped working completely after a week
-The thing eats batteries like crazy
and FINALLY
-It set me back 40 BUCKS

We have had this guitar for a while now...probably 6-8 months. My husband loves the look and style of the guitar, however it loses its connection (linking up) with the console over and over and over. We've taken it back to the store 4 times to get new ones and they do the exact same thing every time. I've looked all over to try and find the contact information for the manufacturer, but cannot seem to find any. All I've found are other reviews of the product saying how much this guitar sucks.

I needed a replacement for my broken wireless guitar. I ended up at Target and the only replacement they had was this Psyclone wireless. It looked very nice and I was impressed with the design. So I got it. 55 bucks. Got it home. Two problems. The start/reset buttons are right where your hand rests on the guitar. No problem. Kinda annoying but I can live with it. Second, the whammy bar doesn't work. Took it back to Target. Got a replacement. Same thing. I don't understand how Target can carry an item that is more expensive than average, yet it is built like it was made in a sweat shop in China. I won't be buying any Psyclone products at all. Avoid this. Getting a good product is hit and miss.

Just to add my bad experience, and to warn other buyers: we returned two (2!) of these Psyclone guitars in a week. Whammy bar was broken on the first, and quit working after two days on the other. We're done with that!
Picked up a Nyko Frontman at GameStop for the same price.
Not the hottest looks, but 1000% sturdier!
Rock on!

The guitar did not work. The buttons did not function correctly and it had to be returned. Still waiting for the refund.
