4.0 out of 5 stars Nice alternative, only slight disadvantages over official controllers, November 28, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I got the Nyko Frontman for the same reason you're looking at it, most likely - it's cheaper than the official RedOctane guitars. I'm usually wary of third party controllers, as they're usually lacking in quality, but I took a chance with this one and I'm glad I did. It works just as well as the official guitars, though it feels a bit different, as the buttons are more rounded. That's not a bad thing, either. I've found that some people actually prefer it.
One downside I can think of might not even apply to most people, but in my case, I travel with my guitars a lot. With the official guitar, you can remove the neck and break them into two pieces, but you can't do that with this one. I usually carry them around in a duffel bag, so since I can't break this one apart, the only way to get it to fit is to have the neck sticking out of the bag. It wasn't a deal-breaker for me, though. You also can't use the colorful faceplates that RedOctane makes, as their shape is completely different. It comes with a yellow or pink faceplate in addition to the white one, though why you would want to use either of those is beyond me. You're already holding a silly plastic guitar, and you want to give it a pastel faceplate?
Also, I only have Guitar Hero III. I have no idea if this guitar works for Rock Band, so you might want to do some research on that if you want to use it for that game. I'm assuming it works for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and Guitar Hero World Tour, though, even though I don't have them.
Don't get scared off by the box or manual saying anything about requiring batteries. The only batteries you will need are already in your Wii remote. My guess is that Nyko used the same template for guitars for PS2/PS3/Xbox 360 as well, and those need batteries.

Overall, it's a great guitar and a nice alternative to the official models. Enjoy rocking out!

5.0 out of 5 stars now we can battle!, October 24, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
My kids LOVE their guitar hero but sadly it is basically a one player game - this allows you to battle each other and added a lot to the fun level. This guitar works every bit as good as the one that came with it only it has an extra face plate so they can change it out. I recommend this to anyone who loves guitar hero and wants a chance to go against someone else (aka do battle)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great alternative to high priced guitar, November 2, 2008
By K. Pagel (Rochester) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I got this for a great price through Amazon. It works just like my Guitar Hero guitar in every way. It is a little shorter which may be a bonus for you and does not effect game play at all. Nice option of being able to change form black to white face too!
