Guitar Hero Live 2-Pack Bundle - Xbox One

Everything looks and works flawlessly. Plugged the dongle in the back and it synced right up. Super fun game. I owned all the old guitar hero's, but I really like how they changed the fret keys setup on the new one. It feels a lot more natural and makes the game a lot more fun. I would definitely recommend this for guitar hero veterans and newbies alike. 5 stars.

This product will make me think twice about buying Activision products in the future. Putting aside all the other issues that people have correctly pointed out - not allowing multiple users to sign in simultaneously, cheap controllers, the inability to just play the songs you want when you want, constant upselling, etc., the hardware does not provide basic function in a way they HAD to know going in. The most basic fun of Guitar Hero/Rock Band is the ability to get together with friends/family and play together. But the hardware doesn't allow that to be done without great difficulty. The Xbox One has three ports - one on the side and two in the back. You need to use two to play with 2 guitars, because you can't register 2 guitars with the same USB key. Problem is the USB keys only have a very limited range and struggle to pick up controllers. This is particularly pronounced with the back USB ports. By myself, I can play 1 guitar on my couch. But I can't play with friends or family without one of us literally sitting right up by the television in order to register that guitar with the USB key in the back of the Xbox. This is just a basic design flaw that tons of consumers have pointed out and should have been ridiculously obvious in advance. There's no way Activision didn't know this. Yet they sold these 2 pack bundles to consumers knowing that they don't provide the most basic function - to play on your couch with a friend or family member in your living room 6-8 feet away from your television. That is NOT too much to ask to say the least but the cost cutting across the board that appears to have gone on with this product prevented the company from spending the nominal amount of money it would cost to ensure you can play both guitars more than 3 feet away from your Xbox. I can't recommend any more strongly people avoid this product and Activision deserves scorn for this ripoff of a product.

First off, i'm also a big Guitar Hero Fan. Had quite of few of the games for Xbox 360 and enjoyed every minute of them.Secondly, I would have gave it a higher rating if it wasn't for issue for things on the technical side. I've had it since Christmas, and played it a bunch since. So lets dive in shall we:Pros:Guitar Hero is back. I truly missed it.The new control scheme is difficult and WILL take some time getting used to. But once you nail it, its back to that same feeling of shredding it.The Gameplay modes (Live and TV) are pretty fun. Live is a little daunting, playing in front of a crowd and having them boo and throw things can make you nervous haha. TV is also fun. You can play to the actual music videos by jumping into a song from one of the channels OR go through the song catalog.Some people have a problem with the songs on there. Personally, I don't. The previous versions had a lot of great songs, so i understand that they might have wanted to get some new ones in there. So I get it. They still have a good mix of old and modern but mostly modern.Cons:The stupid USB dongle. I don't know why Microsoft refused to let them use their Wireless tech but word to the wise, put the dongle on the USB on the side of the Xbox One. I had some connection issues in the beginning. Sometimes it takes a minute for the guitars to sync and you can't go too far away without having some kind of issue.The star power isn't as intuitive as it once was. You have to shake the guitar like a mad man to activate or press a button, that is so close to the start button you'll end up interrupting your song more often than not.Now if you can get past all of these issues, it's a decent game. It needs some work and fine tuning for the next one but its pretty solid for the most part.

We had been discussing purchasing GHL for a few months and finally pulled the trigger on it. We had it for the XBox 360 when it first came out, and then sold the console. We were so impressed with how the game has progressed! It was a little difficult for my 8-year old to catch on, as he was used to the old style from playing at the neighbor's house. However, after about 30 minutes of play, he had caught on and was beating me at a few songs!The guitars could be made a little more sturdy, but they do the job and they fit all sizes of hands. That's why I dropped a star. Otherwise it is an awesome game and has given us many hours of fun already!

The only reason I purchased this product is because it was on sale. I wasn't sure if I would buy it otherwise, but for the price I couldn't pass it up. After playing it, I am so impressed. I think this product is worth more than what I bought it for. I had a problem with one of the guitar buttons sticking at first, but after some use it loosened up. I think the guitars themselves are great quality. I was worried about the feature where you are able to buy 'plays' with real money, but I have no issue with how this is set up. There are lots of options to earn plays by completing tasks in the game. One thing that I am overly impressed by is the stations. They have different categories that change every 30-60 minutes and play songs in that genre. I also love the new campaign mode, it is just brilliant. It's a bit short though. I have played this by myself for hours and didn't get bored. I have also brought this over to my friends and played with a group of people. I am overly impressed and glad I bought this. The overall feel while you're playing is so real and I love that. Definitely worth the buy, especially if you love Guitar Hero/Rockband type games.
