Wireless Guitar Hero controllers next month! News
PlayStation 2 News by Tom Bramwell
RedOctane has announced that it will release proper, official wireless Guitar Hero controllers in the US next month, and they'll cost just US$ 59.99.
They will be compatible with either Guitar Hero 1 or 2 (the latter's due out next month in the US and Europe), and we're assured that they use the same mechanism, and have been created to the same high quality as the wired Guitar Hero SG controllers.
They're also going to be white, we're told (I don't know why I did that in italics either), but it's not clear whether the actual shape has changed at all.
It's also yet to be confirmed whether the wireless controllers will be released in Europe, so we'll be nagging our friends at RedOctane on a daily basis until we know for sure.
"RedOctane has long been committed to offering high-quality videogame accessories for gamers," said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane.
"Being able to give our fans an option to rock the wireless guitar controller was definitely a priority for us, and it'll provide another exciting experience for players to achieve rock star status!"
Look out for our Guitar Hero II review very soon, and in the meantime why not check out our extensive hands-on preview?

Excellent. This definitely means wireless controllers for the 360 version.

Does anybody know when we can expect a 360 version? I know it's coming, but why isn't there a release date yet? The game itself seems to be quite easy to port.
Or will the 360 version be entirely different from the normal Guitar Heroes II version? Different songs etc.? That would be a shame, because I'd love to play Thunderhorse. |

Dude, no guitars have wires. Cables and radio packs are entirely seperate. Most guitarists have no use for radio kits. You start looking all pretentious and 80s if you pull out stuff like that. Its a good idea for the game though as guitar cables are often 20ft or more.

Don't put yourself off if you haven't tried it. Go into a shop and ask if they will stick it on for 10 mins. No-one should dismiss this game without giving it a fair run. :) |

"Still have NO idea why people want wireless guitars... REAL guitars have wires dangling out of them!"
And they are a pain in the arse. As are wired mics. :) |
