I've been playing an old Guitar Hero for a while and the game was getting loud. I thought it would be both a good replacement and an upgrade. I was amazed at how much difference the automatic calibration made! I made a pretty big mistake doing it by hand. This makes the game easier to play via sound and more immersive because the time is accurate now! I usually play with a headset, but sometimes the batteries in the headset die while playing, giving me a chance to listen. It's quiet and feels pretty good. I ordered a used one from Revain and was very impressed that the action is still perfect and everything feels tight!
