View Full Version : Is my Strat broken?

I've seen some problems posted regarding the Strat guitar that comes with RB flaking out after short periods of use, but mine is fresh out of the box, and I think it's broken. If it's not broken, it's a lousy piece of equipment.

I'm used to the clicky-pop of a GH Xplorer controller strum bar (XBox 360). I've been playing GH II and III for the 360 for awhile now. I got RB for the 360 today and was playing it with my kids. I really dislike how the strum bar gives no tactile or audible feedback to being pressed. Trying a few songs on hard and medium as bass, I could not strum with the rhythm when it got really fast. Check that: I know I was strumming fast enough and dead on the rhythm, but the game was not registering many of my strums. I even tried alternating up and down strum, and that just caused me to fail a song.

I had no problems with the Xplorer controller on the same songs at the same difficulty, so what I want to know is, does this sound like a broken Strat, or does it really just suck this much?
