Guitar Hero World Tour - Guitar Bundle

[FourBees]

My local Walmart has this on clearance for $55.00. It is the Guitar Bundle not the band bundle. It is for the wii. Do you have it and if so do your kids like it and is $55.00 a good price? Thanks.

Is it just the guitar and the game?

If yes, $55 is an OK price. I picked up GH with guitar and game for $30 a few weeks back. We needed a 2nd guitar. Or I should say, wanted.

If your kids aren't insisting on something 'new', I'm sure you can get both a guitar and GHWT at GameStop used pretty cheap. DH buys/trades used games all the time, it saves a LOT of money.

Price aside. My kids love the game.

I'd be concerned about buying a used guitar. Those things start to wear out after a lot of heavy use. After a while they start missing notes occasionally. We've fixed ours a couple of times but eventually it's easier just to get new ones. I suspect some people trade theirs in when they hit that point. To me, it would be worth paying a little more to get a new one.

OP, that isn't a bad price. I've seen better but I've also seen worse. If more than one person is going to want to play at the same time, you'll also need to get another guitar, a microphone or the drums.

We have it, though ours is for the XBox 360. We like it, but we prefer the Rock Band games over the Guitar Hero games. The lyrics aren't always totally family friendly, though, so you might want to look through the track list to see if the songs are ones you'd be okay with your kids singing. The worst of the words are usually censored, but there are quite a few that wouldn't be allowed in schools that aren't censored.

If you are interested in a more family friendly game, I'd recommend Lego Rock Band or Beatles Rock Band. Band Hero is also more family friendly than the Guitar Hero games, though I found it to be more challenging than the Rock Band games.

Muushka could you tell me where you found the guitar and game for that price?

CVS (believe it or not) had them at that price ($30) about a month ago. I found out about it a week after the sale, but the kind mgr gave it to me for that price.

If you go on www.slickdeals.net and join up (no spam from them) and then get into the price alert and add GH, they will notify you when there is a deal. We are talking Wii, right? Good luck!

I got my first GH at Sears for $50 about 18 months ago, when it was even more popular.
