Different Controllers for Wii Guitar Hero

The "Guitar Hero" series of video games includes several accessories that mimic musical instruments. As the name of the game suggests, guitars (both bass and lead) are a critical component of game play. The game's developer, Activision, and several third-party developers have created guitars that are compatible with "Guitar Hero" games. They incorporate several real-life guitar features into the design to create a realistic guitar experience.

Xtreme 2 Wireless Guitar Controller

The controller is fully compatible with all of the "Guitar Hero" games and several of the "Rock Band" games. A built-in socket conveniently holds the Wii remote, which provides power to the guitar.
