Rock Band 3 Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller Review - IGN

ign.com

The Mad Catz Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller for Rock Band 3 is an ambitious attempt to bridge the gap between gaming and real musicianship with its Pro Mode compatibility. While it boasts an impressive design with 102 note buttons and realistic play mechanics, its execution is marred by practical flaws. The strings and fret buttons, while responsive, lack the tactile diversity of a real guitar, making it challenging for players to adjust. The build quality feels similar to standard plastic controllers, and the overall price tag seems steep, especially when compared to full gaming consoles. For those deeply invested in Rock Band’s Pro Mode, it might be worth the splurge, but for others, the value proposition feels off-key.

Review: Mad Catz Wireless Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller | WIRED

wired.com

The Mad Catz Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller aims to blur the line between gaming and real guitar playing, offering a genuine learning experience with 102 buttons and real wire strings. It transforms Rock Band into a guitar simulator, challenging users to learn actual guitar techniques. This innovative approach can be rewarding yet daunting, with a steep learning curve for beginners. Despite its realistic intent, the controller's plastic build and toy-like appearance may not satisfy purists, and it lacks a whammy bar. It's a significant investment for those committed to mastering the art but might leave casual players questioning, "Why not just play a real guitar?"

Rock Band 3 Fender Mustang Pro guitar review

engadget.com

The Mad Catz Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller is an innovative step for Rock Band 3, but it doesn't quite hit all the right notes. With over 100 buttons, it aims to bridge gaming with real guitar skills, yet its uniform button and string width can confuse seasoned players. The lightweight build feels flimsy, and the sensitive buttons can lead to unintended notes. While it offers a unique gameplay experience, the $150 price and steep learning curve might deter some. It's a decent option for casual players, but those used to real guitars may find it lacking.
