We talked about the Peak controller last month and now it’s making the rounds. We were lucky enough to get a thorough hands on and I’m happy to report that if you don’t like strum games like Guitar Hero the Peak could help you change your mind.
The guitar is styled on a full-sized electric with wooden neck and a nice strap. There are higher and lower buttons along with a Star Power button near the strum bar. Because it’s not hollow it doesn’t sound like maracas shaking when you strum.
I personally hate strum games but this would make me reconsider. They’ll be selling literally any minute now at Go-Peak.com for $180. More photos after the jump.
You can actually buy a pretty decent *real* guitar for $180. Guitar center has more than 20 priced under $180, including a very cool-looking Dean and some nice-playing Yamahas.
And if you’re willing to buy used you can do even better. Guitar Hero can be fun but real guitar teaches you something useful, develops your brain, and can get you laid.
