PDP Rock Band Rivals Wireless Fender Jaguar Bundle for Xbox One

I had Rock Band 3 on the Xbox 360 and played it on a regular basis, we played it everytime we had friends over !!! We recently upgraded to the Xbox One and purchased this Rock Band 4 Rivals bundle over the holidays and played it enough to make and educated comparison to Rock Band 3 and the Mad Cats products. You may not know that the Rock Band franchise recently changed their peripheral vendor from Mad Cats to PDP. So there are some differences with the guitars. First of all the new Fender Jaguar guitar in this bundle conveniently folds in half for easier storage and transport if your RB gigging to friends houses. It's buttons are snappy and accurate, the guitar feels solid overall and looks real cool. It does not have the 4-way sound switch like the Mad Cats guitar had but I didn't really use that much anyways. The USB microphone in this bundle is of good quality and feels accurate in your hand, it's sounds great whether you sing loud or sing softy. I think the rock Band 4 (Rivals) game has some sort of voice compensation software that helps with your vocal highs and lows ; evening those sounds out, making the song sound consistent when your singing, but regardless of that the microphone passes in quality. The Bundle packaging looks appealing and is packed well. The game software downloaded about 8gb or so to my Xbox One before we could play. I used my account email user ID that I used with my old Xbox 360 which I primarily played RB 3 on and it instantly noticed my already purchased DLC songs and asked if I'd like to import all of my 133 songs !! This was awesome, because one of my major concerns was being able to reuse all of my already purchased Rock Band DLC tunes. The game graphics look appealing and the menus are easy to use. The characters on screen are customizable but that's not why I play this game. Overall I'm happy with this purchase and give the new equipment by PDP a passing grade. As part of this bundle purchase you'll receive a free mic coupon code, and it needs to be used by March 17th 2017 on the PDP website which includes free shipping. Party on !!

I held off purchasing Rock Band 4 as the initial release seemed like half a game, but with the new additions to the game and the change in manufactures for the instruments, I decided to buy it. So, I will review the game and the guitar here.Rock Band 4 + Rivals Expansion: The game is near perfect in my opinion. Despite there still being a lack in online multiplayer (pretty ridiculous since it's over a year after release), the game has a lot to keep you occupied. Almost all of the old DLC and exports transfer to Rock Band 4 so I instantly had a library of 300+ songs to play with along with the music on disc. The career mode is similar to the careers from Rock Band 1 and Rock Band 2, so you'll be playing various tours and setlists across the globe. With the addition of the Rivals expansion, there is a new mode called Rockudrama, which is essentially like playing a documentary. You play various setlists throughout that are entangled with pre-recorded interviews to fit the mode. Overall, there are various modes to keep you occupied and from what I've read from the developers, the online multiplayer should be coming later this month so that's another thing to be excited for.The guitar: I never used the original instruments that were made by Mad Catz, so I can't really compare the new instruments and the old, but from what I had heard the Mad Catz guitars worked pretty well but they did have their issues. With older Rock Band and Guitar Hero games, I always used the Guitar Hero controllers because I liked the more clicky strum bar the guitars had. The buttons were also way easier to use, as I play on expert all the time, so I'd need an easier controller to use. With this new Jaguar guitar, although the guitar isn't suited to my normal liking, I actually enjoy it alot and have been able to perform very well on the game using it, specifically 100%ing songs like Painkiller that are normally pretty hard. I never use the solo buttons, but the normal buttons are very easy to slide up and down on for fast solos. The only gripe I have about the guitar is how the neck folds down. Yes it makes for easier storage, but because you have to unfold it and snap it into place, it seems to have an awkward wiggle all the time as you play. It may be just my guitar, but it makes it very hard to play at times due to the random wiggling if I'm strumming pretty fast or something along similar lines.Overall, the game is a blast and the guitar works and is easy to work with for the most part. If you want just the guitar and don't want to shoot for the band bundle, I'd highly recommend this bundle.

Rockband 4 is wicked fun! The Rivals expansions adds a lot to it as well. We needed a new guitar, and though I already have the game, this price was so good I couldn't pass it up. The guitar works flawlessly, even better than the red one I bought a few weeks ago. I like how it can fold to be carried around, and it seems a better quality than the other guitar I bought; I don't feel like it will fold up while I play if I push on it hard enough.If you need a new guitar, this one is it. If you want the game too, then this is a good bundle. Get it on sale for a great deal!

Muy buena la calidad del producto, la guitarra es de fácil traslado, ya que se dobla :) además de que ahora puedes calibrar la guitarra en automatico poniendola frente a la TV gracias al senor que tiene incluido. Guitarra, juego y expansión a un precio increíble. En tiendas Retail estan al doble del costo. Entrega en menos tiempo de lo esperado, no dejen pasar este gran paquete :)

SUPER fun, great guitar! Great game. A must have for every gamer collection.

Purchased one month ago and was happy with purchase however within one month the strum bar broke and discovered it was a common issue with the stum bar magnets breaking off inside . Will contact support and see what support they are able to provide and will base my review on that. This is adult owned and never hammer the strum and owned previous rb instruments before and never had a problem with the build quality until now. . There was also no coupon for the free mic as advertised .

No hay originalidad en el juego, mas de lo mismo con los demas juegos musicales del estilo, queda mucho por hacer en este segmento

No hay mucha diferencia entre este RB y los anteriores. El gameplay sigue siendo el mismo con ligeros cambios como los solos libres de guitarra. El modo historia de rivals llamado Rockudrama es muy entretenido y el modo de tour igual es bueno. El repertorio esta mil veces mejor que el de su competencia guitar hero y el hecho de que puedas jugar con toda la banda es genial.La guitarra es de las mejores que he tenido. Es ligera pero firme y de buen tacto. Ademas tiene la ventaja de que puede compactarse al doblar es mástil. Es un juego que vale mucho la pena si les gusta la música y sentirse como Brian May en un sábado por la noche.
