Does it Really Work? - Peak Starpex Guitar Hero Controller
By Tommy Noel
Eyewitness News Reporter Tommy Noel continues to test toys this month for his "Does it Really Work?" segment.
For today's product, some of the testers just couldn't put it down! A lot of Channel 3 employees like Guitar Hero, so we'll have them test out the Peak Starpex Guitar Hero Controller. Guitar hero has caught the attention of gamers of all ages. "Whenever I go to my cousins that have it I usually just play it the whole time," says Theo Dawson. "After a hard days work, I go home and relieve stress by playing Guitar Hero," says Kerri Huyck. "It makes you feel way awesome," says Scott Dixon. But could the Peak Starpex Wood Controller make you even more awesome? First impressions. All three of our testers immediately noticed the difference in size compared to a regular controller. "It was really heavy," says Kerri. "It was big. Compared to the others, it's a lot bigger," says Scott. "It's a little heavy but it's pretty cool," says Theo. So the coolness factor may make up for the extra weight. Our testers consist of experts, close-to-experts, and novices. All played a song at their appropriate skill level. "The square buttons made it easier to roll around your fingers," says Theo. "It just looked way cooler," says Scott. The testers had their opinions fairly quicky of the Starpex, it was just difficult to pry them away from it. The main drawback for our testers, the size. "I just didn't like the weight, that's it," says Theo. But our evening producer Scott was impressed. "It was better than I expected. The other guitars are all made of plastic and cheaply made, this one felt pretty solid could last thru a lot of stuff," says Scott. Turning to the Noel-O-Meter. "I would give it a three," says Kerri. "I'd give it a four," says Scott. "Maybe a four," says Theo. So this may be a good Christmas gift... Except for Sarah Schwabe. "We failed, that's how bad we are," says Sarah Schwabe.
