Fortunately, the board is not nearly as sensitive as we expected it to be and is separated from the standard buttons by fret's worth of distance and a slight downward indentation.
When we first heard about the finger tapping piece we were immediately concerned about faulty or accidental contact that would offset a significant streak. The finger tapping sensor board takes a commanding amount of space on the neck, but RedOctane was careful in their implementation of the new feature and hardware. The major addition to the neck is the finger tapping sensor piece, which has taken residence a fret below the standard note buttons. The beyond the extension in length, the shape of the headstock is the only other dimensional change in the neckpiece. To keep proportionally in line with the body, the neck has also been extended by a few inches. While the shape and make are different, now a dual-cutaway Strat-like shape, the body is notably larger and more lifelike, although still below the full-scale mark. On a principally physical level, the Guitar Hero World Tour is, in many ways, a vast improvement upon its wireless Les Paul predecessor. In any case, the model off which we are basing our review was free of the problems some have been experiencing. With that in mind, perhaps we are just lucky to have not gotten a lemon bundle, or perhaps the problems associated with the hardware are really as isolated as Activision has suggested. But before we proceed, I feel its necessary to indicate that we are basing our judgments off of a retail version of the Guitar Hero World Tour bundle. We were fortunate enough to receive an unafflicted, albeit uninspiring, drum kit for review and it seems we have escaped the noose once again with our wireless guitar. To put it quite simply, the answer is no…well, at least not in our case. Is the Guitar Hero World Tour as addled by post-launch woes as its percussion sibling? The two most frequently reported issues are related to strum bar performance and the finger-tapping sensor. While complaints about the drums have been pretty widespread, there have also been some sporadic reports of sub-par performance in the Guitar Hero World Tour guitar controller. The drums were the prime focus of the complaints, which cited poor hit detection of the snare and left cymbal sensors. Shortly following the launch of Guitar Hero World Tour this past weekend, the internet became inundated with reports of performance issues with the game's instrument controller peripherals.
