Guitar controller From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nyko Frontman is a guitar controller produced by Nyko for several game systems to be used with the video games Guitar Hero and Rock Band.[1] Depending on the version, its appearance is very similar to the Fender Telecaster (Wii) or the Gibson Explorer (PS2/PS3).
Separate models were released rhythm games for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii video game consoles.[2][3] The first iterations were compatible with Guitar Hero 1 and Guitar Hero 2 for the PS2.[4]

With the addition of PS3 Firmware 3.10 the Frontmans Dongle/receiver was Deactivated due to it being one of many products not up to Standards.
Wired gave the Wii version a 6 out of 10 rating, praising its larger whammy bar and lower price, but feeling that its difference could lead to perceived unfairness in multiplayer competitions.[5] Two separate IGN reviews generally praised it for being better than most other third party guitar controllers, though conceded that it still wasn't better than first party ones.[6][7] Reviewers at 1UP.com were “impressed” wit it as well, praising its responsiveness.[8]
