Wii version is broken

There's no surround sound, or stereo sound for that matter. There's no co-op quickplay. You can't play the boss battle songs in quickplay after beating the boss. The co-op quickplay and boss battle issues were patched in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. To this point, there's no way of patching the Wii version. It's not even certain that there will ever be downloadable content, despite the fact that the possibility of future downloadable content was used as a selling point for the Wii version. Six of the songs can only be unlocked in co-op and they aren't selling extra guitars yet. There's no official word on when they will become available. Well, there's no official word on any of the issues at this point. The lack of surround sound, or even stereo sound, is unacceptable in a music game. The other oversights combine to make it a frustrating experience for this Wii GH3 owner. I'd love to score the game higher, as I like the game itself (minus the flaws). Right now, this just isn't the version to get. If you don't already have the game for the Wii, I'd hold off on purchasing it until they resolve the many issues with the game.

Update: I'm still waiting for my replacement disk. It's been about 2 months since I first began the process. I did get the free faceplate. That's not much use without the game, though. I'll update my review when I get the new disk. The replacement disk program is truly horrid, however.

Update 2: I just got the game back today. The sound is better now. However, since it took them close to THREE MONTHS to exchange my disk for the new one, my review stands at 5.0. That's some of the crappiest customer "service" I've ever had to deal with.
