Guitar Hero II Officially Announced

The sequel to the popular guitar rhythm game to hit this fall, complete with new tracks, instruments, and more...

It is finally official; Guitar Hero II will be making its way to the PlayStation 2 this fall, and will host a boatload of new content.

Red Octane and developer Harmonix are currently hard at work to bring Guitar Hero II to the PS2, chock full of new features. The new installment will have an entirely new track list, new venues, and additional game modes, including the ability to play rhythm, lead or bass guitar.

While Red Octane is still keeping quiet about specific songs in Guitar Hero II, they have confirmed that the soundtrack, "Remains firmly in the rock domain, pulling from a mix of classic rock, metal, heavy metal, modern rock, and alternative titles. More than 55 songs will be featured in the next installment."

The game also sports a new co-op multiplayer mode where each player can play a separate track, providing more of a band-like feel.

Also, the original Guitar Hero SG controller will be compatible with Guitar Hero II, though no word yet on a new guitar controller for the sequel.
