GHII: Xbox 360 X-Plorer controller speculations

With more goodies than your little brother's Halloween basket, Guitar Hero II on the Xbox 360 packs a wallop of new features over the PlayStation 2 version. Over 70 mesmerizing tracks, the new X-Plorer controller, leaderboards, and downloadable content make GHII: Xbox 360 the ultimate rock package.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Through Xbox Live you'll now be able to download new themes for the Xbox 360 dashboard, picture packs for your profile, get ranked on global leaderboards, or purchase a number of new songs and jam packs that will be available to download. Talk about lengthening product life. Multiplayer, however, is still limited to offline only, but Coop, Face-off, and Pro Face-off return on the Xbox 360 version.

Although we saw 480 progressive scan support for GHII on the PS2, the Xbox 360 version visually stuns with HD graphics. The enhanced character models and over-the-top lighting will rock your socks off. And with the enhanced audio capabilities of the Xbox 360, the sounds quality will make your ears bleed in ecstasy compared to anything you've heard on the PS2.

The new lighting system will send you into an epileptic seizure of ecstasy.

The new X-Plorer controller, modeled after a different Gibson guitar than its PS2 counterpart, is a welcome edition to GHII: Xbox 360. It may be wired, but the Directional Pad allows for swift menu navigation and it even supports an Xbox 360 Headset for chatting it up with fellow rockers. There's also an RJ-45 port, but its functionality is unknown at this time.

Essentially, GHII on the Xbox 360 is the same game we've all played on the PS2. But, the added level of depth and unlimited replay value through achievements and downloadable content make GHII: Xbox 360 the ultimate version to own. Throw your panties on stage and look for GHII on the Xbox 360 in March.
