Dude... just dudeeeee.

Awesome game that's it. It has awesome songs, and when you aclimate you're self to the controls you are gonna having tons of fun trust me. The learning curve is not as hard as you may expect. And it's fun, you may feel stupid with a plastic guitar on your arms but you won't care when nailing the solo's on sweet child o mine. Graphics: Not the shining point in the game but they are passable. Sound: now this is where the game shines, the songs sound great, and the sound guys re recorded the songs. Some vocals aren't the best but they are passable. controls: hard at first but when you master the techniques in the game you'll be okay. I rated this game playing single player but the game's so fun that you'll wish you had a second guitar controller.

Guitar Hero 2

This is a great game and if you havent heard of it by now you might be living in a shoe. First time you play Guitar Hero you will fail in 3 seconds but after maby 10 play throughs youll get the hang of it. This game once you get good is highly addictive. I have never just played one song you need to play a bunch. I think the cheap grapich in the backround are dumb but the gamplay is awsome. This is why i would give guitar hero 2 a 4.5 out of 5

The Break Through Game Of The Decade

Guitar Hero II is a sequel to the Game of the Year 2005 Guitar Hero. It comes back with 55+ songs and about 30 bonus songs. The song choice is a very appealing one and has classics such and Sweet Child O' Mine and Freebird. All of the songs make you want to keep going and beat the game all in one night. The charaters are pretty much the same but added a few more. There are also new venues. This game has the fun of DDR and the action of a real guitarist. The graphics are appealing and sound is messed up every blue moon. The controls seem to never fail. The games deserve all it has accomplished and much more.

A Playable Soundtrack!!!

The ultimate rhythm game Forget DDR, this is what should be in arcades. It's got a great control scheme, authentic guitars, about a dozen rockers to choose from, and all the best songs. The guitar controller just feels right in your hands, so natural. It's so easy to play. You will never listen to music the same again. PS The sole purpose I got the PS2 is for this game!

I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night

Guitar Hero II is the best simulation game of its kind. Forget about DDR. This is much, much better. Although the songs may be better on the first guitar hero may be better, the overall gameplay and presentaion is better in the sequal. It has a pretty good learning curve for both n00bs and hard core gamers. It takes a lil getting used to, but the fret buttons and the strumming bar wont take long to learn. Before long you will be rocking out like Van Halen. I know i have been. The graphics arnt the best, but thats not the focus of the game. Many well known and addicting songs are fetured in Guitar Hero II, including the hard rockin Freebird. I recomend this to EVERYONE with a ps2. I dont care if you dont like rock. You will, you will...
