Pros pretty fun with friends.
Cons lazy port.
Recommended it? No

This is a pretty fun game, but it really doesn't offer too much that the PS2 version doesn't offer. And in some ways it takes a step back...

Guitar Hero 2 is a game where you plug in a guitar-like controller and "play" songs. You have 5 "fret" buttons and a little button that you push up... Read full review »

Guitar Hero 2 is one of my favorite music games, if not my all time favorite. It's full of great songs and it is reasonably difficult for seasoned gamers like myself. Why is it my favorite music game? Well, you can find out below:

Everyone wants be a rock star. Even those who say they don't are lying. At one time or another, everyone has wished they were a rock star. And this is where Red Octane's Guitar Hero II comes in.

Pros fun music game
Cons songs are mostly covers and there out dated.
Recommended it? Yes

I got Guitar Hero 2 with the Guitar Hero 2 pack with Aerosmith. Now Guitar Hero 2 is a bit older and is lacking some of the refinement of the modern day music games. There is no online play, all the songs are covers, and some of the other score keeping like the ability to tell how many stars you... Read full review »

Guitar Hero, the mere mention of the title brings on memories of picking up that tiny plastic guitar and going to town. Well folks Guitar Hero is back and this time on the Xbox 360.

We will start off with the guitar. This version comes with a mini replica of a Gibson... Read full review »

More GH2!

bynad_masters Feb 22, 2008
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Better graphics, exclusive tracks, more songs, downloadable songs, Battle Mode
Cons Too easy to reason with yourself to buy it again!
Recommended it? Yes

Before Rock Band, my brother and I found Guitar Hero 2 for the PS2. So why would we buy it again for the XBOX 360? Well, Best Buy had a sale on the GH2 for the 360 version, which included the X-plorer guitar. The bundle was $69.99, which is only about $10 more than the game by itself. Plus, we were...

Pros Great soundtrack, fun and addicting, very social game
Cons Not to polished, some songs are so-so (cover bands)
Recommended it? Yes

Guitar Hero II is the first Guitar Hero game I bought and I was surprised to find out that it was made by the same developer as Frequency and Amplitude, which I loved on the PS2. Once you get past knowing that Guitar Hero is nothing like playing an actual guitar and ignoring people who bother you... Read full review »

Pros Gameplay is fun. Sometimes you really feel like you're there.
Cons Graphics aren't the greatest. LOT of songs to get through.
Recommended it? Yes

A while back, a friend of mine introduced me to the wonders of Guitar Hero. I played a few rounds and quickly became slightly addicted. I say slightly because it was my friends game and while I had a small feeling of "Need" to get this game, I resisted somewhat. However, when my friend then... Read full review »
