Lets Rock`N`Roll!

You always wanted to play guitar but you never took the time to learn because you wanted to play already?In that case this is the perfect game for you as you rock right away.Playing a video game were you are a guitarist in a band is great,but having a guitar controller to play on instead of a regular controller makes it even better.Yet it all comes down to the songs you get to play,an amazing list of songs made by great bands.You want to solo already but need to start by the beggening!

The guitar you receve with the game has 5 frets of different colours,you have to touch the fret with colour appearing on this screen so it matches and pick at the same time.Seems easy?It isn`t you will need a while to get used to it but before you know it you will play a whole song.The rock meter shows how much you rock,great,good or mediocre if your rock meter gets too low you will have to restart the song.You can earn starpower to incrase your meter.

Too bad that the included guitar isn`t wireless,tought it has been announced that for Guitar Hero III it will be wireless on all the consoles the game is released on(XBOX 360,PS2,PS3,Wii).

The game gets you playing fully,in order to buy all the characters,outfits,guitar,finishes,songs and videos ainailable at the store.The XBOX 360 challenges do bring a challenge as you can complete 50 objectives to earn Gamerscore points.

The venues of the game are quite different from each other,as for one you play in a school battle of the bands,then bars,arenas,outdoor shows...Bring on those crowds.

XBOX 360 VERSION OR PS2 VERSION?

The XBOX 360 has a sweeter guitar,the Gibson X-PLORER,additionnal tracks,more tracks,better graphics,songs to buy on XBOX Live,challenges to get points.The 360 for the extras is well worth the 30$ more than the PS2.Its the same game but 360 has those little extras that are well worthy.

The multiplayer mode is great,you can play leads,rythyms,bass depending on the song,kinda cool.

I rented this game for 2 days and enjoyed it so much i bought it right after bringing it back,its that good!The song selection is amazing and the gameplay is fantastic,just a wonderfull game,can`t wait for the third Guitar Hero to be out.

Expensive?i agree,fun?totaly!

Guitar Hero II

Best game in existence! Even if you do not play guitar, its great to learn and very addicting. Graphics are sweet and it is more than I could ever wish for!

Xbox 360 version vs. PS2 version

Guitar Hero is an amazing games that I own for ps2. The day it releases for Xbox 360 im buying it. The reasons to get the xbox 360 version over the ps2 is that the xbox 360 version includes more songs and having xbox marketplace more songs can always be added on. Also the graphics looks much better, and because I play guitar in real life it matters to me how cool my guitar looks, so the xbox 360 verson comes with much cooler stickers to put on your guitar, and instead of the regular black and red gibson sg you get the explorer. This is why you should get the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero 2 over the PS2's.
