The first one was better music "as made famous by" sounds like artists, guitar hero two gives the ability to jam with a friend and that is awsome....... great gift for anyone any age!!! From the kids, to the grandparents, we use it to break the ice at family gatherings, and everyone is entertained young and old....... We are so cool and feel like such rock stars, we just can't help it!!!! The elders( not the grand parents) are now taking up real electric guitar lessons, yes, everyone really got into it.....

The game itself is great. When we recieved the product from Amazon it was defective and I didn't appreciate the fact that I needed to pay for the shipping to send it back since it wasn't my mistake.

i am a rockstar

i never thought i would have this kind of reaction to a video game. when my mother brought this gsme home, i was a little apprehensive. when i sat down and started playing, i slowly became addicted. the songs that were chosen for this game are fast, up beat and very catchy. after i mastered the first level (easy) i moved my way up to medium. get good at easy before you make the transition to medium, because the harder level you play on, the more buttons you have to push. when you do make the transition into medium, you get money for the gigs after there completion and you can buy new characters, new songs, guitars, clothing, which makes the reason to get four stars instead of three a little more pressing (more stars and points = more money). this game overall is so much fun for the whole family. this game, i actually feel like its doing something for your cognitive development in regards to color, sound and hand coordination. you will definitely not be disappointed when you purchase this game. keep on rockin

Back for an encore

Guitar Hero II was one of the most widely anticipated games of 2006. It's prequel, Guitar Hero, was one of (probably THE) best music game I have ever played. With such guitar classics as "Smoke On The Water", "Take Me Out", and "Ziggy Stardust", Guitar Hero I would be hard to top. So how does Guitar Hero II match up?

First of all, I highly reccommend getting one or two guitars. They are quite accessible at gaming stores and are a lot of fun once you get them. Trust me, they're worth the extra buck. When I popped this game into my PS2, the first eight songs looked and played amazing. I kept going, and after completing the entire setlist, I must say that the setlist is even better than that of I. Some of the best picks are "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Heart Shaped Box", "War Pigs" and "You Really Got Me". The game also brings to the table a practice mode, which includes the ability to slow down the tempo until your fingers familiarize themselves with the particular tune. If you've played the first, you know that it, in and of itself, is actually very similar to the guitar. Quite easy to pick up and play simple tunes, but can take forever to master. This game, with four difficulty modes (easy, medium, hard, and expert), tons of unlockables, and an extremely high replay value, proves my point. The replay value is extremely high, I must have played "Heart Shaped Box" at least 30 times and it's not close to getting old.

The old standards are all here as well: Versus mode, Career mode, and Quick Play (seriously, what guitar based game would exclude those options?) along with several new characters, guitars, purchaseable songs, videos, you name it. The booklet that comes with the game is also quite innovative; based like a guitar magazine complete with an interview with Axel Steel, one of the game's characters. In my opinion, it beats its predecessor, and that's not something easily done. A very well deserved 5 out of 5.

Disappointed

Everyone I talk to agrees with me on this: the songs in Guitar Hero 2 just aren't as good. There's a ton of metal and such, so they're not as fun for me and I don't recognize them. It's not a surprise, though, if you look at the bonus songs by bands of the game creators in Guitar Hero 1. I'm just saying that they better just be holding onto "Don't fear the Reaper" for Guitar Hero 3. However, you get to play freebird.

I beat Free Bird on Medium!!!!!!!

It really is true that i beat Free Bird on Medium. This is a game any rock fan must get. Even if you aren't one, it will turn you into a rockstar.
Here are some tips
Your Mom does not count as a fan
Keep a minifridge in your practice space
And the most important: Beware of The Shred!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guitar Hero Two is a really fun game for just abouy anyone at any age. There are so much more things to do on GH2, brand new songs like Thunder Horse by Dethklok, Six by All That Remains and many, many more. The graphics are also much better and they have impoved the pull offs. Guitar Hero Two is just a great game for anyone who loves music and playing guitar.

better songs than the first still could use more

My teenagers love this game. It is the favorite of theirs and friends. Great for friend get-togethers. Did have to purchase an extra guitar. With the amount of fun they have had it has been well worth the high purchase price.

Best game EVER

I've been playin this game at my community college (instead of goin to class) and i've gotta say it's FANTASTIC!!!! I just started gettin good on expert (I beat freebird on hard!!! my arm almost fell off :) )

all around couldn't be more pleased. the gameplay is addictive and fun for all ages.

the only complaint is that sometimes the fret buttons stick but thats more of a guitar problem than game problem.

ROCK OUT AND PEACE OUT
