Guitar Hero II is a must have for any gamer/musician and even for the nerd that has always wanted to be a Guitar Hero.
Just great fun... Innovative game play. Best rhythm game ever made in my opinion. Can be too hard at time especially for non rhythm game veterans... I personally was a new to this genre and it took some time before i could beat hard mode. Expert is really frustrating at times especially in the later set lists.
Graphics 8/10
Nothing really amazing about the graphics they look like a high rezzed version of the PS2 version. Sound 9/10
Great amount of good classics in this song like "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "War Pigs". The sound is just amazing even the non master tracks sound flawless if not better. I have two complaints 1. In some of the cover tracks the singers voice is way off from the real singers voice (like Woman and Killing in the Name) 2. NOT ENOUGH HEAVY STUFF!!! I mean come on there is way too much classic rock in this game yet there coming out with an 80s edition... One songs amazes me in this game and that is Six it is heavy and brutal. Value 8/10
The prices are a little overpriced the game its self with the guitar costs $90 and the separate guitar costs more than a full priced video game... But there is a new feature in guitar hero II where you can play co-op which is fun because one person can take lead guitar and the other can take the bass part or rhythm guitar part. Also no online in this game :'(.
Tilt 10/10
I've really enjoyed playing this game the only thing i dislike is the insane difficulty... I know people are reading this saying "wow what a noob" well i really don't have a lot of time to play guitar hero and i play a lot of other games so i never really got that great at the game and the reason is guitar hero is one of those few games where it takes HOURS and HOURS of dedication to become extremely good at, and i feel that Red Octane made the game not very accessible for newbies...
