Great music game that rocks you to the core
User Rating: 9.7 | Guitar Hero II PS2
Despite this game's steep price, it is well worth it. In its gigantic box comes a stylish guitar fit with stickers you can add on later. Obviously you get the disk, and finally you get the guitar strap. Im sure if you are browsing around you hae seen the controler, but it is red or black, comes with five different colored fret buttons (like different notes) and is small for a guitar but gigantic for a controler. Ok, graphics. the people in your band look great, and the people aer good but there are only 3 or so different character models. When yopu play, you are given notes to play, coordinating with the fret buttons,a nd if you play the wrong note it honks. If you don't play it at all, it takes that note out of one of the great songs. If you don't play at all, you will only hear a rythm, espacilly on expert and hard. Next, the rock meter. It is a meter on how well you are playing. If you are doing great and hitting all the notes, it is green and he crowd goes nuts. If you are playing ok, you are in the yellow. If you are playing bad, you are in the red, and if you continue playing badly, you will fail the song. One way to get incredible boost on points (later) and rock meter is star power. You unlock star power by hitting all the notes in a series that are stars. Next, points. each time you hit a note, you get about 100. A chord gives you about 300. On most songs, you will get 30,000- 70,000 depenidng on your skill and the song's lenghth. Next, songs. There are a bunch of songs, 40 in total that you can play. You can also unlock about 20 songs from unknown artists. A handfulm of them are solid, fun to play songs too. Next, career mode. Career mode, as it implies, is your guitar job. You are given songs to play at a live performance and you pick 3/4 on easy and on hard all 4. The better you play the more$ you get. You can spend your cash at the store by buying new guitars, new guitar finishes, charcters, songs, and extras. Next to last, practice mode. One of the best improvemets of teh game. Here you can practice hard songs, section by section, at different speeds. This will get you through this game's hard songs a lot eaiser. And yes, hard and exppert have CRAAAZZZZZZY solos that you will need to practice.Finally, (its over, soory)difficulty. the last game had a more balanced difficulty, but it doesnt matter. It will challenge you and you will get frustrqtd, but its all worht it. Overall, this is one of the best games i own and i love it. if you dont have it, get it now!
