An okay sequel to a killer game

User Rating: 8.3 | Guitar Hero II PS2

While the gameplay may have been altered only slightly to make it easier the overall package isn't nearly as good as the first one. The gameplay is the same except that they made Hammer ons and pulloffs a trillion times easier but I don't feel it's better because it is too easy to do them now. The other change is annoying as hell and that would be if you mess up your fretboard shakes and it is so annoying it makes me scream.

Graphically it surpasses the first game with backgrounds and stuff like that. The character models don't seem as hardcore and cool as they did in the first game. Overall the minor improvements are nothing compared to the drastic step backwards with character models.

The sound easiuly the most important part of a rythm game. This game has a forgettable sound track with only 2 or 3 standouts in the larger yet considerably weaker song list.

The added songs are good but they just won't keep you interested because you can just pop the first one in and play good songs instead of weak songs with crazier riffs. Although multiplayer makes it better it adds value wioth it.
