Makes you feel like Slash

User Rating: 9.4 | Guitar Hero II (Game only) X360
Guitar Hero II is flat out one of the most fun and addictive games I've ever played. If you love rock or especially metal, this game is a must own. It's a ton of fun to play on your own, but it's also one of the best party games out there. The reason for the addictive quality is twofold. One, the gameplay at it's core is incredibly simple. It's "Simon Says" with a guitar. On the easy level, even your girlfriend can rock out pretty successfully. That makes the game really accessible to everyone. No button combos or using two sticks and trigger buttons at once. The second reason is that, while it's easy to learn, its very difficult to master. Don't even attempt the elite level until you have a solid 30+ hours with this game! Since success is measured by score and accuracy, and the game has a built-in online leaderboard, you always are trying to shoot for a better score.
On the higher difficulty levels, you are shuffling fingers, bending notes, and moving up and down the fretboard like a real guitarist. Awesome.

Lastly, it's just FUN. Few things bring me more joy than feeling like I'm really kicking out "Sweet Child O Mine". No more air guitar... now you can really play it!
