Ok... So I guess I was happy about Guitar Hero II earlier. Guess what??? Not anymore! I am disappointed with the darn thing. I paid about $90.00 after taxes for a game that definitely did not meet my expectations. Why? Tell you why:
I was not able to do chat thru the guitar unless I had the game running. Why would you like to chat on a game that has such a horrible static every two to 5 mins and you can't understand anything at all during that time.
A guitar cable that is about 5 feet long. I will love to sit down on the sofa, or just stand back for a bit but... The cable is too short. I have a solution though. Get a USB cable extension. It's just a few more bucks after paying 90 dollars for the game itself...
So yeah... You need XBOX live, and you have a headset port right on the guitar, but you can't play Co-op unless you are on the same console. NICE ONE! Am just gonna have my friend over EVERY DAY so we can play. C'mon Red Octane! You know you did it just so you can release another one with online Co-op. Me and my friend spent soo much money just so we can play online and we didn't even get to. :( He even tried to find where he can download additional songs from and it was not available. I must say for such a cheap looking guitar, no online gaming, when even UNO has online gaming and some much distortion during chat when Halo 2 is an original XBOX game and the chat is better, it's pretty lame from Guitar Hero II to have this issues, when waaay cheaper games have done above and beyond this. I tell you what, tomorrow am going back to the store I want my money back. Guitar Hero II definitely not worth $90.00! Be aware fellow gamers, it is not worth that much money.
