Guitar Hero II

Guitar Hero II wins four stars from me because it has an excellent training mode that is missing from the original. That's the only major difference between the two games, other than the songs.

The sequel improves greatly on an already superb product with an in-depth training mode, a song list that holds up just as well as the original, and multiplayer that includes cooperative play. Everyone should rock out to Guitar Hero II -- it's one of the best games of 2006.

As the curtain falls, GH2 will be remembered, like the original, as one of the most fun times you can have with your PS2. [Holiday 2006, p.68]

Every niggle from the original ironed out and loads of new stuff thrown in. Ace. [Christmas 2006, p.66]

Multiplayer is so much fun that it's probably worth buying the Guitar Hero II bundle even if you already own a controller from the original game.

The game is a whole lot harder than its predecessor, with a greater emphasis on speedier songs and thicker, more ludicrous solos. This does ultimately make Guitar Hero II less immediately accessible to newcomers, but odds are that even a steeper level of challenge won't stop novices or veterans from getting their rock on.

Of course, not everyone’s taste in music is the same as mine. If you like Guitar Hero II’s song selection, then you may consider it the ultimate music game; the underlying gameplay is a lot of fun.

The best Guitar Hero game of the series. One of the best soundtracks of all time in games, the best one in the franchise. It has been introduced the newest generation to the good music, specifically Rock. One of funniest games of all time, principally risking on a guitar controller. Quite funny and nostalgic. Tasteful playing this game until nowadays.

The sequel to this has cool music and very good characters on guitar hero 2

Great sequel to Guitar Hero I, supplies more of the original with better controls.

Quite the improvement over it's previous entry; as well as packed with a much better selection of songs that would satisfy the most metal-hungry person. The campaign mode was fairly improved as well, featuring a better sense of progression, plenty of satisfying encore songs, and a proper, over-the-top finale featuring Free Bird, one of the greatest songs ever made. I wish, however, that the campaign shop had been improved with more useful items, and not so much cosmetics, as they don't really appeal to me. You can still buy extra songs, that are, overall, less popular than the main ones, and two behind-the-scenes videos, which is cool. Guitar Hero II is a step forward, but could've brought a little bit more changes to the table. It was released only an year after the first installment, though, so there's a very short period in-between them. Nevertheless, I appreciate this game, and it is a GOOD experience.

I have read many positive reviews and decided to try it. I was waiting for smth. wonderful and amazing. But it doesn't give me this unfortunately. Maybe it's not an appropriate time for me for this. I'll try next month and hope that all my expectations will be alive!
