I have picked up my electric guitar countless times to try and play. needless to say i fail miserebly each time.
then i get guitar hero 2. A port of the PS2 game with added songs and hidef graphics. WOW! What an awesome game. 70+ Songs, tons of venues and different characters. After playing 10 hours or so of this game the past 3 days I feel like I AM A ROCK GOD ! My hand has so much more coordination than it ever did! And i think carpel tunnell. lol
The guitar controller is such a innovative idea! Its roughly 1/2 the size of a real guitar. It looks priceless when its around my 3 year old daughters neck. lol. YOu can move easy and find the buttons. They even give u 2 sheets of stickers to "customize" your guitar. The only grip is that its wired, but im sure a wireless one will be on the way!
anyways, just had to rave about this game. Anyone else pick it up? Anyone else not able to put it down?
I would have to easily give it a 10/10 . BEST GAME .... EVER !
OH! and the best thing, they will have downloadable content on XBL ! Songs confirmed for (supposedly) next week are...... OZZY - Bark at the Moon and RHCP - Higher Ground
Thanks, for your review. I think you've you've convinced me to shell out the $90 for the package. I would just like to point out that the it has been confirmed that there will not be a wireless guitar controller because Microsoft has refused to give 3rd parties the tools necessary to develop wireless products. They want to keep the wireless technology proprietary, as a way to force their customers into buying 1st party controllers accessories.
I'll most likely pick it up at Circuit City either tonight or tomorrow. They are giving away an XBox Live Marketplace Card (1600 Points) with the purchase of GHII 360.

I picked it up Tuesday as well. Have of course heard much about it but this is my first experience with it. I agree with Dave completely, just an awesome game. Rockin' thru "Surrender" just put a huge grin on my face. Big from me!!

Re: Guitar Hero 2 - XBOX 360 Review - Opinions
I started on Medium and am working my way slowly through the tour - got to Vans Warped last night. My scores are nothing to write home about - mainly 3-stars - but I have yet to fail a song in Medium. Tried a couple in Hard and failed miserably - also intentionally failed one in Easy to get the corresponding Achievement.
Main thing I want to do at this point is get all the tunes unlocked. The I'll go back and work on beefing up my scores.

I'm glad that they're making the GH1 songs available to X360 players via download. Hopefully the X360-exclusive tracks will eventually be made available to PS2 players.

I sold my PS2 Guitar Hero 1 and 2 to a buddy so I could pick up the 360 version.
It's a damn good port; the graphics are way better, the animation seems a bit smoother. The guitar seems a bit tighter, too, on the hits. I also prefer the neck design.
The new songs are pretty rockin' and I just love the new set lists.
