Guitar Hero II (game only) (PlayStation 2, 2006)

Guitar Hero II, as you likely already know, improved on the original by adding A great guitar/bass duet mode, more real-world gear endorsements, encores, and “Freebird.” I heard some complaints from people that felt the soundtrack could have used more “hits,” but I honestly liked having a few more dark horses in the race. Those whiners should be happy that quite a few of the 10 new songs are well-known songs by the likes Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Rick Derringer, Rancid, and Toadies. Also, I couldn’t fail to mention just how crucial the inclusion of “The Trooper” is – Maiden’s scorching leads have no peer in the world of metal.
