  Guitar Hero II **Rock N Roll All Night Long**
Review created: 05/14/07
19 of 22 people found this review helpful.

Guitar Hero. Its the title that most people who love rock music wish to attain someday. In November of 2005 a company called Red Octane launched a game named Guitar Hero which let us faithful rock fans feel like they were indeed a hero of rock. Now in April of 2007 that very same company has re-released the sequel to the original Guitar Hero onto the Xbox 360. Lets get down to the nitty gritty here...what you people came here to find out about the game.

Gameplay: 10/10

Guitar Hero 2 features simple gameplay. A fretboard scrolls towards the screen and notes of five different colors (green, red, yellow, blue, and orange) move towards the bottom. The player must press the corresponding fret button on the neck of the guitar and the strum to play the note. With each 10 successful notes played the guitarist attains the next level of multiplier(x4 max) although a missed note causes the players multiplier to diminish back to zero. Continuing to miss notes will cause the players rock meter or health meter to deplete. Once it reaches zero the player fails the song and must start over. Certain starred notes will give the player star power which they can activate to double their current multiplier(x8 max) and lasts until their meter runs out.
Non-bonus songs are sorted into 8 sets. If a player can manage to pass their required number of songs without failing three times they are granted the chance to perform an encore song that is usually harder than the rest of the songs in the set. This song isn't required to advance but usually provides a lot of fun.

Graphics: 9/10

The graphics in the 360 version aren't the best of the 360 but are far superior to the PS2 version. Characters look far more realistic and the strings can even be seen on the characters guitar. Lighting effects are very good and the animations of the characters, even the rest of the band. are very fluid and practically perfect.

Sound: 10/10

Being that this is a game entirely based around playing music the sound is absolutely superb. Most of the songs in the set lists are covered by other artists. The cover artists have performed very well and the songs sound very similar to the original artists. The bonus songs are performed by their original artists so they sound like perfect reproductions.

Replay Value: Very high

Due to this being a music and rhythm game players will want to go back and keep achieving higher scores on their favorite songs and even be able to beat those songs on higher difficulties. The multiplayer aspect of the game adds a whole new reason to keep playing.

Overall rating: 9/10

Buy or Rent? Buy it if you can afford the price-tag of $90...otherwise try to rent it or borrow it from a friend

  PS2 mega hit comes to Xbox 360 with more reasons 2 rock
Review created: 04/11/07

Guitar Hero II
The PS2 mega hit comes to Xbox 360 with more reasons to rock than ever before.
Everyone should own a Guitar Hero game. If you haven't played it yet, you really don't know what you're missing. The music rocks. Playing with a guitar shaped controller rocks. Jamming with a friend rocks. Did we mention that the game rocks? Everything from the presentation to the gameplay in Guitar Hero II is universally appealing. If you haven't already played Guitar Hero II on PS2, this is a must own game. Even if you already have done all of this before, you may yet find a reason to grab the Xbox 360 re-release. With reworked graphics, sound, new songs, downloadable content and more, this is easily the best Guitar Hero game yet.

Introductions are in order. While PS2 owners have enjoyed the Guitar Hero franchise for a couple of years now, this is the first time any guitar music game has appeared on a Microsoft console. The premise behind the franchise began years ago with Konami's Guitar Freaks but didn't grip the mainstream in the US until RedOctane teamed up with developer Harmonix. The two companies put together a special controller to accompany the release of an all new franchise, Guitar Hero. If you haven't heard about it yet, it's high time you came joined the party. Guitar Hero and its sequel have been massive successes financially and critically and with good reason. Who doesn't want to step into the shoes of Keith Richards or Eddie Van Halen and shred some classic licks? We all do. And now 360 owners can join their PS2 brethren in rocking out.

All of the songs and sights from the PS2 version of Guitar Hero have made it over to Xbox 360, though they've gone through a bit of a facelift during the move. That means that the praises and issues with that game hold true for the most part. Rather than rehashing old news in this review or explaining gameplay mechanics laid out in previous releases, we'll ask that you head over to the PS2 review if you're unfamiliar with the game. If you need even more of a background, you can always start from the beginning with our original Guitar Hero review.

It should be noted that if you own a PS2 Guitar Hero controller, it isn't going to work on the Xbox 360 version. You'll have to buy a new one.

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my EBay account status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your Free gift or your selected item for free; No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own personal link after your orders placed.

I Have purchased an item from the user goldstar-gaming. After purchasing, I started to viewed the Item description again, suddenly, I see an outline that claims the user does not ship to Canada, hence I have already won the auction, I was confused and sent questions to the user. However the user does not reply any of my emails therefore I started to look at his feedbacks of previous buyer and I saw many negative feedbacks that had a problem identical as mine. Also!!, there were feedbacks that stated the items were broken. To absolute give a review of this user, I do not think he is a trustworthy seller, and have many flaws in his items that he needs to make up!!

I like the songs it has all kinds of good 80's songs.
I also like the xplorer guitar that came with my bundle very easy to use.
I dont like that there is no story line to it really at all.
They need to make it a story line type game like THPS 4 or even like NFS games but they didnt thats the only thing i really dont like about this game

Most of the songs are a bit slower then anyother level. If you can play expert on this game you usually can play hard on the other games. But i still like guitar hero, they need to get a better selection of songs. i am soooo tired of the lame songs that someone picks. they need to do a poll or something similar to that.

Great! Really fun game with awesome songs. It's great for a family game because you can battle each other and brings back memories of those who were alive when the songs came out. Overall, great product!

Review created: 06/19/08

I love the fact that it came to me quickly and packaged and shipped in a very professional manner. The only ding I can give it is that, I knew it was an open box return from a major retailer so taking a chance on everything working as it should did not pan out. The game was in perfect shape, guitar and also sticker were never applied all the sillica packs in the box, but the wammy bar on the guitar did not function as it should. The rest of it did just fine. My guess is that is why it became an open box return. This will be an easy fix and do not regret the purchase in any way. I will be looking at this seller for other purchases in the future.
thanks

  Decent, but nothing special
Review created: 06/18/08

The Xbox 360 version of this game gives only a handful of new stuff compared to the ps2 version. The new songs are great as well as the downloadable content....which is only OK because they're guitar her I songs....and they're not really cheap but they come in packs of 2 or more per download. The graphics are slightly better. Overall....not worth getting if you've exhausted the ps2 version.

Not as good as guitar hero 3, no battle with other bosses, no online playability, not the best songs, but when you run out of guitar hero 3 songs to play, this satisfies the craving for $20!!

It is ok I bought it basically for the Guitar. I have Guitar Hero III and wanted another Guitar to play around with. As for the Guitar Hero II the songs stink and more thank 1/2 no one ever heard of. But that is for all of the hero's they need to use more popular songs or at least popular bands.
Thanks
