Manufacturer's Description
Guitar Hero II lets you become a virtual guitar god in one press of a fret button. Use the included Gibson X-Plorer controller to rock the rhythm, lead, and bass guitar track on more than 60 songs (including 10 exclusive to the 360 version). Practice mode helps you rise rapidly from guitar zero to hero. In no time, you’ll be able to show your skills to the world by unlocking special Guitar Hero II Xbox LIVE achievement points and posting your scores to the Xbox LIVE leaderboard. You’ll also be able to download themes, picture packs, and--most importantly--new songs through Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Customer Reviews

Words cannot describe the awesomeness...
...seriously, they can't! It's truly amazing!

I have had the game for 2 days now, and have barely stopped to breathe due to it's addictiveness. If you buy this game you will be playing it for an unbelievable amount of time, you just cannot help yourself!

Before i bought this game, i had never played any previous versions of Guitar Hero and was at first a little cautious about whether or not i should venture into the world of rhythmic music games... but I tell you now, i have not been more pleased with a purchase for a very long time.

"£65!" you're probably thinking, as i did, but once you've got the guitar in you hands, you've put the game in your 360 and you're up and running, you will realise that you have made the right decision, because this game is easily the best game i have played yet in terms of pure fun, the wide range of skill levels available, and the abilty to just pick up and play the game.

You dont have to worry about trying to remember where your charcter was the last time you saved your game, or other annoyances that you might come across were you to pick up an old RPG you havn't played in a while. With Guitar Hero II you just pickup and play. It couldnt be simpler.

Not only this, but the song list you have at your finger tips is great! With a wide range of styles and a briliant fusion of new tracks (DEAD!- My Chemical Romance) and old classics (Sweet Child O' Mine- Guns n' Roses)
you will be sure to find something you will love.

So to conclude, yeah, you could spend a lot less on some other 360 game. And yeah it might provide you witha small amount of entertainment. But will it compare to Guitar Hero II for Xbox 360? No... no i don't think it will.

Rock'o'rama!
I can't really say anything that any of the fine people to review this before me haven't. I'd just like to reinforce how absolutely essential this game is. I bought it the other day about an hour after playing the ps2 version at a friends house and have not stopped playing it since! The only quibble I have is that, when attempting to "rock out" (flip-up-the-controller thing)it might take a few tries and seems a lot less sensitive than the ps2 version. Then again maybe it's just mine. Forget your fancy graphics, storylines and headshots. All you need is your xplorer, some space and a *lot* of practice.

Set aside plenty of time ! ! ! !
I bought this my sons birthday present and 3 hours after plugging it into the 360 console he finally got to have ago on it.... only because I had to go to work...! ! !
The game is utterly addictive. You know you can play better, you want to play better and thankfully the songs play at 4 speeds with "slowest" being your only option to start with. As you start you're quickly told as you hit bum notes...and your delight increases as you manage to strum along successfully....If your console is linked to your hifi the game becomes even more incredible... you just can't put the guitar down, which is just big enough for an adult to use. The cost is soon justified when you consider the amount of time everyone will play with this piece of kit.
An absolutely refreshing change from shoot-em-ups, role plays, racing etc.
