1.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Strategy?, August 7, 2007

This review is from: Guitar Hero II Official Strategy Guide (Official Strategy Guides) (Paperback)

How do I master hammer-ons & pull-ofs? How do I progress from Medium to Hard or Hard to Expert? What is the best strategy for mastering the tricky parts of various songs? When is the best time to activate Star Power for maximum score?

None of these strategy questions are answered by this guide! In fact the majority of the guide is taken up with diagrams of all songs on Expert mode. I don't know if they're accurate or helpful because I'm not there yet.

There are some interviews and articles that might be entertaining to read, but the font is about 4 point and looks like it was made with a typewriter that needs a new ribbon, so I gave up trying to read them.

Save your money and skip this guide!

This book is as entertaining as Guitar Hero 2 is. There is one thing this guide did not do: It did not help me improve my Guitar Hero skill.

1.0 out of 5 stars Most Pointless Book Ever Written, November 15, 2006

I love this game and all, but the only real strategy is to practice. I'd encourage anyone who has never played Guitar Hero to try the game without this guide and put the fifteen bucks towards Guitar Hero 3.
