Amazon.com Product Description

RedOctane's follow-up to the critically acclaimed rhythm game, Guitar Hero II comes to Xbox 360 and features a huge track list, more venues and new play modes than in the original game, and a goal to rock longer and harder than its predecessor. In this new release RedOctane has once again teamed up with veteran music game developer Harmonix for the sequel, and is using famed recording studio WaveGroup for its music production, who also recorded the covers for the licensed tracks in the original Guitar Hero.

Form your guitar duo and shred riffs cooperatively or go head-to-head in all new multiplayer modes. With over 70 tracks to rock out to, you'll go from Guitar Hero to Guitar god in one press of a fret button. Choose from multiple rock characters and jam at concert venues that grow in size as your rock career progresses. You'll start your rock career playing small clubs and bars, but if you play well you'll work your way up to stadiums and arenas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hours of fun!!, September 1, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought Guitar Hero 2 originally for Playstation 2 when it first came out and then it out later for Xbox 360 so I bought this game also because it had better graphics and some extra songs.This game is really fun I can play it for hours and not get bored of it.I play it on medium because I find it difficult to press the orange button on hard mode.This game has a lot of great songs,but not all of the songs are good,some of the cover songs are not done very well like "Killing In The Name","Them Bones",and "Institutionalized". Besides the covered songs the rest of the game is fun and I think this game has better songs than Guitar Hero 3. This game has a unlockable songs,costumes,and guitars.My guitar that came with X-plorer guitar which is my favorite guitar,I own the Les Paul guitar and its not as comfortable.I do think that these games should have more newer bands like Chevelle,Three Days Grace,Breaking Benjamin,and Bullet For My Valentine.

My favorite songs are "Freebird","Crazy On You","Them Bones"and "Laid To Rest".

Pros: 70 songs,unlockable costumes,comfortable guitar,hours of fun,difficult on hard and expert modes,improved graphics

Cons: should of got newer bands,covered songs

3.0 out of 5 stars I PLAYED GH3 FIRST, June 1, 2008
Id like to start off saying that I played GH3 before I ever played this game. I noticed that the hammer ons are much harder to pull off in this game but songs are easier to complete. For $20 though you cant go wrong, great song list though the downside is that they aren't sung by the original artists.
I gave this 3 stars because the visuals are poor, when you star power the whole screen shakes and non-original artists. Just consider all of this when GH Aerosmith and GH4 are just around the corner!

4.0 out of 5 stars Guitar Hero 2, April 29, 2008
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
Guitar Hero 2 is pretty good the only downfall is that i wish a majority of the songs were done by the original band. Other than that the songs are still fun to play and the difficulty is still pretty intense.
