Critic Reviews
- Minor quibbles with the soundtrack aside (it really is excellent, just not as excellent as the first game's), Guitar Hero II is everything you'd want in a sequel to a rhythm-based game. It might be tailored more for experienced players than complete newcomers, but that's not a bad thing, and the new multiplayer modes and practice options are excellent.
Tom Orry · Jun 13, 2007 Reviewed on X360Read full review - That 360 owners can now see what PS2 owners have been enjoying so much over the last couple of years with the Guitar Hero series, and do it with even more added content, is a fantastic thing. The track list is gigantic, the multiplayer is a great deal of fun, the practice mode is a godsend, and the downloadable content is sure to give this game a long shelf life.
Alex Navarro · Apr 03, 2007 Reviewed on X360Read full review - That same-screen multiplayer is actually enough; we were disappointed not to see online play, but frankly, there's something to be said for talking trash in the same room and/or elbowing your opponent in the ribs while they try to solo. Buy this game. The content is plentiful (and crucially, more is en route) and the fantasy experience is pure rock and roll excess. Your personal stairway to heaven awaits.
Dan Amrich · Apr 02, 2007 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Guitar Hero II on Xbox 360 is the best iteration of the hit music rhythm game yet, but it's also an important addition to the Xbox 360 library. On a console dominated by shooters and action titles, it is one of the few titles that everyone can and will enjoy. RedOctane and Harmonix put their best foot forward with this release.
Erik Brudvig · Mar 30, 2007 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Here, though, you've got even more songs to choose from, learn and master with the tunes from the first game on the way too through the Live Marketplace. And with the improved mechanics of the second game, the old songs work even better - Bark At The Moon's once nigh-impossible solo is now made a hell of a lot easier while Frankenstein goes from being a chore to an absolute delight.
Graham Swann · Apr 06, 2007 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Au final, ce second volet du simulateur de guitare donne le sentiment d'être une évolution technique de l'original, oubliant un peu (trop) les gros riffs qui parlent à tout un chacun pour se concentrer sur des morceaux très véloces qui plairont sans aucun doute aux joueurs déjà expérimentés mais qui laisseront les néophytes sur le carreau.

Trailers & Screenshots:
RedOctane's follow-up to the critically acclaimed rhythm game. Guitar Hero II features a brand-new and expanded track list, more venues and new play modes, and aims to rock longer and harder than its predecessor. 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. The Xbox 360 version also adds 10 new songs, downloadable content features, leaderboards and online features, plus support for the Guitar Hero X-Plorer guitar controller.
