Super , Smashing, Great (2008-06-16)

I own this and Guitar hero 3 and I play this more. I think this has a better song list than 3. Cracking game

Great! (2008-06-01)

When I first started playing this, I found it very hard to play but as soon as I did the tutorials, the game became much easier. The tutorials are simple and easy to understand. All of the songs are great especially the bonus ones. When the game is loading, it gives hints or facts that will help you and there is also a very handy practice mode. I absolutley love the multiplayer mode because I always beat my friends in the face-off, but you can also earn new bass guitars in the co-op mode. The only problem with this game is that if you play on it for long enough, it can hurt your wrist, but I think it's worth it.

guitar hero 2 rocks!!!! (2007-07-04)

What a fantastic game!!! Following many a drunken 'guitar hero' night over a mates house, I have finally ordered my own so I can practice every night and kick her arse!!! I cant wait for it to arrive. Great fun for everyone!!! Highly recommended to all you wanna be rockers out there!!!

Brillant but 1 Fault For Me (2007-01-07)

The Game Play Is Brilliat, The In Game Venues and Gigs are Better than Guitar Hero 1, The Only Thing That Disappointed me was the lack of well know songs. Guitar Hero 1 had a lot of bands and songs that everyone has heard of, but unless your a music buff, i don't think there is a lot of famous bands or songs.It Still Rocks!!! though

Brilliant!! (2006-12-09)

I was dubious when I first heard of Guitar Hero, and therefore didn't buy the original game. But, when I found myself looking for a different challenge to the Dance Mat games I thought why not? and bought Guitar Hero 2. All I can say is WOW, everyone should own this game. The first day I bought it, I was sucked in by the sheer entertainment of it all. I played until my wrists were aching. My girlfriend had a couple of tries on it, and was so impressed that I rushed out (on a Saturday just before Xmas!!) to buy another controller so we could go head to head. It is just so much fun, and although it requires a basic level of hand eye co-ordination, basically anyone can play it!. I'd never had any urges to be in a rock band, but playing this gives you such a buzz - it means you can perform really good guitar solos without having had years of guitar tuition - instant gratification!. In terms of gameplay, there's a decent storyline for the 1 player side of things, you move from town to town performing more and more complicated tracks. If you stick to the easy level, the upside is that you only have three keys to play (and believe me when it's a fast track, you're grateful for that!), but the downside is that you can't buy new guitars, songs etc. For that you have to up the difficulty to medium or above. So far I've only attempted a few songs at the medium difficulty, choosing to concentrate on perfecting the easy difficulty first. The difficulty levels are spot on though; the problem with some games is that there's not much difference between them, but with Guitar Hero 2, that's not a problem. This gives the game good longevity, and also means that when you play multiplayer, you can each choose your own level.To summarise, this is a top game; great fun on your own, but I'd highly recommend buying a second controller, as multiplayer rocks!
