Just from what i played whilst standing in best buy made me addicted to it. I wish my ps2 still worked :'( That and I love to play The Kinks- You Really Got Me , even if it is the van halen version (made from the real master tape tho)
I find it interesting how this and the Wii are taking a different approach to immersiveness. Rather than focusing on great graphics and sound, they get the player up and actually physically participating in the game.
However wireless guitars wouldn't be cool- more authentice to have an animated roadie scooting across the screen to reconnect after you pull the controller lead out.
I have played (& almost completed in hard mode) Guitar Hero 1 - awesome game, so I was really looking forward to Guitar Hero II, pre-ordered it & everything...but I was very let down by the lack of cool songs.
There are only a handfull of cool tracks on II (including the bonus tracks) IMO.
Also, wasn't Dragonforce supposed to be on it?
Overall the game is a let down in single player mode, because of the lack of good tracks. Practice mode is OK, but I prefer to thrash it out on the song until I get it right personally. The only thing I like about Guitar Hero II is the new co-operative playing mode.

I feel like I'm going to go to hell for saying this, but...
I'm surprised they're not selling downloadable add-on tracks for this game. Seems like a natural revenue stream. That or a program to convert your own music to GH2 tracks. Sounds like a good homebrew project
I completety agree Cthippo, I know I'd pay for a few good tracks.
It would be very cool if you could stick a CD in there & import it to the game though
Any point getting it on the PS2 and buying guitar hero I as well or should I just stick with the sequel? If I stick with GH2 then I might get the 360 version, even if the controllers look ****.
Sorry to bum the reviewers hopes, but in a recent press release, Red Octane said that MS is being hush hush with the wireless tech, so a remote guitar might not happen...
Well bit-tech isn't very big in comparison to the huge game review sites like IGN that, well, do games and thats about it.
It's also only recently come out in the UK.
Quite a few sites have news on the non-wireless 360 guitar, although it shouldn't be a problem at all really, all they need to do is stick thier own wireless stuff in a USB port like they do with the PS2 version. Not as steamlined as many would like but then it still beats having a wire. Does that mean MS are the only ones who make wireless controllers? Not wireless third party stuff?

Whats an 'uber geek' ? Every week the bit-tech staff use the word 'uber?' Am I an uber geek for reading bit-tech. Are uber geeks different from the run of the mill geek? Is the use of uber geek an attempt to separate yourselves from the main stream run of the mill geeks?

ReplyHowever one thing your review didn't mention is that there is already wireless guitar controllers out for the PS2 LINK .

Ots a good game when your hanging out, its usually out all night until we cant stand someone trying to beat freebird for the billionth time.
