Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great followup to an already great game. The gameplay becomes more difficult quicker than it did in the first Guitar Hero, which is a good thing if you have already played the first one to death. In this version, you can choose lead, rhythm, or bass guitar. It also allows two players to play a the same time and offers a practice mode.

This is the best best best game I have played since karaoke! there are different levels you can play at and through career mode, you can unlock new songs. there is also the feature for playing against your friends or even challenge your neighbors and prove your skills. Basically there is no order to describe this game besides WOW!! with a capital W!! this game is just full of surprises and when you are having trouble with playing a song, you can practice it at 4 different speed levels. I like this game a lot practically because its challenging and something new. It can perhaps help your hands to coordinate more or in other words exercise. Depending on which version of guitar hero you get, you are only given certain amount of songs and once you finish unlocking everyone of it, there is no other ones you can unlock. But think about it like this, by the time you finish unlocking most of the songs, you'll probably going to be one level higher than how you started. Awesome game overall!! highly recommended even for people of all ages!

Sure the mini guitar strapped around you with color coded buttons on the neck may seem cheezy, but quickly it becomes nonmaterial as you get engrossed on your mission of rhythmatically pounding and strumming your way to please the crowd. It is much more rewarding than it seems. Arguably, the better of they rhythm games out there (like ddr) because it actually feels guitarish instead of dancing in a wierd way you would (hopefully) never do in public. Just dont even think about it. And after the initial hurdle, you will most likely be challenging others while wearing a mullet wig and bandana in no time. That is unless, you still have mullet hairstyle. And if thats the case... you are too cool! The sound track is rewarding and noteworthy.

The game is great. I actually played Guitar Hero II before I played the original. I got this game for my birthday and never thought to get this on my own, but since I have played it, my wife (who does not play games) has started joining in on the fun and she loves playing this game. I'm a musician as well as a music enthusiast and the song selections are fantastic. The characters and they're manerisms are cool too, however, the only time I get to pay attention to them is when my wife plays because you will be very focused!!!. This is an INTENSE game. Great for all ages. I have the original and the Guitar Hero III, and haven't started them yet, but I will update as soon as I finish them. This game will keep you coming back for more, and the great thing about it is, when you beat the game, you will have just as much fun going back and replaying several areas in order to get more money and to unlock more features of the game. THIS GAME WILL DEFINITELY BRING THE FAMILY TOGETHER FOR SOME GREAT FAMILY TIME! P.S. about the videos from the store,...It would be really cool if the videos were actually excerpts of your concerts and if you could Direct or produce your own videos,.. now that would be the stuff. Maybe that's something for the future releases.

I got this game for my daughters 13th birthday and never thought my wife and I would also get hooked on it! The guitar that comes with the game is a bit small for someone big, but is easy to use and seems to respond well to our tv's. We did have to adjust the game settings for our new high def tv, but that was easy to do. The song list brought back alot of memories from being a kid and wanting to be able to play in the band. I'd definitly tell all my friends to get this game for "their kids".

this game the i fell in love with after playing it at a riends house. this game is fun or the whole family with the music it has fun game to play and just sit back watch and listen. good music and a good game= wicked fun i would reccomend this game to anyone i love it!!!! 5 out of 5 definately

If you like hard rock, alternative rock or punk rock, this game is for you. Sure, it is a rhythm game, but instead of bouncing around on a slippery mat, you get to experience the rock star poses and the swinging guitar to give your set Star Power. I really enjoy Guitar Hero II more than Guitar Hero, because II allows you to play Bass or Rhythm guitar if you want to, but unfortunately you can't use Bass or Rhythm in single player mode. You can only use it in team mode or in practice mode. That is the other awesome thing about Guitar Here II: it has a practice mode. In practice mode, you can practice a piece of a song at a time and/or slow down the speed until you can do that riff with ease. Also, in both career and practice modes, you can look how you performed on each area of the song. This helps for improving your play so you can narrow down your trouble spots and say bye bye to barely breathin' and say hello to SMOKIN' Solos!

this game is my favorite of the guitar hero series. it has the feel of playing a guitar, yet doesnt take years to learn. this version, in my opinion, has the best music of the 3 out so far. a pricey purchase, but worth it. lots of replay value and fun for all ages.

This is one of the most popular, challenging, and most of all fun game on the ps2. It has become so popular you can record your scores and compare them to others online. If you love games, this is one you can play for hours. This is a must have.

I grabbed this one because the first Guitar HEro was cool. THis one is better. Better Songs, Better challenges.... It's VERY fun. This one is better than the 80's version by far.

This is a great product because it goes beyond the everyday game controller. I love to play it everyday, it's challenging and great fun at parties!

This game is awesome. It has a great selection of different songs to choose from, all of them fun to play.

This game is amazing. I'm a college student and when I first bought it all of my roommates made fun of me, and they thought it was sooo stupid, so I made them play one game before they made fun of it anymore, and now they are hooked on the game! It probably is the most universal game out there, my parents have even played it, and they like it. With all the different levels, everyone can find a level they can play and it can still be challenging!!!

The game is great, the music is awesome, its a blast to play and its cheap.

I purchased this game for my son's 9th birthday. It wasn't long before I was hooked! In fact, that same afternoon I went and bought a second guitar so we could challenge each other! The whole family plays (4 kids and parents) and we each have a band to progress through the club scenes on the game. It is a great game! Good clean fun even for a mom who DOESN'T play video games!

This game Rocks!!!!! I am writing this review as a mom who got this for my daughter for Christmas. It is so much fun that I had to go out and get a second guitar for myself so we could play for hours, TOGETHER!!! Yes, a video game that parents and their kids can play together. So go out get this game and get ready to become a rock star!!!

this game is fun, entertaining. and has alot of good songs! has different levels at which you can play at and it also has a practice mode and other different things you can do. Overall its a fun game to play even if you cant play a real guitar! ;) lol like me.

If you're looking for a super addicting, really fun game, this is the game for you! Nothing is more fun than rocking out like a rock star! It is also great for working on coordination. So don't discourage too quickly if you just can't get it down. It'll be worth it the more you catch on to it! Easily fills hours of boredom. :-)

Guitar Hero II is a definite improvement on Guitar Hero. They made it easier to do the hammer on and pull off moves that were really iffy in the first game. They also used the success of the first game to get an even BETTER list of hit songs for the set lists this time around. It's the rare game that builds on a prior game (Japanese hit Guitar Freaks) and makes it SO much better, but the Guitar Hero series does it! I highly recommend getting a wireless guitar for this because the game makes you want to ROCK, and it's hard to do that with wires attached!

When I first saw this game, I thought it looked stupid. I played it once and had to go get one. It's awesome! It's crazily addicting. Some games aren't as much fun when you play them alone but with this one it doesn't matter..it's awesome either way. For sure a game you want to get.
