This game is so much fun, highly recommend having a go at it!

It's a sturdy enough plastic guitar with 5 buttons along fret board, a shaped button to strum and a whammy bar... the notes on screen scroll towards you, you just strum and hit matching fret button and your away, hit the whammy on long notes and rock on!

Ace of Spades
Bark at the Moon
Cochise
Cowboys From Hell
Crossroads
Fat Lip
Frankenstein
Godzilla
Heart Full of Black

For Those About to Rock With Guitar Hero II, We Salute You!
RedOctane Announces Fall US Tour Date
Sequel to Award-Winning Music Videogame to Be Unveiled at E3; Choose Your Weapon â€" Rhythm, Lead or Bass Guitar

- April 17, 2006 - Sunnyvale, CA

Get ready for a rock encore! RedOctane® announced today that Johnny Napalm and friends will begin touring the US again this Fall in the new videogame “Guitar Hero IIâ"¢â€. Picking up where Guitar Heroâ"¢ left off, Guitar Hero II arrives with a new track list, new venues and additional play modes â€" including the ability to transform the original Gibson SG Guitar Hero Controller into a rhythm, lead or bass guitar.

“Guitar Hero has proved phenomenally successful! Guitar Hero veterans will be able to plug in their Gibson SG Guitar Hero Controllers and rock GH II straight out of the box,†said Kelly Sumner, CEO of RedOctane. “We will really push the envelope with Guitar Hero II. Despite the fact there are many months until release, we’re already implementing exciting features and innovations. This fall we’re going to rock everyone’s world all over again.â€

The top-secret sequel song list remains firmly in the rock domain, pulling from a mix of classic rock, ‘hair’ metal, heavy metal, modern rock, and alternative ***les. More than 55 songs will be featured in the next installment.

Veteran music videogame developer Harmonix® Music Systems has been busy in-studio, enriching this rockstar experience with more features and multiplayer modes. In addition to the traditional head-to-head competition, Multiplayer Co-op Mode allows players to collaborate in order to beat songs, with each guitarist playing a separate guitar track. Available guitar tracks include lead, rhythm or bass tracks, depending upon the song. The Guitar Hero SG Controller used in the first installment will also be compatible with the new game.

Guitar Hero II is the follow-up to 2005’s award-winning release, “Guitar Hero,†which rocked the game industry and garnered a stack of awards including: “Best Offline Multiplayer Game 2005†and “Music Game of the Year 2005†from IGN.com, and “Best Soundtrack 2005†at the Spike TV Videogames Awards. Recently, it picked up five awards at the D.I.C.E. Summit's Interactive Achievement Awards including Outstanding Innovation in Gaming and Family Game of the Year.

RedOctane has confirmed an early glimpse of the upcoming game will be available during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles next month.

The game that has inspired a nation of wannabe rock stars to achieve video game greatness is scheduled for a new US tour on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system in November 2006.[/b]

I really want to get this, however I refuse to pay £40 por a game just because it has a special gadget.

i played this game at dobrien7's place on sunday night and it was better than on saturday night. we realised you can also play it with the normal controller which is cool for 2 player but using the controller is easier because you dont have to strum

there is no fun in it, just makes it a lot easier

i was reading that in Guitar Hero 2, in 2 player you can have one player going as lead guitar and the other playing bass or rhythum guitar. man i cant wait for that
 
Just need a set of drums and there can be a plastic band... we'll own a copy of this addictive game come Friday :gat: :bananarock:
:cheers:
