Guitar Hero II for PlayStation 2

Pros: tons of songs, lots of extras, improved 2 player mode, excellent selection of songs
Cons: may unintentionally draw your child away from real instruments.

And I finally stop for long enough to type up a review after I bandage my now callused throbbing hands. For once, parents can be satisfied; Guitar Hero 2 is no mindless violence inducing game that will corrupt your children to a life of crime in some ...

Pros: fun songs that are easy AND difficult, Avenged Sevenfold's "Beast and the Harlot"
Cons: getting angry and bashing your controller against the wall

It hurts me to admit, but I completely missed out on the original Guitar Hero era back in the day (2005). GH is basically the rocker man’s Dance Dance Revolution. All the Friday nights of rocking out with my trusty Six String Air Guitar in ...

Pros: Different from nearly anything else you've played!
Cons: Music isn't by the original artists, characters aren't very customizable.

My first experience with the newest gaming genre, music games, came in the form of Rock Band. Working backwards, I've since acquired Guitar Hero II which is nearly without peer in the gaming world. The only thing like Guitar Hero II that I've seen is ...

Pros: Truly fun game for wannabe guitarists
Cons: None, absolutely perfect.

Guitar Hero II is the perfect PlayStation 2 game for a young teenager or preteen or, lets face it, fantasizing grownup, interested in making music, learning a little about playing a guitar and above all, wanting to "play" to an audience which cheers ...

Pros: Fun Songs, Really Good Party Game, Varying Levels of Difficultly Provide Hours of Fun!
Cons: A Few Minor Things

Guitar Hero is one of those games that just seemed destined to be created and be very successful. After the release of PS2/X Box/ect. games that use something other than a standard controller. I'd say the most notable one is Dance Dance Revolution, which ...

Pros: You can Finally Set the Air Guitar Down and learn some tabs...
Cons: You'll need to keep some Ben Gay handy for those finger cramps!

Guitar Hero II may be the second chapter in the Guitar Hero series, but it is by no means second best. Published by RedOctane/Activision and developed by Harmonix Music Systems, Guitar Hero II rocked its way onto our TV screens in November of 2006. ...

Pros: Great game, good songs, fun and challenging.
Cons: Not "as good" as Guitar Hero 3, not very challenging.

Guitar Hero The first Guitar Hero game I played was the 80’s version. I’ve played games like DDR for a long time and when I got to play GH, it was quickly addicting. After playing GH 80’s, about a week, we went on a 6 hour trip ...

Pros: Large variety of songs, nice division of difficulty levels, fun guitar designs
Cons: weak song list (compared to others)

Somebody had a brilliant idea. Games can simulate shooting, flying, even living. Why not simulate playing music? (Thankfully that took the route of rock rather than country….*shudder*). I unwittingly got caught up in the Guitar Hero craze when I was ...

Pros: Progressive difficulty, Star Power, large track list
Cons: Multiplayer not as well thought out as solo play.

Before R ock Band, my brother and I found Guitar Hero 2. We've all seen it on display at Best Buy and Walmart, but picking up the controller makes you feel stupid or grade-school. However, despite that, it caught my ...

Pros: Tons of songs, great multiplayer, fun, easy to learn, practice mode
Cons: Some death metal is grating, mainly covers of originals, will eat up your free time

Finally, a follow-up game that's as good or better than the original! Guitar Hero II, the long-awaited sequel to the original game from 2005, packs in more songs, improved graphics, more challenging note patterns, an easier user interface, and vastly ...

Pros: Tremendous fun. Long game play and all ages can enjoy.
Cons: Guitar controls are costly.

For my birthday, I begged my husband to buy me Guitar Hero 2. I'd played the first version at my brother's house and knew he was buying me a PS2 for my birthday. For those who may be scoffing, I'm a thirty-something woman with a thirteen-year-old son ...

Pros: Exposes people to music that actually required skill and talent to create and play
Cons: Makes people think that somehow what they're doing relates to actually playing a real instrument

For starters, the sound isn't necessary, is it? You can still play the game visually, with the sound turned off. As a game without sound, what do you have? Colored blobs dropping to a line at which point you press a corresponding button. Sure, ...

Pros: Fun game for entire family
Helps build finger dexterity
Cons: Your fingers and wrist can get sore with too much play
a bit expensive

My brother in Law received Guitar Hero 2 for his Birthday a few months ago. I must say it is the best video game out there. This is a game the entire family can enjoy from around age 8 or 9 through 99. When you buy Guitar Hero you get a ...

Pros: Good Song Selection, and everything else
Cons: Makes Wrist Tired

Guitar Hero II is a great game with a large selection of characters, guitars, songs, and more. This game will surely get you hooked the first time you play. This game is pretty easy to catch on to, and you can get it in a couple of minutes. But if ...

Pros: Fun and entertaining. Content appropriate for all ages.
Cons: Highly addictive. May be difficult to use for small children.

Being a huge fan of the first Guitar Hero, I preordered this game when opportunity first knocked...and it was worth it! In this second installment of the Guitar Hero series, players will find themselves swamped with an impressive and lengthy song ...
