Sounds great. Pity I don't care much for rock, so I have no motivation to play it.

Guitar Hero 2 isn't available for the Playstation 3, and I agree with you, spadge, that it is a real shame that the Playstation 2 versions of Guitar Hero can't even be played on the Playstation 3.
The Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero 2 is amazing, becuase it is the only version available that allows you to see the game in high-definition with TRUE 5.1 digital surround sound!!! And that makes the game just AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Playing your guitar and having your subwoofer and speakers rock your house is the BEST!!! And yes, Guitar Hero 2 is available for the Xbox 360 right now. In fact, Circuit City has a great deal this week where if you buy the game you get a free Microsoft Xbox Live Arcade card worth 1600 Points, which is valued at $19.99. |

For S.J.Rogers, I'm just about 30 and I loved the PS2 version, 1 and 2. If you like rock you'll love Guitar hero.
I really wish I didn't have to get this version to us the version 2 playing mechanics with the version 1 songs. Tempting, but not just I can justify the purchase. Also I've heard the 360 guitars don't play as nicely as the ps2 ones. |

Woolies tactic of not sending this to me until yesterday to get to me on their promised date of today was clearly a masterstroke - fucking twats! :(
@Sponge; yeah it's getting there, 2 or 3 cool looking Jap-style RPGs to come soon, hopefully they'll cut the mustard. Obviously there are more great games on the PS2 but it has to be said that the average quality of 360 games so far has been pretty spectacular. Lots of turkeys of course but nowhere near as many as you'd normally see on a console 18 months into its lifetime ... 360 has a LOT of 7-8+/10 games! |

I traded in my PS2 versions today for the 360 version and I'm dead happy with my choice. The first time I saw one of the venues in HD my jaw hit the floor. Still as fun as ever but yes, the 360 guitar does take some getting used to if you're used to the PS2 ones. Now I'd just like some DLC for it - I still have the "Emergance Day" Marcus Fenix icon on my Gamercard so I'd like a GH one to replace it.

Someone said the 360 guitar itself has a speaker in it, to get some cool effects from it when playing... Is this true?
Cos if so, then my guitar is teh broken. |

Put off buying the PS2 versions to wait for this! Frankly, even if I did have the PS2 version, I'd probably trade them for this, since the prospect for DLC is simply too great! Loving it - been trying to get my family hooked - and it's working :D
Achievements are great, varied and nicely paced. I think the guitar is fine... the shape doesn't bother me at all and the whammy... while a little getting used to, on the whole works perfectly fine. Can't wait for online play! I'm not sure if I'll find any colleagues to play with in person (working at Sony, they all have the PS2 version!) So online co-op it'll have to be, assuming they sort it out (although it won't be quite the same as being in the same room!) |

I play actual guitar and enjoy it. As do other people, duh. How is this game rewarding to guitar players?

Has anyone seen the TV spot for Guitar Hero II? It's the best video game commercial I've ever seen. It's on Live Marketplace right now!

Yet again Amazon have let me down on delivery - they simply sent it too late to arrive until next week. In fact it was a day after their estimated shipping date, although it sat on 'Dispatching soon' for over 24 hours so I couldn't cancel it.
To add insult to injury they have an estimated delivery of today (Saturday) and clearly state on the same page that Parcelshite don't deliver on Saturdays! I suppose if they put the real delivery estimate it would make them look crap! So I now have to wait in for a whole day or travel further to collect the parcel than driving to Amazon's own warehouse. I never use Amazon as they are shit - but I had some vouchers and thought what the hell. Never again!! |

DrunKao: Nice work! I've been watching that ad all week - I LOVE it! "Woman" is one of my favourite songs on GH2 as a result! I only wish that it actually looked like that in-game - it'd be awesome if you had to stop the meteor crashing into Earth with your awesome axe skillz!

I LOVE this game. My only disappointment is that I've waited this long to play it. In hindsight I should have picked up a cheap PS2 just for this.
So far, my personal highlights are Woman, Carry on Wayward Son and the glam-tacular Cherry Pie.

The 360 guitar is way better than the PS2 one. Also more songs through Xbox Live + high-def graphics and surround sound. Apart from that, pretty much nothing has changed, except the songs have been reorganised, some Achievements and the singer in the band seems to wear sunglasses now.
