Strengths: Fun, even people who hate video games will try it
Weakness: Difficulty even on medium can be rough
A game that comes with a special controller usually seems gimmicky, but Guitar Hero 2 pulls it off in style. Rocking out to some classic and new tunes is a blast. Easy difficulty lets you get your fingers used to moving, and medium kicks your butt. With the inevitable Guitar Hero 3 about to release, with a cordless guitar even, you might want to save for that instead. But pick this up when it...
Strengths: Xplorer controller feels great, same guitar hero gameplay makes its way to Xbox 360, downloadable content, extra tracks, XBL leaderboard support
Weakness: wired controller only, downloadable content is overpriced and rehashed GH1 tracks, no online multiplayer
Guitar Hero 2 Xbox 360 is virtually identical to the PS2 version with some more tracks and DLC. It boasts online leaderboards to compare your scores with the rest of the world. The controller feels great, actually better than the PS2 guitar. It is only wired however, so be sure to buy USB extensions if you play far from your X360. It has downloadable content but as of now, there's only 4 packs...
Strengths: Fun Gameplay, Nice visuals & interface, Guitar looks cool
Weakness: No online co-op, Song selection could have been better
GH2 is a fun game & is played with the new guitar controller for xbox 360. You press buttons to match the notes appearing on screen & if you do good you can rock with some really nice numbers that come with the package. There are some good tutorials for the beginners & also you have varying difficulty levels to chose from. So the game is suited for all age groups. I was expecting the song...
Strengths: Enhanced graphics, a handful of new songs, Leaderboards, great gameplay
Weakness: None really, except that the promissed DLC is just GH1 songs bundled at rediculous prices
By now, you already know if you like the Guitar Hero franchise or not. GH2 on the 360 is still a great game, and the added bonuses make it just a little bit better than on PS2. While the new songs aren't enough to warrant a purchase if you already have the PS2 version (though they are excellent and do not feel tacked on), it's a nice bonus for new players. The online leaderboards also present a...
Strengths: +Unique experience on the 360 +Guitar feels natural/authentic +replay ability +co-op/ multiplayer +large song selection +guitar should be playable with Rock Band and GH3
Weakness: -only wired -$$$ downloadable songs -Selection of songs -Decent graphics -Seep learning curve
Guitar Hero 2 is definitely a unique experience for 360 owners. Similar to Dance Dance Revolution, you use a guitar and match the button combinations shown on screen. The crowd you play in front of will either cheer or boo depending on how your song performance. As you progress through the game you unlock new songs/costumes. The guitar itself is very sturdy and feels just right. This game allows...
Strengths: 1)Pure awesomeness in plastic guitar controller form 2) Great set list, even the bonus songs from indie bands are fun to play 3) Great party game, tons of replay value
Weakness: 1) Prepare to weep when making the jump from Medium to Hard 2) Promised downloadable content has been slow to arrive and what is available is a little pricey
Having long given up my dream of rocking sold out arenas and stadiums; Guitar Hero has given me a nice feel for what might have been. This game is just great fun to play. I had never played much guitar prior to trying Guitar Hero, but have been hooked ever since my first encounter with a demo unit a few month's before the game's release. The set list is great with many songs I had never heard...
Strengths: One of the most fun games ever - innovative experience
Weakness: None
I actually own GH1 and GH2 for PS2, before getting this. If you own the PS2 copy already, you get a few extra songs on top of the existing game. Its probably not worth the $90 just for that, unless you are a true achievement points nerd. I actually prefer the ps2 controller over the xbox as well. I don't know what it is, but i seem to miss more notes with the 360 version. If you only have a 360...
Strengths: Fun, addicting, FUN, easy to learn .. and FUN!
Weakness: Harder levels get HARD. Like, really hard.
I'm not even a huge fan of rock music and I find this game to be a load of fun! I am more of a DDR fan, but I guess now I can relate to all rythyme based games. It's easy to learn, however the harder the levels..the more harder it gets. It DOES get hard, but it's more of an incentive to practice and keep playing!
Strengths: Fun Gameplay
Weakness: Maybe Repetitive
This is a great game just like the first game. All the songs are interesting and pretty fun to play. The tracks from the first game was better in my opinion but there are good songs in this one as well. It's also good for 360 because you can download new songs.

Every once in a while, a game comes out that brings everyone together. The kind of game that is as much fun to watch as it is to play and no matter what your age, you can't help but smile as the action unfolds. Why do I know this? Because I am the proud owner of what has been the most enjoyable gaming experience I have had in recent months, Guitar Hero. From my son to my brother-in-law to the...

Get it for your kids
Strengths: Unique, clever, great replay value
Weakness: too hard for old people
I got this for my son, who is a musician and a video game addict, without realizing the danger ;) the game is very well thought out with the different stages, costumes, instruments, etc. I have nothing against shooters, although I do get tired of the genre. It's nice to have a cool alternative to killing stuff alla time. The different levels of difficulty is a good idea and adds to the replay...
