Guitar Hero II

At long last, after many long months of waiting... The sequel to Guitar Hero has been released: Guitar Hero II As good as the first one was (and it was very very good) the second one is superior in every way. It's the highest rated game on Metacritic right now and that just rates goodness. Suffice it to say that no game has rocked harder.

Are there doubts?

Do you doubt me?

Well then doubters, chew on this: the final boss in the game is a Lynyrd Skynyrd song. There's a Police song in this one. Jane's Addiction's Stop is in the game too. Not a cover version, the original master track. Also: Trogdor. And 56 more songs.

Oh, did I mention 2 player? Let me check... no, apparently not. One person plays lead and the other plays bass (or rhythm).

Decades of air guitar culminate in this game. It's exhilarating and immensely fun, and ever more fun in cooperative mode.

For PlayStation 2.
