Rock on!
With the launch of the XBOX 360, Microsoft has been searching for the first game to actually bring a lot of people to it's new console. The port of Guitar Hero II is a good start. Guitar hero II in most respects is no different than its playstation counterpart. They are basically the same game. Although those that haven't yet got GH2 and have a 360 you should really pick this game up. As it fixes the hammer on pull off system and contains bonus tracks that the playstation 2 doesn't have. The explorer guitar is smaller than the old gibson, and the buttons feel closer. This is great for smaller people, but for those of a larger size (like myself) i feel like the explorer is a bit to compact and i feel like im playing with a toy instead of a real guitar. The game doesn't have online co-op, but an online leaderboard, which is perfectly fine, but i guess they didn't want to have to redo the entire game. The game runs almost as smoothly as GH2 for the PS2, except in a few moments the game kinda lags and causes you to say "what was that all about?" Other than that it has what you would expect from the guitar hero games. Adding pro face off, which is face off, but both people play the entire song on the same difficulty. It also has downloadable content for the first guitar hero just in cased you missed out on some rockin good times.
