I've owned Guitar Hero 1,2,3, Aerosmith and Rock Band 1. I've also played Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band 2. This game has the best songs in my opinion.Can't you hear me knocking - Girlfriend - Heart Shaped Box - John the Fisherman - Last Child - Life Wasted - Message in a Bottle - Possum Kingdom - Search and Destroy - Strutter - Surrender - War Pigs - Who was in my room last night - Woman - You really got me.All of these are very fun to play on my little plastic fake guitar :)Every game after this one pales in comparison as far as the song choices. (In general)If you missed this one, buy it.
Co-op mode was a great idea, and there's a better mix of genre/decade songs than the original. For some this won't make the least bit of difference, for others it can be jarring. I was very disappointed in GH3, but when I saw GH2 on sale for the new 360 I bought it - and fell in love with the series again.As a sequel GH2 picks up and improves upon almost every aspect of the original. I owned and played the heck out of the original Guitar Hero, and managed to get everyone I knew into it. It has a great mix of music, it just "feels" a lot smoother than its sequel, and the new multiplayer mode definitely adds a lot more to the series. The covers aren't terrible but the fact that there aren't more original recordings is pretty disappointing.
To put it shortly, GH2 is an improvement in gameplay (as much as rhythm based games can be different) from both its predecessor and its first successor.However, since we're comparing the game to its sequel, the most painfully obvious difference is the lack of master tracks.
The game offers a few genuinely challenging songs and is for the most part more difficult than the original.
Another potential fault is the DLC area.
Yet for some reason I skipped GH2 when it first came out, and didn't return to the series until GH3.
It all boils down to how you feel about covers in general.
However for those, like me, who played GH3 first and wanted to try something else in the series GH2 is a lot easier.
That's not a bad thing - at times it felt like GH3 was artificially adding button combinations or notes in order to ramp up the difficulty.
The tracks you can download are a bit pricey, but if you're willing to pay they definitely help prolong the experience.GH2 is still my favorite of the original three GH games.
If you enjoyed GH3 and are looking for more, if you love the guitar experience on full band games, or if you want to get into the genre with no background experience I highly recommend you check out GH2.Plus, who can argue with a game that has a SPINAL TAP song on it.
This game has always been entertaining and a great way to pass the time. The only complaint I would have about this product is that the jump from playing on a Medium level to the Hard level is too much. The songs on it are great and there is plenty to keep you occupied. Mastering the easy level was very quick but getting through medium and hard proved to be much more difficult. They should have eased into it a little more. All in all a great buy.
All the songs are great. This is a great game just like all the other Guitar Hero's also.
it's a little older and cover songs suck compared to the latest master recordings in rockband and world tour. but it is still a great game for those that like to rock out with fake plastic guitars
