Guitar Hero 2 is a one-of-a-kind on the Xbox 360, and it surely amazes me how much fun this game actually is.
The gameplay is nothing but perfection, nothing to change from an already proven formula. The player may use the guitar peripheral, the X-PLOER controller, to play scrolling notes by holding the corresponding fret button on the guitar neck and simultaneously pressing the strum bar. It seems difficult at first, but after some practice, you'll get the hang of it and have loads of fun.
The game consists of a 'Career' mode in which you name your bacnd and select a character from a list and play songs at each location that you choose. Such as playing six songs in Ohio and completing each song, you will now be able to travel and play at Boston and play the next six songs. On Medium or any other higher difficulty, you earn cash for how well yoou play the song and the cash can be used to buy new equipment such as guitars, new characters, bonus songs, ect. Once a song is unlocked in Career mode, it is unlocked in Quick Play.
The game also features a multiplayer option in which you and another Guitar Hero player can play either cooperatively, in which one would play as the guitar and the other the bass, or face off where you go against one another and whoever ends up having the most points wins. Unfortuately there is no online multiplayer, but you can upload your stats to the leaderboards and see how well you rank against other fellow Guitar Hero players on Xbox Live.
Overall, this is definately one of the better Xbox 360 games out there, no Xbox 360 console should be without Guitar Hero 2, this is a game in which someone from all ages can love and enjoy.
