Greatly surpasses the original.

User Rating: 9 | Guitar Hero II PS2
I had actually first started on Guitar Hero III. So I bought Guitar Heroes I and II, and I thought that ll was way better.

Controls: The controls haven't changed a bit from the first one. 5 fret buttons and a strum bar! 10/10

Graphics: The graphics are actually better than GH1 and GHIII's Wii version. The drummer looks a lot less robotic. Also, there are a lot of really detailed places that you wish you could just stop and look at. 10/10

Difficulty: The difficulty is ramped up from Guitar hero 1. You have to have played another Guitar Hero to actually play the game on Hard and Expert. I love a good challenge, but sometimes it just gets ridiculous. 9/10

Story: The story is that you are a Rock Band looking for some money, and end up getting sponsored all over the place. It all comes down to playing gigs for money. Original getting almost 1000 bucks, but losing it thanks to the dumbest reasons, like verbal abusing the staff. 9/10

Overall, the game is extremely fun, but extremely difficult. The only real drawback to the game is the insane difficuly. 9/10. Nice job, Harmonix.
