I bought this game two weeks ago and I can not stop playing it. I had been hearing great things about "the guitar game" for Playstation 2. When I found out the second in the series, Guitar Hero 2, was going to be available for the Xbox 360, I had to have it. — — Guitar Hero 2 is played… read full review »

If you spent 1% of the time most people waste on these games you could actually learn to play a real guitar.By now this version of the game should already be obsolete,which gaurantees little or no support,or added expense for upgrade. — Step out of the virtual world o crap and into the real… read full review »

OH YEAHHHHHH!!! The first ever Guitar Hero video game rocked everyone's world thanks to the bytchin' real heavy music and damn fine guitar controller that really made you feel like you were electrifying a big crowd on stage and then getting some after the show. The game was the perfect kick to the balls the gaming universe needed and we wanted an encore. Guitar Heroes part 1 and part deux already rocked hard on your grandpa's Playstation2 and it was F'N awesome there but now it's ready to get a all new record deal with the rich bastards over at Microsoft and their 360 love box,… read full review »

I just have to say, I love this game! For about a year now I have been trying to learn to play the actual guitar and I have to say that after playing guitar hero 2 I got better at the actual guitar. I started to understand rhythem and timing a little more. I think this game teaches hand/eye coordination. This game is also fun in general to play! My husband and I play the multi-player together all the time. I love the fact that we can do it together. The song are a A-. They aren't bad. I now definetly have all of them memorized and can sing them probably backwards. Anyway, this is a great game… read full review »

ome of the most fun I've had playing games in the last few years was going a couple of rounds of Guitar Hero with a few friends. It's a fantastic party game and if you've never played it, you owe it to yourself to check it out. This, much like SingStar and Dance Dance Revolution, is a title that's going to appeal highly to your "non-traditional" gamer crowd. I could, honestly, fawn over how much fun it is for hours, but there were a couple of things about the 360 version of this game that I wanted to bring up.First, I know there are a ton of you out there that have a PS2 version of this… read full review »

I absolutely love this game.  Great songs and it's extremely addicting.  I love the guitar that came with it, too.  The only problem with it is that the whammy bar gets loose, and I find myself wasting precious fractions of a second looking for it, when I could be gaining extra star power. — There are very fun songs in this game, and I recognized almost all of them (I'm 18), even though there aren't many modern songs (although "Dead" by My Chemical Romance is in there).  "Sweet Child of Mine" by Guns n' Roses is my favorite, and I can play it all night without… read full review »

Guitar Hero is a game for the ages. Music that I could not get my children to listen or like they love now, because of Guitar Hero. I am so impressed with the concept of this game. I hear so many times consumers opt out from buying video games for the family. Well, if you choose Guitar Hero you will be making a good purchase for entertainment with your family. What a blast we have battling each other and learning songs inside and out. We laugh, tease, and cheer each other on. No longer am I looked as an out of date mom when I can sing to the songs. They think I am so cool. The music… read full review »

My husband has been talking about Guitar Heroes for a while now and against my better judgement, I bought it for him for his birthday this year.  To say it is extremely addictive would be a definite understatement.  As I write this review, he is about an hour late for work rocking out to Rage Against the Machine.  I have to admit that I have played a few times myself, and it is very fun.  All the songs are pretty well known, and if you have heard them before you should be able to keep up on the easy level.  The  guitar is made up of 5… read full review »

These Guitar Hero games are the best games that have ever come out. I've ALWAYS wanted to elarn to play guitar so got the first game, finished that then got all the other versions. Friends also have a guitar so you can battle against each other with 2 guitars. Can lpay against each other or WITH each other, one person on harmony the other on rhythm. There are several challengin modes. beginner for those who've never played guitar. Then 3 other levels that get harder, which you can earn money on to buy new guitars, songs, characters and so forth. Amazing for people really wanting to learn to… read full review »

Easy to play, and hard to master!! I  only got this game because I found the package at a thrift store for $30 bucks.... Even though I cannot do much past the medium level, I am intending on buying GH 3. There's enough variety of songs that anyone who likes rock will find one of their favorites on here. I love hooking my 360 up to the projector, and jamming out through my stereo system to this game. The fact that each "turn" is the length of a song means that even with one controller, you can have a group of people over to enjoy it with you. Check it out!!! You'll have… read full review »

They made this for ME! Combine the XBOX360....Superior Graphics, Truely impressive speed, Highly responsive to user input..... — ADD — Guitar!, Nothing not to love here! And, it is NOT too hard! Any true gamer can play this! Takes practice, sure....but being able to REALLY play ANY game takes practice. — They've just combined two of my greatest loves, GAMING and GUITAR. — My only complaint....Great Music but Need More of it!!!!! — More variety....I'm into Rock but also like Hip-Hop — Oh, NEXT...How about something for DRUMS! —… read full review »

this game is great for the closet rocker who wishes they were good at guitar. I'm a drummer so I have a rpetty good sense of rythem, which no doubt helped me pick up this game quickly, once I did, I couldn't put it down. its very rewarding starting on easy and then after a short while climbing the ranks and plowing through songs on hard and expert. I'm not one of the people who cna play all the hardest songs on Expert without missing many notes... but this game has a good amount of replayability and is a GREAT party game.… read full review »

From Aerosmith, ACDC, Guns N Roses...all the way to motley cru-this game will have you addicited! Plus, it makes you feel like a true rockstar when you are hitting all the notes.  As you string your guitar and press your fingers on the colored buttons, music comes alive.  As you hit it, you can either hit it good or bad.  You wil get booed if you do bad-but cheered longfully if you hit it correctly.  Each song gets harder and you can chose your level of experience.  A great Christmas… read full review »

This game so much fun, very creative concept!  The whole family plays it.  Love the songs, though wish there was a little more variety, the kids don't know any of them.  As close as I'll ever get to being a rock star. — I do wish that we had the wireless one, but we bought ours before they came out.  The cord can be a little cumbersome depending on where your XBOX is located, an extension cord is a must to go with it.  But, I guess it beats buying batteries for it! —… read full review »
