Ever wanted to be a Guitar Hero? Then Guitar Hero 2 might be just what you’re looking for.
Guitar Hero 2 is a music rhythm that allows you to shred to your favorite music from the comfort of your own home. Guitar Hero 2 can be played with your standard Xbox 360 control or the xplorer guitar that comes with the game bundle. The idea of the game is to play along to coloured notes that will come towards you on the screen by holding down the colour or colours on your guitar and strumming in time with the music along with a few little tricks you can learn with a bit of practice, one being hammer ons where you can strum one note and hammer on the rest without strumming again and another being pull offs which is the same as a hammer on but pulling off the notes rather than hammering on. It’s not quite as easy as it sounds but with practice anybody can learn this game.
Guitar Hero 2 will have you playing to some of the hottest bands on earth including Guns And Roses, Iron Maiden, Nirvana, Deep Purple, Buckethead and many more. The game will start off with songs that are rather slow and easy to complete, but as you progress further through the game you will find yourself playing much faster and tougher songs.
A great thing about this game is that it is sure to have a difficulty for everybody. You can start off playing easy which will require you to use only three out of five buttons with no real tough button combinations. Then you can step up to medium which will have you using four buttons with a few tough combinations but nothing too bad. Next up is hard, this is where it gets tricky, you will use all five buttons and have some rather awkward button combinations. Last but not least, expert, this is where it gets insane, all five buttons and the craziest button combinations imaginable. Any time you beat a song on any difficulty you will be awarded a star rating out of five depending on your score and difficulty. You will earn money for each song you complete, the higher the star rating, the more cash you make. Use the cash you earn to buy all sorts of things from the shop including, new guitars, new characters, new outfits, new songs and much more.
To conclude i’d have to say this game was a bit hard to get used to but when you do get the hang of it it’s very addictive. This game is not only great fun but it has many hours of game play and will have you rockin’ for hours on end. Great game!
