Game Description
Guitar Hero II turns your living room into a rock stage as you shred your way through one of the most iconic rhythm games of all time. Featuring over 60 head-banging tracks across multiple rock subgenres—from classic metal to alt-rock and indie—this sequel amps up everything fans loved from the original. With venues that grow more intense as your fame rises, players take on the role of a rising rock legend, hitting notes with precision and pulling off epic solos that ignite the crowd.
The game is designed to be played with the PlayStation 2 guitar controller for the most immersive rockstar experience. However, a standard PS2 controller can also be used, mapping fret buttons and strumming to the face and shoulder buttons. Still, nothing beats the tactile feel of wielding the guitar peripheral as you climb the ranks of rock stardom.
Gameplay Features
- Over 60 licensed and cover tracks spanning classic rock, metal, punk, and more
- Co-op and Face-Off modes where players can play lead or rhythm guitar
- Unlockable characters, guitars, and venues as you progress
- Designed for use with the PS2 guitar controller (sold separately)
- Compatible with standard PlayStation 2 controllers as an alternative
