Guitar Hero II - XBox 360 and PS2

A few years ago I remember getting addicted to those dance mats. Remember the ones you connected to your games console where you had to dance the steps being shown on the screen and hope to beat your previous score or your brothers score?

Then the idea came out as a guitar version - will it be just as addictive?

Following the same idea you connect a play guitar to the games console and follow the on screen sequence to copy on your actual guitar. The more accurate you are more points you’ll score.

The guitar comes with 5 coloured buttons on the neck of the guitar which represent the strings and whilst hitting these in synch with the screen, you have to strum along at the same time.

Strum along to over 70 classic rock songs, practice makes perfect until you are ready to compete with a pal in multiplayer mode to battle it out for the ultimate Guitar Hero title.

Reviews of this game have been glowing. Fun, addictive and supposedly even better than the first version, overall a great gaming experience.
