Guitar Hero 2 (Xbox 360)
Graphics
Pros:
A sharper, crisper image overall. Much better on the eyes
Cons:
Lighting effects may be to much for some people. May cause distractions.This is a game where graphics don't matter at all really, but what's the harm to a crisper image? The graphics are pretty good, much better than the PS2 (Playstation 2) version of this game. The notes on the screen are sharper, and the background is pretty smooth and much better than the older-generation game. The lighting effects may be too much for some people. Frequent flashes of lights may trigger a reaction to some people. I wish the lighting effects were a bit toned down since I get distracted by them and I play my notes wrong.
Sound
Pros:
Great music in the game. 10 exclusive tracks for the Xbox 360
Sounds great with a surround sound 5.1+
Cons
Nothing major. May wake up your neighbors? I love the songs in this game, one of the main reasons I bought it. There are all the songs from Guitar Hero 2 for the PS2 (Playstation 2) plus 10 exclusive songs just for the Xbox 360. I have my Xbox 360 hooked up to a 7.1 surround sound system and it sounds great. You can hear every beat. I have to turn it down to -40dB because it's so loud!
Replay Value
Pros:
Very addictive
Downloadable Content
Each song has a different feel
Choose your difficulty
Cons:
Arm may get sore after a lot of songs.This game is SO addictive, each song is different and it never gets old. Once you get better, choose a harder difficulty which is more fun. There will be downloadable content off Xbox LIVE Marketplace like songs. You feel like you're really playing the song like a real rock concert. This is a game that will keep you busy for a LONG time.
Value
