Of course with Guitar Hero, it is not simply a matter of hitting the right notes at the right time.  Instead it is a matter of hitting the right chords with a cool rock stance whilst wearing a contorted guitar “face”.  Whether you are a shoe-gazer, head banger or rocker, there is vicarious fun to be had.

"With all the new content and features we’re adding for our initial launch onto next-gen systems, Guitar Hero II on the Xbox 360 is definitely going to rock harder than ever,” said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane.  “Our online initiative is going to provide an incredible opportunity for our fans to extend the gameplay experience, and we have ambitious ideas to continue to fully support these efforts.”

The Xbox 360 version will feature HD remodelled characters, unlockable guitars, and different gameplay modes along with the exciting addition of online play against other fellow wannabe stars.  There will be leaderboard score as well as downloadable Xbox Live Marketplace content, including new tracks – woohoo !
