Yeah, seems to me the GH1 medium mode is harder then GH2's, but The GH1 Hard mode is easier than GH2's.

From IGN.com
Guitar Hero II Update An Xbox 360 version of GHII magically appears at our doorstep. Details and movies! by Douglass C. Perry US, January 29, 2007 - A large package arrived at out door today. This usually isn't a big surprise as we get all manner of toys and goodies at IGN, but seeing as how it was from RedOctane, we were particularly excited to rip into the box and see what it was. Neatly wrapped inside was a playable Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II and the X-plorer guitar. Nevermind the bullocks, here's Guitar Hero II! Coming to Xbox 360 this March, RedOctane's musical wonder is a near replica of the outrageously fun PlayStation 2 game in play style and looks, but with a few upgrades and customizations for the X360 version. We received a previewable build, but the review version will feature "remodeled HD graphics" and improved audio quality, online leaderboards (weekly and monthly), downloadable content on Xbox Live Marketplace (including new songs, game themes, picture packs, and other items), and 50 different Achievements. Last, 10 new songs were added to the game disc, making a total of 74 total tracks all told, with more available via download. The "remodeled HD graphics" (RedOctane's words) aren't shockingly different, but the resolution is sharper, giving the simplistic graphics a nice new edge. The other stuff is pretty basic (leaderboards and improved audio), although 10 additional songs is a great bonus. The Achievements were well thought out and feature points for things like Beating Trogdor and Thunder Horse for 10 points, getting a 1,000 note streak in Cooperative for 10 points, refusing to play an encore for 10 points, or failing a song on easy for 10 points. There are 1,000 points all together and RedOctane broke the points out widely and with a sense of humor. The 10 additional songs built into the Xbox 360 version include: Billion Dollar Babies (as made famous by Alice Cooper) Hush (as made famous by Deep Purple) Dead! (by My Chemical Romance) - Master Track Life Wasted (as made famous by Pearl Jam) Rock N Roll Hoochie Koo (as made famous by Rick Derringer) The Trooper (as made famous by Iron Maiden) Salvation (as made famous by Rancid) Possum Kingdom (by Toadies) - Master Track Drink Up (by Ounce of Self) - 1st Unlock Kicked to the Curb (by Noble Rot) - 2nd Unlock IGN's Editorial Director Tal Blevins, a notorious GH fan, ripped in to three of the new songs: Possum Kingdom by the Toadies, Salvation by Rancid, and Life Wasted by Pearl Jam, and had this to say about the Xbox 360 version: "Possum Kingdom is the original track from The Toadies and therefore sounds just like the radio version, Salvation sounds like a good cover with decent vocals, but the voice of Eddie Veder is not so convincing on Life Wasted. Eh, at least it's not as bad as the Kurt Cobain on Heart-Shaped Box. "With the additional songs on the Xbox 360 version, the song tiers are mixed up a bit differently than on the PS2. They incorporate the new songs into different tiers. Possum Kingdom and Salvation are in the first tier, and Life Wasted is in the second tier. I haven't had time to unlock any more since we just got the game this afternoon, but it shouldn't take too long to get to all of the new songs." The X-plorer guitar, besides differences in shape, shows slight modification (click on the image above for better visual detail). For the Xbox 360, the X-plorer offers a D-pad and an Xbox 360 Media button at its base, plus a jack for a headset so you can speak with others online, a requirement that's consistent with all of Microsoft's controller peripherals. While the X-plorer neck felt much thinner than its PS2 counterpart while we were playing, it is actually only 1/8-inch narrower in width (not depth) than the PS2 guitar. The colored buttons are squared off at the top, unlike the rounded ones on PS2, and the distance between buttons is exactly the same, as is the distance between all the keys and the strumming bar is also the same. Another physical addition is the location of the strap connection, which fits on a central location so the guitar can be flipped more easily for left-handers. The wired guitar features a bent controller cable that connects at the bottom of the base, and doesn't get in your way as much as the straight-fed PS2 guitar cable. The tremelo bar also felt slightly stiffer than the standard PS2 version, although that may be because this is a brand-new guitar and our PS2 guitars have seen plenty of use. IGN previously has inspected the additional jack located on the bottom panel of the X-plorer, and it's still there on the final retail unit. The odd-shaped proprietary jack doesn't fit an Ethernet or a normal phone jack. We speculate it's for potential future add-ons (perhaps pedals or effects boards?), to hit the market at some future date. There is still no word on a wireless X360 guitar, but a RedOctane representative did tell us that RedOctane and Microsoft are still in discussions on the matter and that details will be hammered out shortly. |

Due to lag, it's seems unlikely.

I got through hard quicker than I did on GH1, but that was because I had experience behind me. Although Hard on GH2 is definately harder than on GH1.

The fact the 360 version has MCR means I refuse to play it.

So just because of one song, you refuse to play the most awesome game ever?

Whenever the notes go from Green to Red don't follow it with Index to Middle finger, rather 'jump' your Index finger from Green to Red and play with you pinky safely awaiting the Orange attack. Practice this with that catchy Freezepop track and you'll get it in your system fairly quikly. |

I wonder what they'll add for that controller, I hope you don't have to tilt the guitar back in the air like in that Guitar Mania arcade game.

Aside from the fact that a Metallica Edition would cost an extra $300 and would probably not include any of their good stuff (ie Kill Em All), that is an excellent idea, D-Mac.

I like the fact "The Official Game" was added on to try to make it look more authentic, when in reality it had the opposite effect.

I find it impossible to believe that I'm actually better than ANYONE at this game. (On the final tier in Hard mode)

I am slowly getting better. Can get through a few songs on expert, but can't get through the final tiers on either game in hard.

I have to say, after playing the 360 version and using that guitar, it is the most retardedly designed controller ever. It is so uncomfortable to use because of the big point coming up where your arm usually rests, so you have to hold it awkwardly. That combined with the harder to access start/back buttons pisses me off.
I hate having to tilt the guitar to use star power. On the PS2 it was so much easier just to mash the button with your palm. |

Woo it came about 3pm and haven't stoped playing it since. I love the design of the guitar, but the start/back buttons are a little hard to reach, and the whammy bar is fucked which is a widely reported fault.
So far I'm loving Hush, its my favourite of the newly added songs. Cant wait for DLC to come out. |
