Scott, here you go:

Guitar Hero II Bonus Tracks Revealed
Ten songs to be added for the March release.

IGN's brothers in arms, TeamXbox, is reporting that RedOctane is set to reveal details on the 360 version of Guitar Hero II Tuesday. According to a press release, which TeamXbox acquired, the 360 version of GH 2 is coming this March and includes more than 70 tracks. Gamers can expect ten 360-exclusive songs to go with the 64 tracks from the PS2 version.

The ten new songs, all of which are unlockable in career mode, are not cheap additions as some might have feared. Among the stellar new tracks are "Billion Dollar Babies" by Alice Cooper, "Dead!" by My Chemical Romance, "Hush" by Deep Purple, "Life Wasted" by Pearl Jam, "Rock 'n' Roll Hoochie Koo" by Rick Derringer, "Possum Kingdom" by Toadies, "Salvation" by Rancid and "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden.

While the majority of tracks will be covers, as is the standard for Guitar Hero II, both "Dead!" and "Possum Kingdom" are listed as "master tracks," meaning they are the original recordings. The final two tracks remain unrevealed, leaving us to hold out hope that Hendrix will make his 360 debut this spring.

Along with a swanky new white guitar and ten bonus tracks, Xbox gamers can enjoy many of the staples of 360 gaming with Guitar Hero II. Achievement points, leaderboards, dashboard themes and picture packs, and downloadable songs are all planned. In fact, RedOctane is planning to have downloadable songs available at launch so that gamers can expand their Guitar Hero playlist immediately. Details on downloadable content is expected in February.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

This is maybe the funnest game I've played.

I'm almost done with Hard mode. I've beaten medium completely, all 5 stars. I'm working on easy slowly, but it's really boring.

I don't think I'll be able to 5 star all the hard songs, and I've no idea how I'm going to get through expert.

Well, we need one more announcement about GH1 songs, and I can say bye bye to my PS2....

Even if they charged for the GH1 songs in a complete package, I would be all over those.

Re: Guitar Hero 2

So what exactly is the big deal with this game? It looks like dance dance revolution with a guitar. Do people like it because of the songs or what?

I don't own a ps2, and haven't spent much time with it, but I have played it at ebgames, and it is just fun...don't know how else to describe it. Not the type of game I would get normally, but now I have to have it. I haven't played DDR, but I would imagine it is similar - but, as you say, with a guitar

I will definitely pick this up as soon as it becomes available for the 360...in fact, it is one of the few games I plan on buying for this year.

i thought it was stupid until I tried it. It's just fun. You just get into it and really feel like you're playing the songs.

and btw, I'm listening to "Dead" right now and its going to be hard as hell.

I can't wait for GH2 on the 360 and then next month DDR releases on there also which my wife is looking forward to.
