Guitar Hero 2

Seriously, though, do people have any opinions about this? Currently #6 on Amazon's "Technology & Games"-type list. Sort of amazing, as I see it--a music game that finally deserves the hype by managing to kind of approximate the music-making experience. I never got that with Parappa, for example.

But having two guitars though...

It's pretty interesting though that I now have 8 year old cousins who know the words to Iron Man.

Very much so, apart from getting to "be" Angus or Ace or etc. But you select a character, play songs by Eddie, Jimi, Ace, and Randy, choose a "venue", choose a guitar. No electrocution issues, and your stage performance is entirely unrelated to gameplay, which is pretty much exclusively about playing the songs as well as you can given the fretless, button-based guitar controller.

Level 1:

Level 2:
Green button----------------------------------->
blue button ----------------------------------->

Better gameplay than I, slightly lesser song selection though more varied and more revelatory ("Tattooed Love Boys" = my new 2nd fav Pretenders song), infinitely better multi-player. Great shit.
