Guitar Hero vs. Guitar Hero II
Both are excellent games, but I find that Guitar Hero has a better soundtrack in generality than Guitar Hero II. GH 2 has it's fair share of good songs, like Sweet CHild o' Mine, Free Bird, Heart Shaped Box, etc. However, I find that if focuses more on playing fast than on memorable riffs, liek the original did.
Thoughts? Opinions?

I have a real critical question. ()
I'm not into any of the songs featured in these Guitar Hero games. Not in the slightest. Not my kind of music.
Nor am I big into Guitar Playing. I've dabbled with my toy Guitar when I was little but that's it. It's not that I'm not into it. It's just It's never really been a part of my life.
I don't listen to bands and the such so yeah.......
Keeping all of these things in mind, could I still enjoy this game. B/c I am interesting in the game itself but afraid I'll be turned off by the types of songs featured in it, being songs that I don't listen to.
GH2 is better imo. GH started with a good idea, and GH2 brought it all to perfection. I also like the co-op mode GH2 has. Besides it has Madhouse by Anthrax. That's all the memorable riffs you need.
I played it over a friend's house, having never so much as picked up a guitar in my life (and having previous knowledge of maybe one or two songs on there), and was instantly addicted.

Thanks. Good to know.
Because I'm seriously considering getting this game.
I think I will now.
I hate that it's $70 dollars though. At least that's what I saw under the actual Guitar Box.
So does Guitar 1 and 2 come packaged with the $70 Guitar Box or is Guitar 1 packaged or just Guitar 2 or is neither packaged and you have to buy everything seperately?
I think that GH1 has better songs than GH2 (only 3-4 good songs IMO), but their isn't a such a big change between the games just that the music sux more in GH2 and the Co. play

I played Guitar Hero II for a good little while tonight and I love it.
And being that I'm not into those songs whatsoever, the gameplay is so good it doesn't matter and I'm actually finding myself starting to like some of the music and that's unlike me.
I swore against this kind of music basically and now I plan on going online and searching up on some of the music and trying to get it.
There's this one track in particular that I love playing. It's one that you have to purchase. I'll have to pay attention to the name next time.
I think the title has something about "Speaking" in it.
Anywho, this game is awesome and I can't wait to play it some more. I may play it more tonight.
When first seeing the guitar in person, I thought maybe it was too small and wouldn't handle well and it would be too light, but everything is perfect about it.
So yeah...
I'm so glad I got it and it was definitely worth the price.
While I was at Wal-Mart, I saw 2 PS3's sitting homely at the bottom of the shelves looking all pitiful and stuck up.
I had to double take b/c it's still so shocking to see them just laying readily about this early.
I got Guitar Hero II for my birthday today, and I'm liking it so far.
It's a shame, however, that most of the songs are not the original recordings. In fact, they're covers. The worst one is Lamb of God's song Laid to Rest.
