So, after much debate (it is a $90 game after all), I broke down and bought Guitar Hero II for the XBOX 360 last night. Then promptly played it until about midnight.

I never got into Dance-Dance Revolution, but I must say GHII is really really fun. I can see it’s applicability to having some friends over, having a few beers and playing GHII. It’s really a game that a lot of people can find fun and it’s not terribly hard (though the “Unlock All” code seems exceptionally difficult to enter in the 3-second window). Add to that that a lot of the songs are from “my” era (hair metal from the late 80s and 90s) and it’s a kick.

Definitely highly-rated. Tho the dork they got to sing “Mother” (Danzig) really needs to learn to sing.
