Seven Guitar Hero 2 Tracks Revealed

FRIDAY MAY 5 2006 9:00 AM

Submitted by WilWheaton. Edited By WilWheaton.

Guitar Hero 2 may not be as widely anticipated as Halo 2 or Doom 3 was, but its fans are seriously hardcore, and this news will make many of them grab the nearest air guitar and wail off a celebratory riff: Seven songs from GH2 have been announced, and they'll all be playable at E3.

Drist - "Arterial Black"

The Reverend Horton Heat - "Psychobilly Freakout"

KISS - "Strutter"

Black Sabbath - "War Pigs"

The Butthole Surfers - "Who Was in My Room Last Night"

The Kinks (the Van Halen version) - "You Really Got Me"

And... RUSH - "YYZ"

DUDE! Fuckin' "War Pigs" and "Psychobilly Freakout"!

Ahem. Sorry. That wasn't very professional.

Guitar Hero 2 is slated for a Fall release, and players will be able to play lead, rhythm, and bass guitar in the game, which features 55 new songs. There are also rumors that there will be a new controller available, this time designed to look like the Gibson Flying V.

While this is all awesome news for Guitar Hero geeks like me, there is some cause for concern: with so many new songs being added, the chances increase ever so slightly that we may have to play a Creed or Linkin Park song to get 100% on the game.

Will it be covers again? Or will they be using actual tracks?



Better be actual freakin tracks. Covers in these games annoy the hell out of me. The ones in Donkey Konga were pretty well done though I must say.



with a bit of luck the success will make them want to spend a bit extra for the real tracks. or on the other hand maybe they'll just realise they can get cover versions cheaper and people will still play it because the game is awesome.



I can assure you they do everything they possibly can and choosing songs/ getting licensing and then making sure the audio file can be replayed the way they need them to. I'm sure it's a total nightmare. Like whole budget.

Getting your hands on the master tracks is insanely expensive (varies from band to band) and could prohibit the devs from putting a number of songs on there that we actually want to play. Better to just get some damn good cover bands. Hell with some of those older tracks you can't even find the master tracks so you need to have them remastered/covered in order to break up the different streams for lead/rythm/bass.

It's true. It's science!

So, I keep hearing good things about Guitar Hero, and yet, I do not buy because of certain concerns I have. To wit: I do not have rhythm. I have not, heretofore, liked rhythm games or rhythm minigames in my non-rhythm games. And I have never desired to be a rock star or play the electric guitar.

Is this a game I would enjoy?
