CES 2007: Guitar Hero II for XBox 360
Microsoft was showcasing their XBox 360 with various games. Guitar Hero I and Guitar Hero II have been available for a while for the Playstation 2, but soon it will be available for XBox 360. We played with it for a few minutes at the Microsoft booth. They didn’t take a picture of me when I rocked the house, but I took a picture of Matt Strebe when he tried it out.
The gameplay was exactly the same as the Playstation 2 version. The graphics were a little crisper, but when I was playing, all I cared about was the big red, yellow, and green buttons flying by on the screen. The XBox 360 version adds nothing compared to the less expensive console version. It’s nice to see that XBox has one game that isn’t a first person shooter or racing game, but PS2 had them beat by months. Sadly, I have still yet to find a reason to plunk down the big bucks for the XBox 360 console.
