The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Guitar Hero was one of 2005's biggest surprises, and the teams at Harmonix and Red Octane have produced an epic encore, appropriately named Guitar Hero II. The sequel improves greatly on an already superb product with an in-depth training mode, a song list that holds up just as well as the original, and multiplayer that includes cooperative play. Everyone should rock out to Guitar Hero II -- it's one of the best games of 2006.
