"Tomorrow, RedOctane will be making a formal announcement to offer up some key details about the forthcoming Xbox 360 release of Guitar Hero II. Among them is the confirmation of a March 2007 ship date.

The press release will indicate “over 70 finger-melting tracks,” though a person close to the company told TeamXbox that the game will include 74 on-disc songs—the 64 tunes that made up the PlayStation 2 Guitar Hero II song list, as well as 10 more that are exclusive to the Xbox 360 game. RedOctane’s announcement is expected to reveal five of them (and the artists that made them famous):

* Billion Dollar Babies (Alice Cooper)
* Dead! (My Chemical Romance)
* Hush (Deep Purple)
* Life Wasted (Pearl Jam)
* Rock N Roll Hoochie Koo (Rick Derringer)



TeamXbox was also told that three of the remaining five exclusives are Possum Kingdom (Toadies), Salvation (Rancid) and The Trooper (Iron Maiden), all of which will be part of the main gameplay. The remaining two are currently unannounced, though they will only be unlockable through gameplay. Additionally, Dead! and Possum Kingdom will be “master tracks,” meaning that they’ll be the respective bands’ original recordings, rather than the studio remakes that make up the rest of the tunes in the game.



The other key section of the announcement will revolve around plans for downloadable content through Xbox Live. While RedOctane’s announcement won’t provide details on what will be offered—beyond stating it’ll include “achievement points, download themes, picture packs, and, most importantly, new songs through Xbox Live Marketplace”—TeamXbox was told that the publisher expects to make a batch of songs available on the day that the game hits stores, so players can immediately expand the playable song list. A RedOctane spokesperson stated that he expects the company to announce aspects about the first batch of downloadable tunes some time in February.

(As we indicated in our November Guitar Hero II preview, the rumor is that the first downloadable songs will give Xbox 360 players a chance to catch up on the franchise by offering the song list from the first Guitar Hero game. However, a RedOctane spokesperson said that the contents of the first downloadable offerings haven’t been nailed down yet, so for now it all remains something to speculate on.)

We were assured that, as you’d expect, Guitar Hero II will have a standard offering of achievements through gameplay, which we assume will comprise 1,000 Gamerscore points. Also, the game will include online leaderboards, so players can “track their high scores and share bragging rights with their friends and other top rock gods.” A RedOctane spokesperson said that leaderboards will likely be set up for weekly and monthly stat tracking, though more details will follow in that regard before the game ships.

Finally, check out the new screenshots that will accompany tomorrow’s press release, which reveal how detailed (and improved over previous releases) the HD graphics will be in the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II. "

Couldn't see anyone else having mentioned this - Guitar Hero 2 is coming to the Xbox 360 in March, and one of the tracks will be Life Wasted. Interesting choice.

My topic and mrl's were posted a minute apart which is pretty understandable. Yours on the other hand certainly deserves the

OMGNFW!!

I bet it doesn't end on a fade out then...

You're a n00b.

:conoalias:

okay so basically guitar hero is gay

why is that?

because making a video game based on playing the guitar and putting really great songs on it is a pathetic way to make money from loser emo kids and wannabe punk kids. oh yes and i forgot the "i wish i was classic rock" kids. anyways, it's stupid there's already a great way to make real music called the guitar.

but... but they got the original track for the new My Chemical Romance song.

you have proven me wrong. my God i had no freaking clue i just heard that stp was one of the songs and now pearl jam so i figured they wouldn't put that shit on it buttt yet again it shows how freaking pathetic it really is. [getting caught up in all that modern emo shit that no one will have heard of in 2 years] *sigh* it truly is a disgrace that pearl jam will be on a video game with these bands.

The Black Parade is probably one of the better albums to have been released in 2006. That and it isn't actually emo. Not that emo means anything anyway, it holds about as much water as grunge or whatever other trendy terms people can come up with.

okay. you cannot possibly think my chemical romance has any musical talent at all. you've lost me. and the respect i had in your music tastes.

What would you consider to be a strong album from last year?
Whether they actually have talent or if it is just studio magic, I've never heard them live, The Black Parade was one of my favorite albums of the year and I had never even really heard of the band before except for maybe a stray music video.

That's easy. St.Elsewhere by Gnarls Barkley. Sure, it's different, but at least they are breaking ground instead of recycling. So many people hate them, which I guess is good considering MCR's popularity. Just cause you think Crazy sucks does not mean the whole cd does. No offense but MCR is overated and they suck ass.

Hmm... After listening to one song that just really isn't something that I would be interested in listening to. I don't really see what exactly is so ground breaking but like I said I just listened to one song. I just find The Black Parade to be a good listen, and catchy as hell too.

I think it'll be listed under medium difficulty.

It is a great game, that many people who play real guitars also enjoy. The only thing Emo in this thread is your overly negative attitude about this harmless news. Sure there are some terrible bands represented in Guitar Hero, but joining a list of bands that includes Cream, the Ramones, Bad Religion, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, The Police, The Rolling Stones, Alice in Chains, Guns N' Roses, Nirvana, and dozens of other well respected bands is not really a disgrace.
