I bought this game after playing it twice...Great investment. I have played it since the beginning of 2008 for about one hour every night! It does take a long time (about a minute) to save, but that may be because I have the older PlayStation. Also, it's one of those games where practice actually DOES make perfect.
What's great about it: BEST song selection, guitar battles, and more songs
SynopsisPrepare for a musical medley of epic proportions. Guitar Hero simulates the thrill and the glory of rock 'n' roll. Choose from eight different characters, from metal head to classic rocker, and build a career as a working rock musician. Play along with more than 30 rock tunes from some of the greatest bands in history. Four difficulty levels test your skills and six venues place you before increasingly larger audiences. Take the next step and experience life as a rock legend.Picking up where its extremely popular predecessor left off, Guitar Hero II expands your playing options by letting you play two different guitar tracks per song, selecting from rhythm, bass and lead, depending on the track. This smashing sequel follows up the original with more than 55 killer new tracks, including hits from rock legends such as Van Halen, Guns N' Roses and more. All-new multiplayer modes let you form a duo with a friend in Cooperative mode, or shred riffs back and forth in Pro Face-Off and Face-Off modes. All guitar heroes started somewhere ~ try out the all-new Practice mode to master specific sections of music or even slow down the track, and take your first step towards superstardom.

Great Game(s)! Played Guitar Hero III first, and was disappointed at the graphics in these two when compared to III, but overall a fun game. Very addictive! The song selection is pretty unique; they did a good job of mixing well-known artists and "under-the-radar" artists. Also, the loading time is extremely faster than that of Guitar Hero III. All in all a GREAT purchase!
