It’s hard to write this with my fingers shaking in anticipation, but the details forGuitar Hero IIfor theXbox360 are about to explode all over your keyboard.
TeamXboxspills all of the details, including the aforementioned songs that will be exclusive to theXbox360 version of the game. “Billion Dollar Babies” by Alice Cooper; “Dead!” by My Chemical Romance; “Hush” as made famous by Deep Purple; “Life Wasted” as made famous by Pearl Jam; and “Rock N’ RollHoochieKoo” as made famous by Rick Derringer, are all among the exclusive tracks. The Alice Cooper and My Chemical Romance will be master tracks, meaning you’re going to be playing along with the original recordings (as with “John the Fisherman” and “Stop” in the original version ofGuitar Hero II).
The other three of the 10 exclusive tracks are said to be “Possum Kingdom” (Toadies), “Salvation” (Rancid), and “The Trooper” (Iron Maiden). The remaining tracks will beunlockablethroughgameplay, and this is all in addition to the promiseddownloadablecontent. Did I mention that even more content will be available for download on day one? Oh, hell yeah!
There will unfortunately be no online play, but weekly and monthlyleaderboardswill be available, so wannabe Eddie VanHalenscan compete against other virtual Michael Angelo Batios worldwide.
A full press release is expected tomorrow with even more details on the March release ofGuitar Hero II. I’m feeling lightheaded.
