Guitar Hero II is the follow-up to 2005's award-winning release, Guitar Hero, which rocked the game industry and garnered a stack of awards including: 'Best Offline Multiplayer Game 2005' and 'Music Game of the Year 2005' from IGN.com, and 'Best Soundtrack 2005' at the Spike TV Videogames Awards. Recently, it picked up five awards at the D.I.C.E. Summit's Interactive Achievement Awards including 'Outstanding Innovation in Gaming' and 'Family Game of the Year.'

In addition to the traditional head-to-head competition, Multiplayer Co-op Mode allows players to collaborate in order to beat songs, with each guitarist playing a separate guitar track. Available guitar tracks include lead, rhythm or bass tracks, depending upon the song. The Guitar Hero SG Controller used in the first installment will also be compatible with the new game.
