Once purchased, they are playable in quick play, competitive, and co-operative modes. All bonus songs are unlockable by using in-game money within the game's store. There are 24 bonus songs in the PlayStation 2 version of Guitar Hero II and 2 additional songs for the Xbox 360 version.
Most songs in the game are covers of the original songs performed by WaveGroup Sound, but there are some master recordings as indicated below.
Once a song is unlocked in a tier at any difficulty, it is available for the quick play, competitive, and co-operative modes. Each tier at a given difficulty is unlocked in order, and a tier is completed once three to five songs (depending on the difficulty level) and the tier's encore song are successfully completed. Songs are organized by tiers that are related to the song's difficulty, and there are differences between the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 ordering due to the extra songs. There are 40 songs in the main Career mode for the PlayStation 2 version, and 48 songs in the Xbox 360 version. The Xbox 360 version adds an additional 24 downloadable songs via Xbox Live Marketplace, bringing the total to 98 songs. There are 64 songs total in the PlayStation 2 version while there are 74 songs total for the later Xbox 360 version. These levels reflect the number of fret buttons used and the number and frequency of the notes to be performed. Each song can be played at one of four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert. Successfully hitting notes improves the player's performance in the game and also raises their score, while missing notes will reduce the player's performance, and a poor performance may end the song prematurely.
As notes scroll down the screen towards the player, the player must hit both the fret buttons on the guitar controller and the strum bar at the same time to successfully hit the notes.
Guitar Hero II challenges players to recreate the lead guitar portions of many rock music songs using a specially designed guitar-shaped controller, based on either a Gibson SG for the PlayStation 2 version, a Gibson Explorer for the Xbox 360 version, or else a standard console controller. The game was released first to PlayStation 2 in 2006 but later released for the Xbox 360 in 2007. Guitar Hero II is a music video game developed by Harmonix and distributed by RedOctane, and is a sequel to Guitar Hero. The guitar controllers bundled with Guitar Hero II: cherry red Gibson SG (PS2) and Gibson Explorer (Xbox 360)
