Guitar Hero 2 is a great game, and this will be the first time that we get to play it in true Dolby Digital 5.1 with six fully dedicated sound channels!!! This is the kind of game that the Xbox 360 was meant to play in high-definition with surround sound speakers!!!

The new songs, and extra features will make this game enjoyable for people who already have purchased it. Plus, playing it in high-definition makes it infinitely more exciting!!!
