New interview with John Tam (from RedOctane) about Guitar Hero 2 over at IGN....

The hightlights:
-  New multiplayer mode where one player plays the lead guitar part, with the other handling rythm/bass/etc.
-  Each player can select a different difficulty in multiplayer.
-  Practice mode where you\'ll be able to loop a particular section of a song.  No mention if you\'ll be able to slow it down, though.
-  They\'re aiming to have 40 licensed songs, up from 30 in the original.
-  The indie songs may be from more than just the in-house bands.  They\'ll also be running the Be A Guitar Hero contest again.
-  They\'ve been talking with some of the artists of the new licensed songs, and there have been a few mentions of using the master tracks from the songs, so there may be a few less covers this time around.

For Those About to Rock With Guitar Hero II, We Salute You! RedOctane Announces Fall US Tour Date
Sequel to Award-Winning Music Videogame to Be Unveiled at E3; Choose Your Weapon – Rhythm, Lead or Bass Guitar

- April 17, 2006 - Sunnyvale, CA

Get ready for a rock encore! RedOctane® announced today that Johnny Napalm and friends will begin touring the US again this Fall in the new videogame “Guitar Hero II™”. Picking up where Guitar Hero™ left off, Guitar Hero II arrives with a new track list, new venues and additional play modes – including the ability to transform the original Gibson SG Guitar Hero Controller into a rhythm, lead or bass guitar.

“Guitar Hero has proved phenomenally successful! Guitar Hero veterans will be able to plug in their Gibson SG Guitar Hero Controllers and rock GH II straight out of the box,” said Kelly Sumner, CEO of RedOctane. “We will really push the envelope with Guitar Hero II. Despite the fact there are many months until release, we’re already implementing exciting features and innovations. This fall we’re going to rock everyone’s world all over again.”

The top-secret sequel song list remains firmly in the rock domain, pulling from a mix of classic rock, ‘hair’ metal, heavy metal, modern rock, and alternative titles. More than 55 songs will be featured in the next installment.

Veteran music videogame developer Harmonix® Music Systems has been busy in-studio, enriching this rockstar experience with more features and multiplayer modes. 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.

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.

RedOctane has confirmed an early glimpse of the upcoming game will be available during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles next month.

The game that has inspired a nation of wannabe rock stars to achieve video game greatness is scheduled for a new US tour on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system in November 2006.

This might be one of the best ideas for a video game ever. Surprised it didn\'t come out a long time ago. I might just be buying myself a console solely for this game.

Oh man, can\'t wait for this release.....i am counting down the days. I recently held a Guitar Hero contest in my store (Guitar Center) on a saturday afternoon and offered any customer who could beat me 15% off any single item in the store!!! 15% off a $3000 SG is a hell of a deal, and no one could pull it off.

i REALLY hope the \'search and destroy\' is the RHCP version, though it seems unlikely since they had a song on the first one as well..
