Guitar Hero is a music video game developed by Harmonix Music Systems and published by RedOctane for Guitar herothe PlayStation 2 video game console. It is the first entry in the Guitar Hero series. The games features a guitar-shaped peripheral (resembling a miniature Gibson SG) as the primary controller to simulate the playing of an electric guitar. Guitar Hero was released on November 8, 2005 in North America, April 7, 2006 in Europe and June 15, 2006 in Australia.
Guitar Hero has won many awards from major video game publications, and its success spawned the 2006 sequel Guitar Hero II for both the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox 360 and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s for PlayStation 2. A third game, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, will be released for PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.

Guitar Hero II is a music video game and a sequel to Guitar Hero. The second entry in the Guitar Hero series, it was developed by Harmonix Music Systems and published by RedOctane. It was first released for the PlayStation 2 in November 2006. The game was later released for the Xbox 360 in April 2007, with additional content not originally in the PlayStation 2 version.
Like the original Guitar Hero, the player uses a guitar-shaped peripheral to play rock songs as notes scroll towards the player. Most of the gameplay from the original game remains intact, with new modes and note combinations being the major additions. The game features more than 40 popular licensed songs, many of them cover versions recorded for the game, spanning five decades (from the 1960s to the 2000s).
The PlayStation 2 version of Guitar Hero II can be purchased individually or in a bundle that packages the game with a cherry red Gibson SG guitar controller. The Xbox 360 version of the game is offered in a bundle that packages the game with a white Gibson X-Plorer guitar controller. Both of these controllers are wired, but RedOctane also sells a wireless controller for the PlayStation 2.
Since its release, Guitar Hero II has been met with both critical and commercial success, helping the Guitar Hero series become a cultural phenomenon. It has spawned a spin-off, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s for the PlayStation 2. As of July 2007, a full-fledged sequel, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, is currently under development by Neversoft, the makers of the popular Tony Hawk series.
