Oh, boy...! eBay wants ME to write a review about a "Guitar Hero & Guitar Hero II Dual Pack (Playstation 2)" I recently bought. Here goes... pay close attention to a "Redneck Guy From Kansas." I purchased the 2-CD set for my son from seller "deal2002." We already had Guitar Hero III in a packaged set with a guitar purchased from Wal-Mart. We liked it so much, I had to get the 2 previous versions. The Buy-It-Now price "deal2002" had for the 2-CD set wasn't any more than Wal-Mart's everyday low price for JUST ONE GUITAR HERO CD! The shipping wasn't bad also. Even better, I didn't have to pay any sales tax on the set. Even better-better... I didn't have to get up from my comfortable chair to make my purchase. "deal2002" didn't mess around with shipping them out, and we had the set in about 3 days. The listing said they were supposed to be "used," but when I examined the disks, they were spotless. No scratches, nothing. Virgin surfaces and condition. I'd say we were the first to use them. As for the games, we've had loads of fun playing the Guitar Hero series. I'm 53 years old, and it's really cool watching my kids play songs I listened to when I was young - and enjoying them! Alice Cooper, Cream, Rolling Stones, Kiss, ZZ Top. It reminds me of Jack Black's movie, "School of Rock." My kids never heard of these songs until we bought Guitar Hero. Timeless classic rock with no foul language in them. It's great family fun! My son's favorite songs at the moment are "School's Out," by Alice Cooper, "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain, and "Iron Man," by Black Sabbath. Guitar Hero III has a more refined menu than the previous versions, but that's understandable. If we bought the I and II versions first, we would have appreciated the improvements in III more. The games are a good analogy of what it takes to become a rock legend. You have to "pay yer dues," to get there. Work your way up the ladder, play better, composed better songs, get bigger venues to play at while working for less than minimum wages at times. My oldest daughter wanted to become a "famous singer" a few years ago, and asked me how she could become one. I don't know the music business, but I simply replied, "Get a band, start writing songs, and play every smoky bar and nightclub in the USA until someone in the music business thinks you're good enough to make music that people will buy." In conclusion, all the Guitar Hero games are toe-tapping FUN! You get a game that's challenging (try expert level, I DARE you), will keep your attention at all times, and some great music to listen to. You can even plug in 2 guitars at once, and double your fun. At the time of this writing, I see seller "deal2002" is still selling the Guitar Hero 1 & II double pack sets. If you recently bought the Guitar Hero III game and guitar set like we did for the first time, do yourself a favor, and get the I & II dual pack from "deal2002," and TRIPLE YOUR FUN!

When I first received the Dual Game Pack, I was impressed of how well the game played and how easy it was to play the game being a first timer. I love the feature that you can practice and actually learn how to play the guitar controler. The only thing I dont like is that you have to play the song at it's normal speed which could be tough with some fast upbeat songs.
I got this game for my daughter and she loves it. She is 19 years old, i am 44 and i have played the game with her i was very surprised at how much i liked it also.The music is very good, its my kind of music also my daughter loves the songs because she was raised with old rock and roll. We can hardly wait to get # 3. I just want to tell you that its hard to keep young kids off of the streets and out of trouble but with games like this that even the parents can have fun with its nice. I think that ages about 8 or 9 to whatever the age is wood really have fun with it. I also think that its a good source of exercise if you are like my daughter and her friends they really act the part of a rocker. They jump around and do all kinds of things that the real rock bands do. They dont just sit and play. I have 9 year olds over here, 45 year olds and every other age in between playing this game. Thank to the makers we have a lot of fun.Read full review
I bought this for my two grand sons who are ten and eleven years old, for Christmas. They are into games and music, and have played it with there friends already. This is a surprise for them and they do not know if they will get it or not for Christmas. They should be the ones writing this review since they are into these games and I am not. They requested it as something of importance for a Christmas gift.
For Christmas I bought my son Guitar Hero III, that game is incredible. It is tons of fun, and we can't stop playing it. So I thought I would buy Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II. These two games do not even come close to Guitar Hero III. They are not as much fun to play because are a lot slower, and the music isn't as realistic. I would not purchase either one of these games again if I would have known what I know now about them. I am very much looking forward to Guitar Hero Aero Smith which is supposed to be released sometime in June 2008 I believe.
