Guitar Hero II's landing on Xbox 360 came with great fanfare, but it wasn't an entirely smooth ride. Microsoft wasn't too keen on sharing their proprietary wireless technology with RedOctane and the game ended up shipping with a wired axe. Everybody in their right mind knows that you can rock harder without a wire holding you down. Public outcry and internal dealings eventually did the trick and RedOctane has become the first 3rd Party to be given permission to make a wireless controller for Xbox 360. IGN recently made the trip to go see and toy around with the first prototype. It isn't functional yet, but we can already see that it's a step above the current Xbox 360 controller.
The top-selling third-party games of all time across consoles include GTA V, Call of Duty, and Guitar Hero.

In the summer, we all do things that cool us off. That’s just conventional wisdom. But what if we’ve been going about it all wrong? What if the solution is leaning in to the heat, diving into even hotter activities to show the summer we’re not scared?
Let’s beat summer at its own game here. Whether you want to murder your way through hell or skate over it, gaming has got you covered.
COGconnected - It seems like the era of rhythm game dominance has come and gone but we argue that there's still room for them if they make a few key changes.
No we DONT need guitar hero or rockband. These games have had 7+titles each console cycle and Im tired of these being the mainstream and practically only focused on musical game.
Amplitude was brought back for PS4 yet with the tech and magic of DLC we didnt get it because not only gamers but devs have become out of touch.
Thumper impressed many and is at least a step in the right direction. I rather have more games like thumper. So screw all this rockband and Guitar hero BS! Take your guitars and peripherals and break them in half!

I preferred the patapon games but yeah. We need rhythm games to come back this gen
so like 4 days ago that news post that was "ps3" only about 2 guitar hero videos of 2 diff songs was really the 360, they used one of the same pictures and in this you can clearly see the 360 behind that guy. why does everyone (devs) show off the 360 version of the game to the magazines? gta4, cod4, gh3, assasins creed... hmm i wonder.
Looks great! Looks really well built aswell.
I may just buy Guitar Hero III now and then GHII after. I've played GHII on the PS2 and it was real fun.
This model isnt set in stone
