Red Octane yesterday announced that Guitar Hero II will be released across Europe in November, and as close to the North American launch as possible. Although a tracklist for the game is yet to be confirmed by the publisher, RedOctane has previously confirmed there will be more songs than the original, and that there will be more diverse multiplayer modes.
"We"re absolutely overjoyed to be able to announce that the European release is as close to the US street date we can possibly make it," says Dave Noble, Business Development Director, RedOctane. "RedOctane is now in a position to be able to deliver Guitar Hero II to games players all over the world at roughly the same time - and we"re committed to ensuring the widest possible range of tunes to anyone with a Guitar Hero Gibson SG controller." Guitar Hero II will be released with a replica Gibson SG controller, or as a standalone title for Guitar Hero veterans.
