Probably the most addictive in the franchise, Guitar Hero 2 was probably when the series began to overstay their welcome.

For better of worse, we all had these damn things cluttering up our homes for years.

For kids like me who had grown up gaming and were now entering college, it was a perfect gateway into more "adult" gaming sessions where drunken braggadocios debauchery was taking more of a spotlight, something this game facilitated beautifully in lieu of a proper karaoke party (we had no money for that). The memories of loud parties made even louder by the occasional squeaking of missed chords, all while downing shitty beer is like a comfort blanket I'll carry with me forever.
