Guitar Hero II confirmed for 360

Activisionlet it slipearlier in the week that Guitar Hero II would be coming to multiple platforms, but today we've got proof - a few early screens and a photo of the new controller for theXbox 360 edition. The 360-appropriate white X-Plorer controller will work just like the PS2 version, right down to the wire - unfortunately, early belief that the controller was wireless turned out to be unfounded rumor, confused by the lack of a cord in the photo.The controller is an update tothe classic Gibson Explorer solidbody guitar, made famous by (among other players) The Edge of U2.

If you're a 360 gamer and you aren't up to date with Guitar Hero II, go check out ourPlayStation 2 coverage so far. We're pressing Activision for a release date, so check back for continuing coverage.
