Last Friday, we brought you the first 31 songs from Guitar Hero II's career mode, and now we can finally update you with the full list of 40 finger-burners set to electrify your ears when the digital-riff sequel launches on PS2 on November 7, and on Xbox 360 - with the fret-tasticX-Plorer peripheral - next spring.
We'll cut right to the musical chase and give you the list in full below, some of which have been switched around to different difficulty levels than previously reported (titles added since the last story are in bold). Bear in mind, though, that that purveyor of console rock, developer Harmonix, will also have squeezed in a bundle of original tracks for your aural enjoyment.
