According to the March issue of OXM, Steve Vai's guitar-charged "Halo Theme (Mjolnir Mix)" could be a downloadable track for Guitar Hero II. Heck, if Spartan-458 can jiggle in Dead or Alive 4, then Halo 2's theme can be strummed along to in the GHII encore. This is one Halo rumor that smells probable; if not simply because it screams, "impulse buy!"Assuming we'd have to pay to play, the Halo theme has the potential to pocket as many micropayments as just about any licensed track imaginable. This is the Xbox 360 venue, folks, where Master Chief is as big as any 'Rock God' -- dead or alive.
And it could go a little something like this...

Guitar Hero is taking over the world and I love it. Rhythm games and gimmick controllers UNITE!

Maybe for sellouts, and children who don't know what good music is.

My favorite "mix" of the Halo theme is played in the final two minutes of the escape sequence from the Pillar of Autumn. I enjoy Marty's music as much as any bloke and would love to pretend I could actually play it via GH2.

So does that mean the only good games are ones that win awards?
Are the only good movies are the ones that win awards?
I really don't see how just because something won some bullshit award, it invalidates everyone else's opinion.
By your logic, Brokeback Mountain was the best movie of 2005, and noone is allowed to believe otherwise?
I didn't realize music awards was the determination of what is considered good.
So everything I like can't be considered good, because it hasn't won any awards? This is news to me,
Do you always let other people decide what you like? Or are you capable of forming your own opinion?

And Brett, I have to agree, the OG is where it's at. Though, I'll most likely get this anyway.

I don't think it's necessarily an "abysmal recording," but the Halo 2 theme (meaning this one) is not as good as the original. That theme wasn't meant to have a "wailing guitar" over it, and it really sounds out of place.

If you think Steve Vai is killing the guitar, you'd be right (but in a good way).
