http://www.gamespot.com/e3/e3story.html?sid=6150322&pid=932565
The highlights from News:
-Some of the bass and rhythm parts we came across during our playtime could be called markedly more difficult than even the lead parts.
-The mechanics of playing co-op are sort of a crossbreed between the first game's single- and multiplayer modes. You're both tied to a single rock meter, a single star-power meter, and a single combo counter.
-Once your star-power meter is filled, you both have to tilt your guitars at the same time to enact the star power.
-The one new gameplay thing we did notice is the addition of three-button chords. These seemed reserved primarily for big finishes, but yes, there are times where you'll have to hit three buttons at once
Latest Guitar Hero II Video: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/puzzle/guitarhero2/media.html
The highlights from video:
- New Character: King Kendall
Bio: When he's not cruisin' around
Reno in his '53 Ford, King Kendall
brings his brand of hard-working
rock to any stage he sets foot
on. A real "road dog." Kendall
claims that as long as he's got his
hollow body and a tin of pamada,
he "ain't too far from home."
-Not much hope for online play.
-No comment on a new guitar model for II.
-Was hinted toward the possiblity of Guitar Hero going multi-platform now that Red Octane has been aquired by Activision.
-Single player is still only lead guitar.
-Co-op mode will either have Lead + Rhythm or Lead + Bass depending on the song.
-Practice mode will have preset sections that you will be able to choose from to practice by looping and slowing it down.

BIG thumbs down for that. 
Also, why only have three button chords for big endings? That seems like a waste to me.

He said they were mostly for the big endings. And according to stv2049's Quick N Dirty GH2 Report and the images he took, it sure looked like the triple chord was in the middle of the song.
PS: I am stoked for GH2.

Wow, the guys playing during the John Tam interview were absolutely awful, even on medium. I hope we can get some videos of some good players jamming on expert.

I'm kind of disappointed that in single player mode you'll only be able to play the lead guitar. I was looking forward to messing around with the bass and rhythem guitar parts... I don't know anybody else who plays this game so I'm stuck in single player mode.
Still really looking forward to the game though :-) |

Anthrice, he said he won't be seeing it until '07 because he lives in Europe.
