Get out your aquanet: It's time to rock the 80s!

If you are as addicted to rocking in your living room as I am, then you should get this title. However, it is not without flaw and I certainly don't recommend it as your first purchase in the GH series. It plays the same as Guitar Hero II, but with an 80s theme, both visually and musically. The problems lie not in gameplay, but in sound, something that I feel is critical for a successful music game. Most songs featured in the GH series are covers, but I feel GH: Rocks the 80s has lower quality covers than the other two games. Additionally, some songs suffer from poor production, the guitars are too loud, drowning out the vocals. This can be adjusted in the options menus, but its a hassle to fine tune each song, something that didn't need to be done in the past. Another place this game is lacking is bonus content. Aside from the encores unlocked by beating levels, there are no additional songs available for purchase, meaning there are far fewer songs on this disk than you may have come to expect. Overall, it's still a fun game and will bridge the time to GH III's release, but don't expect too much.

A great awesome game to play! Guitar hero encore rock the 80s has great songs and stuff except i have to give it 3 stars becuase they only have 30 songs and no unlockable songs and alot less things then the second guitar hero, other then that it is a really fun game. This game has all the best songs from the 80s and my favorite song in the 80s is nothin but a good time. I wasnt born in the 80s but i know they got some dang good music. Even if you get bored you can invite your friends over and compete and it makes it 2x more fun! I am still trying to master hard mode... I have 2 suggestions the make the game way better. 1 is to get surround sound and 2 is to get a wireless guitar.
