Feel the grip of your spandex and smell the hairspray as you take the stage and become an 80's rock hero! The 1980's were a crazy decade when big hair, tight clothes, and fresh attitudes ruled the music scene. In Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80's, play totally awesome songs from the 1980's with Guitar Hero characters decked out in sweet retro outfits. Turn off that tape deck on your boom box, and pick up and play Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80's! Killer 80's soundtrack - pick up your axe and rock out to tracks ranging from New Wave to Hair Metal. Every song will have you tapping your feet and banging your head. Guitar Hero 2: Rocks the 80's puts 2 players closer to the rock experience, enabling players to play cooperatively with 1 person on lead guitar, and the second on bass or rhythm guitar. Challenge a friend and jam in 2 competitive multiplayer modes. Master those 80's hits using the awesome practice mode, where you can play any part of any song or even slow down the songs to really nail those difficult sections.

"This is most certainly not worth the $50 price tag. It's like an expansion pack. There are only 30 songs. A few of the characters were removed. The unlock shop only has half of what it used to. The gameplay itself is still just as perfect as it was on GHII, and the song selection depends on personal preferance but I thought it was decent. It looks pretty good if you can turn on the progressive scan mode (480p). ..." Read Full Review »

"Guitar Hero: Rock the 80s is quite simply a thrown-together cash-grab effort. It's Guitar Hero 2 with some cheap 80s neon thrown in. Not only are there no new characters or venues, there are actually LESS than GH2. Ridiculous. Characters all have one new outfit, nothing more.

"Any Guitar Hero fan will be ecstatic at the release of a new game in the series (myself included), but I have to say I'm a bit dissapointed with Rocks the 80s. There are 30 main songs, that's it.
