  • Abstract:  Think you can ever get enough of Guitar Hero? We dont, so long as RedOctane and company keep kicking out killer track lists. Unfortunately, thats not exactly the case with Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s.The game and expansion pack of sorts that w...

  • Abstract:  “Always re-tease your hair before the encore. ALWAYS.” Good advice for a good time. The 80s were an era of ridiculous hairstyles, outrageous clothing, and a distinct type of rock music that lives on today in memory and in many CD compilations...

  • Its more Guitar Hero! Who wouldnt want that?
  • Its basically an expansion pack with all the bonus features cut out. The Final Word Playing Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s is a bit like going to see your favourite band on an off-night -- even if they dont rock the house down, youre still going to have ...

  • Abstract:  Note the word "encore" in the title. Its an admission that this is the same game as Guitar Hero II, with just a selection of 30 new tracks from the decade of big hair, skinny ties and shameless excess. With no new modes, characters or venues, no...

  • Abstract:  We rock on with the encore performance of Guitar Hero for PlayStation 2. "Do we even need to review this, or can we just slap another 10 on it?" Thats the thought that crossed our minds when Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s arrived in our offices. A...

  • Soundtrack consists of mostly great 80s tunes that are quite fun to play, Multiplayer and practice modes are intact.
  • Thirty songs for $50 is a lousy value any way you slice it, A few real C- and D-list song choices, Presentation is a cheap 80s dress-up of Guitar Hero II.
  • There are certainly some bona fide 80s showstoppers on this expansion, but all told, this is Guitar Hero II with a coat of neon paint and half as much content. ...

  • Abstract:  Okay, you already know how Guitar Hero works don’t you? First, you consume enough alcohol so you don’t feel stupid holding a plastic guitar, but not too much that you might believe the five different colour dots racing towards the screen are attacking ...

  • Abstract:  Låt oss börja med att göra en sak klart, Guitar Hero är fortfarande ett riktigt kul spel. Men - lite jäkla ansträngning kan man väl i alla fall förvänta sig? Eller kanske inte. För Guitar Hero Rocks the 80’s är spelmässigt fullkomligt id...
