Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s and sucks!
Oh dear! Good job we didn't buy this...
Unfortunately, I’m walking away from Guitar Hero Rocks the 80’s feeling a bit slighted. As much as the series had right in Guitar Hero 2, you’d think that keeping that formula would be way to go. For some reason, this version feels rushed. The stable of available characters has been reduced to 5, with only one unlockable character. Likewise, there are no bonus tracks provided. Yes, this was information that was given to us prior to launch, but hearing it and actually experiencing it are two different things.
Rather than feeling like a solid new game experience, this feels like a trumped-up expansion pack. On the whole, Guitar Hero Rocks the 80’s just feels like something that was slapped together in a couple of weeks, and tossed out the door in the hopes of capitalizing on the immense popularity of the series. With the stripped down extras, this feels like something that should have been an add-on, rather than a full game, and definitely not something that should have sported a $50 price tag
