Well, one of my most anticipated games has finally came out. Guitar Hero: Rock the 80's. I've been a big fan of the series, though I can't stand the makers of it the game is insanely addicting. Basically "Rock the 80's" is nothing more than a small spin-off of Guitar Hero II. It has no different characters (and in fact less), no different guitars (also less), and the places you play are made to look more 80's, that's it. Judging from that you might not think it's a good game. However, this game, like the rest of the Guitar Hero games, are addicting.
The songs are exactly what I expected. Fairly simple verses, memorable choruses, and kick ass solos. My first run through of all the songs (which was on expert) I had 5 stars in every one except for 2. This should tell you how easy this game is compared to the first 2. I do think of all 3 of the games this game has the weakest song list as far as I'm concerned. Don't get me wrong, I love 80's music, especially 80's rock. If it were up to me I would have made this game a lot better with better songs, and more importantly better guitar oriented songs. I'm sorry but I'm never going to be able to get myself to play "Only a Lad" again. Not only that, they once again butchered a few good songs. "Heat of the Moment" is a damn good song, but how the sound quality is terrible and not a song that needs to be on guitar hero. Anyway, let's get to my top 5 favorite songs on the game, favorite songs to play, worst songs, and worst songs to play.

I'm afraid to play this game. lol. I keep thinking it will dumb down my guitar playing. That's a good song choice though to include "What I Like About You". It's pretty kick ass to play.
Yeah, to me it's one of the more difficult ones with the constant 3 note chords. Very fun indeed.
