Guitar Hero Rocks the 80's.


Both Kirsty and I love Guitar Hero for the PS2. We’ve loved it ever since Lisa won a promo copy of GH1 with a guitar controller, and it took over our days for weeks on end. Once completed, we had to wait and wait in the hope that there would be a sequel. Eventually Guitar Hero II showed up, bigger, badder, more songs, brilliant. Many more days and nights were filled whilst Kirsty and I pretended to be Tony Iommi. Once GHII was completed the wait was on, and alas, we find out there are TWO new Guitar Hero games in the pipeline, Guitar Hero Rock the 80’s, and Guitar Hero III.

Whilst shopping on Tuesday, I noticed GH: Rock the 80’s on the shelf, bang, Lisa picked it up and it was in the trolley. This was two days ago. I’ve already completed it on expert level, and I feel cheated.

There are only 30 tracks this time round, and when you complete it, you can’t use the cash you’ve earned to unlock further songs. Granted it would be difficult to unearth 80’s metal tracks from bands ‘new’ bands, but the makers should’ve at least put more titles on the initial game to make up for this.
Hopefully business will be back to usual for GHIII.
