i was just thinking about how guitar hero rocks the 80's is being sold for 50 bucks. i personally think that for a game that is pretty much just an expansion they should charge less. maybe 30 or 40 dollars. does anyone else feel the same?

Not at all, 30 songs for $50? Guitar Hero II had 64 songs, as well as a better soundtrack, and it cost the same amount (for game only).

Still not worth it. The most I'd pay for it is $30, tops. I'll probably get it when it's $20.

Actually, it's effectively $25 at Best Buy. They're selling it for $40, and you get a $15 gift card with purchase. Only reason I'm buying the game, because I thought $50 was too high as well.

IMO it's not... I love the GH series but tbh there's only what, 5-6 worth songs?? No way jose!! You better wait a couple of months and get GH3, now that game will have better stuff.

I'm getting it because I Love the 80s and for $25 (or even $40) it's worth it because I'm playing less per song that I want to play than I did for GH2. $15 GC and the pre-purchase Wristband are icing.

You're paying less because you're getting less.

You're paying less because you're getting less.

In my opinion, I'm getting more. There's only about 7 or 8 songs I bother playing now in GH2. I don't care about the unlockable songs, and pretty much any song past 1990 is after my time (that one Nirvana song was kinda fun though).

So you love the 80's?? based on your experience with GH2, how many song do you think you'll end up playing after you have enough of the rest?? Because I could easily say I'd end up playing about 4-5. That's why I'm not getting it.

I grew up in the 80s, man. That was my time. Heck, the reason I got GH2 instead of GH1 was for Cherry Pie (I love playing that song). Let me look at the list real quick ... I'd say I'm really excited about 15 songs, that's half of the tracks. And I'd say I'll still be playing at least 10 of those in a few months (along some others that I won't know I like until I've played) That's something to look forward to. Again -- I would not have paid $50. Even $40 was iffy. But throw in a $15 Gift Card, and I'm picking it up tomorrow.

BTW, I recognize the fact that my age sets me apart from a large number of the posters on this forum. My reasons for purchasing are mine alone, and I understand fully if you don't care a whit about 80s music. A rental is probably a good idea though ... you might find you like more of the songs than you realize.

I understand pal. I wasn't trying to mess with you at all... I was just curious. I was born in the 80's, but I guess that's a bit different from growing up in said period of time. STill, I'm not un-familiar with most songs, and that's why I say I wouldn't be as interested.

Anyway,have fun with the 80's pal.

Is it worth it? Yes, but $50 is a bit much. I'd rather go on Ebay and get it for $30-$40 and start saving up for GH3. Thank God they're coming out with it on PS2 =D

Ok, so Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s wasn't as good as I had hoped, but it still had a few good and fun songs to play like "I Ran," Turning Japanese," and "Ballroom Blitz." Some songs like "Radar Love" though are just plain not fun to play and/or are boring. I really believe that this game (or rather song list supplement to Guitar Hero II) was over priced. For the content in this game, $20-30 USD is fair; not the $40-50 USD price point right now. Well, I'm a sucker for these things so that's what I get. At least I'll be having a fun time playing "Turning Japanese" a bunch of times. That song is exceptionally fun to play for some reason. Bottom line is that it isn't worth it. Don't get sucked in like I did.
