Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s

Not too bad!

As a man who grew up in the 80's. I can safely attest that with the exception of the A-Team, nothing good ever came from that era. The clothes were HORRIBLE, the cars were horrible, in fact I can't remember the 80's other than the fact that I was more than happy that the 90's came around.

This game is a decent flashback to its music genre and I love it. Its not too corny, but memorable enough that I can imagine going back to my childhood and playing Go-bots -_- or G.I. Joe's all over again.

If you played Guitar Hero, you pretty much expect the same thing from this game. You mimic a guitar and press the color keys as they pass down at the bottom of your screen. The only incentive that this game offers is that the music genre is allocated to all 80's hits and some 80's misses.

  Rock the 80's doesn't really bring anything new to the Guitar Hero formula, but its amazing how its so uninspired.

  Rock The 80's continues the Guitar Hero formula and really doesn't change or add anything to it. If anything, Rock the 80's is missing so much things it almost questions what the developers were doing to the game during ... Read Full Review
