that being said may sound like i didn't play it wrong i did play rock's the 80's and it was ok. the game has that same guitar hero feel it just doesn't have the value or the same great fun as the first two. the track list of course is all 80's music the problem is, number one i wasn't born in the 80's, number two is even though i wasn't born in the 80's i have heard a lot of music from that period ( thank's to vh1 calssic) andi think that the game could without a doubt have had a better list of song's and band's. like metallica or megadeth (even though i don't like megadeth very much). the third thing is on top of the list being poor it's also short only 5 venue's mean's you will get through the game in one sitting wich is a big problem indeed. but under it's problem's rock's the 80's is the same great guitar hero gamplay ( at least) i rented the game and so should you cause you'll get your money's worth ($8) instead of the full price of $49.99. the forth and final thing is WHERE DID ALL THE CHARACTER'S GO?. so i say rent it don't buy it and have fun (though you might find it hard with these tracks) and save some cash.
