Customer Reviews
the rundown...
Rating: 2
-- No new characters (although the 80's versions of the standard characters are pretty funny)
-- No buyable outfits
-- No new buyable guitars from The Store
-- No new buyable guitar skins (don't let the leopard-print guitar on the package fool you!)
-- No new unlockable guitars (the Fish, the Coffin, etc. are still the only ones you get after completing each level)
-- No new venues (though it appears the background changes somewhat)
-- No new fellow band/audience members (same grunge-era dudes!)
-- No buyable 80's songs from The Store
-- No new buyable characters from The Store (all you get is the same Reaper from GH2)
So, basically, it's not a "new" game at all. More like an expansion pack (I guess this explains the word "Encore"), and a fairly weak one at that.
On the plus side, many of the 80's songs featured here are good choices---though certainly not all of them. I am particularly pleased they included some bigger hits from Flock of Seagulls and .38 Special, to name a few. However, when I think about all the great 80's songs they could have included and didn't, it's another disappointment.
However, I do want to mention the FANTASTIC decision to include "Play With Me" as the final encore track. I wasn't familiar with the song based on the name, but after playing it I recognized the tune. It's the song playing in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure when the historical characters run around in the mall wreaking havoc. And, played all the way through, it's a fabulously difficult and elaborate song. So that part alone was worth a lot of the previous let-downs. But, on the whole, I would either skip this game altogether or, if you're really a fan, try to pick up a used copy somewhere for cheaper. I'd say a $10 price tag would make this game worth it.
Great, but wish it had more well known bands
Rating: 5
The game is as great as all of them are; however, my only complaint is that I was expecting more of the well known bands and songs. For example, Guns and Roses, Def Leopard, AC/DC, White Snake, Metallica, etc... Still, the game is great. The buying experience was excellent as always from Amazon.
I would recommend this game, but don't buy it thinking you will be swimming in "big hair band" euphoric nostalgia.
Absolutely HORRIFIC!
Rating: 1
Avoid this game at all costs. I was one of the first to buy this game because of how much I loved GH 2. Too bad this game made me want to avoid all future GH series. This game has 2 maybe 3 songs that are actually fun to play. All of the songs are boring 90% of them I had no idea what they were or why they were chosen for the game. I got 5 gold stars on almost every song my first time around so I knew this 80's game was worthless so I sold it on ebay the next day. It was not fun to play YOU CAN'T BUY MORE SONGS and it's all the same characters just in stupid outfits. Save your money.
