    if your fan of a certain age this is a must have addition. Great tutorial and music selection, really expands the song library and difficulty level.

    So, NO it is not as good/elaborate as previous versions. It is not supposed to be. It's just an expansion of the prior version. No new charachters, no new stages, no new axes, no behind the scenes unlockables, etc (for the most part this is true, some minor changes). The reality is that the new songs ROCK and as always a ton of fun. A definate purchase!!!

    Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s only has 30 songs and no unlockable songs to purchase. The song list is ok like the other guitar hero games not every songs a homerun .I think its over priced 50 bucks for 30 songs is not a good deal at all.That being said some of the songs are great this is good for a guitar hero fan who wants to play new songs.

    Great Guitar Game...not much effort!!

    I love all the guitar hero games and this one was no exception. However, it looks just like Guitar Hero 2 with the venues and graphics...just with new songs from the 80's. The game is also relatively short compared to Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero 2. It is still a must have for any Guitar Hero fan.

    Rock On

    This game is very enjoyable. Not only is it fun to play with a remote, but it is great to rock out the songs on this game with the guitars. The songs on the game are suitable and fun for the whole family. You'll get lost in the game and find yourself playing these songs for hours full of fun!

    This new game for the Guitar Hero series is amazing. All of the songs just make you want to turn up the volume and jam as if a live band was backing you up. If you own or know someone who owns a PS2 and loves true rock n roll, then you and everyone else would love this product.

    i went in a few weeks ago, and saw that people can play it. so i went and played it and it was freakin amasing. the thing that i liked the most was that people was standing behind me watching me play and saying that i was really good at it. sincerely, Bryan

    This game is good, it's just like GH2 but different songs. To me the new songs are good because playing the same ones over and over again can get pretty tiring. Buy this game if you are a fan of GH2.

    Rock the 80's is what it does

    This game has all of the great features of the past titles, but these tracks are moe difficult and a lot of fun to play. All of the songs are lodies but goodies that you do not still hear eveyday.

    It's Alright

    It has quite a few good songs, but a total of only 30 songs is a very small amount for $50. I also wish they kept "Lars" in the encore version, he is great in guitar hero 2 & 3

    This is one of the best GH games to come out so far. The sound track is phenomenal with several great tracks to rock to. Over all it is a great game and a must buy.

    if you liked GH1 this is very similar - which is great, but doesn't offer much extra functionality. either way, still a blast!

    Buyer beware... wait for GH3

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This game was a big let down for the GH series. I don't think a game has ever released a game later in the series and decided to remove characters and features that were hits in previous titles. I purchased this game for $40 and received a $15 gift card. I tell myself it was worth the $25, but I only believe that because I wanted new songs to play. As for anyone wanting to shell out $50 for this game, I'd say wait for GH3
