It's a negative introduction certainly, but it seems bizarre that this game would focus on rock and metal to the exclusion of such archetypal 80s music. In short, this could almost be any Guitar Hero game - where are the nasal male vocals, weedy sampled drums and synthesisers that so characterised the decade? It's not even like I particularly like new romantic, but at the very least, including some of the signature tracks would give the game more personality. Sadly though, new romantic is very poorly represented, and the end result is a game that just isn't iconic enough in its 80s-ness. ![]() Metal, on the other hand, is perfect for GH and is represented in abundance in Rocks the 80s (with all three of the bands mentioned with tracks in the game), as it has been in previous Guitar Hero games. ![]() ![]() Now, we can obviously strike hip hop from the record, because aside from some heavy guitar riffs on the Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill and on Run DMC records, it's not exactly a genre suited to Guitar Hero.
