Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Fun but way overpriced.
I have confirmed that this game is so totally not worth its retail price tag ($49.99 last time I was at Best Buy, I think it might be about $5.00 cheaper on Amazon). I guess I'll start with the negatives because those are easier to remember.

-There are only 30 songs total, as opposed to the previous games' 58 tracks. There are no unlockable tracks that you can buy in the store. You get the set 30 and that's it.
-Way too many obscure songs. I recognized most of the bands, but some ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rock the 80's
Very good game..I have only recently gotten into Guitar Hero, my wife is a huge fan of the series and she got me into playing them. This is by far my favorite of the 3 that I have played. (have not played GH3 yet)
Like all the GH series, its fairly easy to pick up if its your first try, and they have a very good selection of songs from the era.
If you like the GH series, you will love Encore. If you are new to the series, I would recommend starting off with GH1 and working your way up, ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Buy this last, it's half a game by comparison
My brother in law happened to have this sitting around and let us have it. It's just like Guitar Hero 2 except it about half the game. It has less songs, and no extra songs you can buy. It has half the characters and the ones it does have are just new outfits on the guitar hero 2 characters. It has a bunch of good songs on it, but it's value should be about 1/2 of a full game since it took about as much work to make as an expansion pack. Think of it as an expansion pack for Guitar Hero 2.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - One Word: LAZY
When this first came out, I almost bought it, but at the last second I changed my mind and rented it later. I'm glad I did.

This game is nothing but GH2 with 80's window dressing. I mean, the opening sequence is EXACTLY THE SAME, only the characters are now sporting 80's styles. As soon as I saw that, I got a bad feeling, and it only got worse from there. Everything--and I do mean EVERYTHING--is right out of GH2. I couldn't even make it through the first round before quitting in digust. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Guitar Hero 80s
This game appears to be easy at first but I am failing songs on Hard and have just a few racked up for Extreme. It's got a great song selection if you are a fan of 80s music. It's a good game. Graphics and concepts much more simple but still very fun.
