Title: Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s officially announced; 6 more songs revealed
Post by: The Oggmonster on May 10, 2007, 06:53:21 PM
QuoteActivision officially announced Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s today, though it's been known about for quite some time. As the title implies, this one will feature popular songs from the 1980s.

The game will be compatible with the standard SG Guitar Hero controllers, so those who have held onto them are in luck. It will feature a number of different venues and characters, as usual, though this time they will be '80s-themed.

Activision saw fit to announce 7 of the 30 songs that will be appearing in the game:

* I Wanna Rock (by Twisted Sister)
* I Ran (by Flock of Seagulls)
* Round and Round (as made famous by Ratt)
* I Want Candy (as made famous by Bow Wow Wow)
* Metal Health (as made famous by Quiet Riot)
* Holy Diver (as made famous by Dio)
* Heat Of The Moment (as made famous by Asia)

"The 80s features an amazing variety of rock genres from hair metal to punk to new wave, and our dedicated Guitar Hero fans will definitely appreciate the opportunity to play all the new and exciting content we've added," said Dusty Welch, head of publishing at RedOctane. "As we delve deeper into the history of rock, we'll continue to offer a fresh experience and even more explosive tracks with the Guitar Hero franchise."

It's worth noting that the press release says 80's Edition was developed by Harmonix, so it seems GH development duties hadn't yet been passed to Neversoft when work on this began.

Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s will be out for the PS2 this summer.

Oh, God... Twisted Sister? Ew. What a terrible song track. The only thing good in there is I Ran. Not much to brag about, Ogg.  burned;

Nobody does, not even me, because most of their work sucks ass. I do love "Heat of the Moment" and "Open Your Eyes" though. "Sole Survivor" isn't too bad either. Everything else sucks.

You're just saying that because you don't like rock. doom; Sure, it's expensive, but it's worth it.

I'm still pissed they can make an 80s Guitar Hero game and not have any 80s thrash metal. Where's Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Exodus, etc.?

IF YOU'RE IN THE GAME, THEN THE STROKE'S THE WORD

But yeah, Billy Squier only had a few hits, and "Lonely is the Night" is one of them. "The Stroke" is by far his most famous.

Since it's 80s, GNR might show up again, and I'm betting on either Def Leppard, Journey, or even both of them having a song for the game.

Crappy, yes. I admit that this is not a very good list. Some of these songs just don't really seem like Guitar Hero material. I mean, I like "Heat of the Moment," but I'll be damned if it's appropriate for this game.
