Brief synopsis of Guitar Hero: Rock the 80s

It's time to dig out your Gibson-shaped guitar peripheral, tape up your fingers and get ready to rock out in your living room once again. This time, however, you might want to grow your hair, put on a bandanna, buy some fingerless gloves and maybe dig out something with shoulder pads. Yup, Guitar Hero's doing it eighties style. Time to remember the bad old days.

Expect retro rock venues and hipster characters, unlockable guitars and 30 of your all-time favourite aural experiences from the decade that taste forgot.

20 songs and only a few I had heard of. No where near the quality of any of the other Guitar Hero games.
