If Guitar Hero 2 had released in the day & age of DLC, the songs in this game would've likely just been ones you could add to it. Rocks the 80s is essentially GH2.5 ---- and I am a-okay with that. Same tried-and-true gameplay with a new, albeit slightly shorter, setlist of songs to shred to. Introduced me to some new bands & helped me continue to foster my growing love for classic rock.
