80s Heroes - T'Pau/Go West

Advantages: New songs
Disadvantages: Only hard core 80s rock fans will know most of the songs

...The is the newest Guitar Hero game for the PS2. Basically it has exactly th same layout and design as Guitar Hero 2. All of the menus are the same and the gameplay is the same. The only real difference is the songs. All the songs are rock songs that were around in the 80s. The only problem I have found with this is that I only reconised 3 of the 30 songs on the game. Now I was born in the 80s so I though that might be the reason, but my parents also didn't know hardly any of the songs. That didn't really detract from the entertainment of playing the game as it really doesn't matter that much if you know the songs, but it would have been nice to have a few popular ones on there. The game is as good as ever, you take control of a character and set up a band. You then play songs to earn money to buy new guitars and you progress to harder... Read review

Advantages: Good first impressions
Disadvantages: Graphics, Price, Simple gameplay

...Having successfully managed to find one, I was terribly excited just to take it home and get it all wired up. My first game was Baseball, and have to say became quite bored after about an hour of playing. It just didn't have that old-school effect on me as the Xbox and Playstation did. In my opinion, Nintendo were desperate for market domination once again, so designed a games console that would be a huge step further than the other market rivals. The truth being is that they concentrated too much on the simulator control, and forgot other important things such as Graphics and exciting game play. The gaming was old school, as it reminded me of those arcade games from the late 80's - 90's, with slightly better graphics. The games are very simple, either sport or action, and only required the swing of an arm to play In conclusion, Wii... Read review
