Hendo Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 So far this is PS2 exclusive, but if it gets brought over to the Wii as well I reckon we could move it over? Anyway the final tracklist has been revealed... * Caught in a Mosh (as made famous by Anthrax) * Balls to the Wall (as made famous by Accept) * Electric Eye (by Judas Priest) * Los Angeles (as made famous by X) * Police Truck (as made famous by Dead Kennedys) * We Got the Beat (as made famous by The Go Go's) * (I Think I'm) Turning Japanese (as made famous by Vapors) * Seventeen (as made famous by Winger) * Because, it's Midnite (by Limozeen) * Hold On Loosely (as made famous by .38 Special) * No One Like You (as made famous by Scorpions) * Only a Lad (as made famous by Oingo Boingo) * Ballroom Blitz (as made famous by Krokus) * The Warrior (by Scandal) * What I Like About You (as made famous by The Romantics) * Wrath Child (as made famous by Iron Maiden) * I Wanna Rock (by Twisted Sister) * I Ran (by Flock of Seagulls) * Round and Round (as made famous by Ratt) * Metal Health (as made famous by Quiet Riot) * Holy Diver (as made famous by Dio) * Heat Of The Moment (as made famous by Asia) * Radar Love (as made famous by White Lion) * 18 and Life (as made famous by Skid Row) * Bathroom Wall (as made famous by Faster Pussycat) * Lonely is the Night (as made famous by Billy Squier) * Nothing But a Good Time (as made famous by Poison) * Play With Me (as made famous by Extreme) * Shaken (as made famous by Eddie Money) * Synchronicity II (as made famous by The Police) When it was announced I was pretty excited, but now it looks like poo. Sorry, but eighties rock was largely rubbish. Well the big hair shit was, but at least do some classic tracks! There's a handfful of tracks I like (Police Truck for one) but where's The Smiths and The Cure? I thought it was called Guitar Hero, not Rock Hero. Fucking Extreme?!

DANGERMAN Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 When the game was first announced this is the exact sort of stuff I was expecting, it just sums up 80's music for me. A shame because there was some good stuff, but I never heard it when I was growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Ive only heard of turing Japanese from that list. I would like some smiths, cure, joy division/new order, echo and the bunnymen, the jam/weller, that kind of music would be awesome. Maybe they told the publishers where they could go...

"No Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, Billy Idol, Big Country, Pink Floyd ... which 80s is this they talk about?" The Guitar Hero games seem to have a got a scheme now where they surprise you with their track choices and "intentionally don't go for the big hits". They could be telling the truth or it could be money-related, but either way this is no sale for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noize Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 At first when I heard about it, I was excited too. I'm a huge GH fan, got the 2 first games already and two guitars, and so I was planning on getting this one as well. But I think I'll wait till I can play with it first before buying it. I might end up not buying it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Maybe they're saving those bands for a better verion; GH3/4/5 etc. But yeah, Pink Floyd would have been perfect as the long song that always gets featured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have heard others and not recognised the names. I'm with Hendo on this, I'm a massive GH fan but this just stinks of trying to stay underground with a popular entertainment piece. They should know by now who their market is, and this isn't going to attract anyone but the most 80's metal of 80's metallers. The only saving grace I can see is Dead Kennedys, and it's not even one of their better tracks. They'd do better sticking to the random assortment of tracks that have seen their other games do so well. I was well chuffed when I saw Primus and Janes Addiction on GH2 (Especially as it was the actual songs too), but there's nothing on here that screams PLAY ME! Bad news.

Swallow Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Some good licks in that list, will likely wait a while to see if it's 360 bound though as I've not got a Gibson controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
