More information has been released regarding the track selection for Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, Activision's next quickie Guitar Hero installment.
By Eugene Huang
When we last left Guitar Hero, GamePro reported on Activision's plans to release a new installment of the series called Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s. This semi-sequel title would exclusively include tracks from 1980's, ranging from songs by Flock of Seagulls to Twisted Sister. Activision has since renamed the title to Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, but the game's mission remains the same: great music and very bad hair.
More Than Words? Hell, no.
Wait 'till Guitar Hero: Rocks the 90s
With their latest press release, the company has announced the licensing of seven new songs, which also range greatly across styles and genres. However, this new selection also shows a predilection towards the "hair bands", like Poison and Extreme, that made the era so infamous. Here's the new list:
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 Police)
As we mentioned before, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s will be available on PS2 this summer.
