Should have cost 20 bucks
30 songs, only half are fun. No songs for puchase in the store. Same characters with lame 80's make overs. Same level with some different coloring... oooooh. no stone henge
A buy for hardcore fans, just don't expect $50 worth of game
best songs

I have it coming from best buy online. They had a two day sale for 39.99 free shipping plus tax, and they send you a 15.00 gift card. So 28.00 is fair for the game I am guessing, havent played yet...

Hahahaha ... nah, but I wouldn't mind having my rockabilly sharkskin suit back, or the hideous "Adam Ant" style jacket I picked up on Melrose in '83. Jeez, I can smell the hair gel, just thinking about those days.

well don't expect dio vocals. The song is fun to play, but the "as made famous by" cover is horrendous.

I got my girlfriend really into GHII (she plays it more than me, and is better than me at it). Now that she knows about Encore, she wants to get the game and some PS2 guitars. It sucks that it didn't come out for 360. I just can't wait for GHIII.

My SDCC roommates caught the GH2 bug right before the trip so we Rocked the 80's in our hotel.

There's some surprisingly challenging ones in there. "What I Like About You" and "Synchronicity 2" have some fun fret work. Playing the echo-ey riffs of "I Ran" is very gratifying too.

I gotta agree with Deadboy that it doesn't seem like a full package though. Once you beat the game on Medium or harder there's not much to do besides go for better scores.
