Activision have confirmed this morning that Guitar Hero Rocks The 80s is heading exclusively to the PS2. There'll be 30 songs, new venues to trash and characters to be. Seven tracks have been confirmed so far:
I Wanna Rock - Twisted Sister
I Ran - Seagulls
Round and Round - Ratt
I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow
Metal Health - Quiet Riot
Holy Diver - Dio
Heat Of The Moment - Asia
More information, including a quote from the fantastically named Dusty Welch, can be found at IGN. Boo, hiss etc.
Random thoughts on this: It would be awesome to have 'Welcome To The Jungle' by Guns N' Roses in this one and I'm really looking forward to having more songs to play. I also have no problem with having a new Guitar Hero to play every six months or so!
I am sold on this. Most of the music I listen to is from the 80's. Hopefully they put in the one song I have been wanting since the first Guitar Hero, Paradise City by Guns N' Roses. I cannot wait for this, thanks for posting.
Awesome news! I am glad i haven't gotten rid of my PS2 of my PS2 guitar and things. I would of prefered it to come out on the 360 aswell though because my PS2 controllor isn't working like i wished it would (the whammy bar is bust). Still, i love having more songs to play on Guitar Hero so it stops the boredom kicking in :wink:
Yes!!! I was hoping they would put out new songs like this. All the songs from GH and GH2 had ran their course with me. This just the thing to get me back into Guitar Hero.
I can't find the article at IGN. Maybe they took it down?
 Anyway, what a boneheaded move on Activision's part not making this available for the 360. After charging $90 for the 360 version, and then the ridiculous prices for the downloadable content, now they're not going to make new songs available to 360 owners? That's ridiculous if true. I'm sure these songs are going to make their way to Marketplace eventually - they're not going to turn down the opportunity to screw over 360 owners even more.
Now if they could only throw in some Slayer, Metallica and ACDC.. Still though since im a ps2 GH2 ownin axe slinger this is sooo a confirmed purchase. Twisted Sister- YES.

Yeah I find it hard to imagine that these songs won't make their way onto the 360 in some form or other especially given how well the game sold out on that system. I still can't find it anywhere.
