It's a lot of (very familiar) fun, but like an overpriced concert t-shirt, there's no escaping the feeling that it's not quite the value it looked when enthusiasm had free reign over your wallet.

Pelit (Finland)Has maybe the most entertaining song list yet in any Guitar Hero game, but unfortunately they are all too easy to play even on the hardest difficulty setting. The price tag for only a 30 song upgrade is a bit hefty, too. Still, it is fun for a sudden bout of 80s nostalgia. [Sept 2007]

In spite of all these shortcomings, this is still Guitar Hero and the formula still works - this remains one of the best games ever for anyone who has ever thought even for one second that it would be cool to be a rock star (i.e.: everyone). Just be sure to check out the song list if you weren't around to hear this stuff the first time.

Playstation Official Magazine UKThe unavoidable truth is that this tracklist simply isn't as strong as those in the previous games. [Oct 2007, p.106]

There are certainly some bona fide '80s showstoppers on this expansion, but all told, this is Guitar Hero II with a coat of neon paint and half as much content.
-
With Harmonix moving on to the extremely ambitious Rock Band and Neversoft taking over the Guitar Hero reigns, it’s sad to see the series’ creators bow out of their own creation with such a purposefully half-arsed effort.
-
Here's a dumb idea: rushing an expansion by regurgitating nearly all of the original game and delivering minimal compelling content. Here's a dumber one: charing $10 more than normal so unsuspecting consumers will pad your fiscal third quarter.

NickW.Jul 25, 2007Despite only having 30 songs, this is still a pretty darn good game. All the songs are fun to play, some more so than others.

Aug 29, 2021The gameplay is the same as GH2, only the character skins are different, in fact many things are reduced, but I like the song

Aug 29, 2020The playlist was weak and the game felt like guitar hero on auto pilot.
Didn't live up to the first two games -
