does Guitar Hero rock the 80s?

I picked up Guitar Hero 80's Edition yesterday. Some thoughts:

The game is just the Guitar Hero 2 engine with some new songs and new outfits. There's one programmer listed in the credits, and the rest are art and music people.

There are a lot more 3-note chords in these songs. Also, I noticed a green-orange chord or two.

I've seen some framerate slowdown in Hard and Expert modes. WTF? Throttle the background graphics if you need to, but *don't* mess with the framerate!

Overall, the song selection is kind of meh - I've had more fun rocking out to songs in Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero 2. However, this song has been stuck in my head for the past two days.

So, I'd have to say that it's the weakest of the Guitar Hero series, but worth the $40 I paid for it. Bring on Rock Band!
