Got it today for $40 on the insistence of certain siblings, using a gift card so only $20 out of my pocket.
It's just new songs and a lot of palette swapped menus. Now, my family is sorta stuck around in Hard Mode on GH2. So oy sister and I did the first track on Co-Op, 5-starred it on Medium and unlocked 3 new bass guitars off the bat. On Career mode, we were both getting 100% on certain songs and didn't get below 5 stars on any track. I'm inclined to say the difficulty isn't there at all in Medium where even on certain tracks on GH2 you could get caught up on Medium mode.
I'll dive into Hard mode tomorrow and see how that goes. Also, they could have at least changed the loading screen.
So I've had this about a week and I have to say I'm happy with it. It's certainly not worth the $40 I spent but there are at least ten songs that are a blast to play, and almost every song gives you a chance to shred your ass off on Expert.
I've already lost count of the number of times I've played Seventeen and Caught in a Mosh. So fun. And I still haven't beaten Play With Me, although I haven't really sat down and practiced any of the solo.
If you're looking for a challenge with the longevity of GH2, this isn't it, especially if you're already good at GH in general. On Expert I five-starred about 18 of the 30 songs the first time I played them, and none of the others took more than three tries total to five-star (aside from Play With Me and Because, It's Midnight, which has a completely ass-raping synthesizer solo that has no place in GUITAR Hero).
But if you can get this for $25 it's definitely worth the price.
Whoever said this game was too easy can choke on a cock. Electric Eye can also choke. Grrr.
yea i dont get the complaints on the difficulty level that ive seen around.
i made it to play with me just now and that song is... something.
Well after playing GH and GH2 quite a bit, I was able to 5-star the first 25 songs in 80's in a row on the first try. For me, then, it's too easy. They just need another difficulty setting after expert I think, hehe.

i 5 starred every song until the last tier first try as well (except for because its midnight, that solo came outta nowhere). still, i would say its of a comparable difficulty level with GH2. its just a matter of having played GH1 and 2 to fucking death at this point.
I'm really enjoying it so far, and I'm actually trying to get through it on Expert, which I didn't manage to do in the last two games.
However, What I Like About You is really pissing me off. I would like to meet the person who made the note chart for that song and punch them in the face.
so i went back to see how i did on 'because its midnight' cuz i only played it once and didnt remember it being that hard. i saw i 5-starred it, so i figured id play through it and see if i was missing something. and holy fuck did that solo rape me.
i think maybe a ghost 5-starred it for me.

Yeah Ive been waiting for some new songs to play for awhile. Says that it ships in 3-5 business days because I'm in Canada, but 24 hours if youre from the states.
they dont specify the carrier though?
if it's UPS (which I suspect it is) prepare a hefty fee on top of the cost of the game and shipping
EBGames always ships to Canada via UPS. The broker fee's by UPS are insane. My first and last time ordering a game I got hit for 20% of the item price.
I tried to order some nascar stuff for my dad for Christmas last year, doing it in September thinking I was super smart for not waiting till the last week like usual until UPS told me they want more then 50% of the worth of the contents of the box in broker fee's.
$190.95 w/ shipping, $104.94 in UPS Broker Fee's. I still have the e-mails saved so I can re-read them and seeth with anger.

I picked this up yesterday and I'm pretty dissapointed. I breezed through the first 25 songs on hard, four and five starring them on my first attempt and I am completely out of practice. Also most of the songs just aren't all that great to play., I think there have been three songs I have enjoyed playing and most of the songs I was looking forward to are boring as ass.

There's one more difficulty level above Hard ya know.
Hmm I didn't even think to check what the score was. I finally passed it, with three stars. Then I played it once just now and got four. I wonder how close I am?
So I'm hovering around 150,000 but that's with a bunch of random fuckups in the easy sections. I just played for maybe an hour and a half today before I even tried it once so I think that tomorrow or the next day I'll be able to nail it when my hands aren't worn out.
The irony is that, while I was the one that gave the CAG-provided link to the Best Buy online deal, I still have yet to actually get my copy of Rocks the '80s. It was accidentally sent to my parents' house and I'm only going down there to pick it up this weekend! Every time this thread resurfaces, it's a sad reminder of my negligence.
Was there some special condition on that Best Buy online deal that I'm supposed to satisfy in order to get the $15 gift card? That was the main reason I ordered it at launch, but I still haven't gotten the gift card.

You were supposed to add the gift card to your order.
It would automatically make it $free.

:? Well that's counter-intuitive. I wonder how many people got suckered like I did.
Because, It's Midnight can stick a guitar up its ass. Its like "Wow, this game is fun, but a little easy so far", then WHAM, it's Jordan all over for 20 horrifying seconds.
Got it today. Failed one of the second or third tier songs because I got caught by surprise. Then failed Electric Eye (I think that's it) twice. Play with me? Failed at 93% o:
Could use a bump in overall difficult, but alright.
Still not really worth the price tag, but ahh hell, I enjoy it.
I've figured it out: the true difficulty is not mastering the note patterns, but lies in not throwing up the horns while playing. Seriously, its like second nature when I hear "Look out!" On Holy Diver to just throw my hand in the air.
Play with Me took about seven tries, but its finally done!

John Tam stated that he had "Plans" for Final Countdown during an interview with EGM.
Obviously, that meant it'd be in GH2. Though, with the '80's pack coming, it should've been in there.
We needs it.
Final Countdown confirmed for Rock Band!
...
This would appease me.
Because its Guitar Hero, not Keyboard Hero.
Where Madness and the Fantasical Come to Play
There's one more difficulty level above Hard ya know.
I really am glad I own this. I can play Seventeen and Caught In A Mosh over and over and over... so fun!
Captain K, next time I'm at your house, we need to play co-op.
Going to try again shortly.
I can 100% on expert, I know it, but I always mess up once on those chords.
Oh are you fucking with me my high score is 193k after an hour of practice.
arglebarglerraaaaaaahhhh

I'd be madder if I didn't really enjoy the game.

haHA!
Finally 5-starred Play With Me tonight; I finished up with a score of 209k. That's the only one I had to play more than 2-3 times to get a 5-star on.
Now, the only song I have yet to five-star (on the PS2 versions, at least) is Six.
Damn song...
I picked songs randomly, since I don't know any of them.
I 5*d all of the randomly chosen ones that I picked on the first try. Except one called "Play With Me." I failed that one
