Seven Tracks for 80s Guitar Hero Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the rock-hard-with-bigger-hair dept.

Ars Technica's Opposable Thumbs blog has a partial track list for Guitar Hero: Rocks the 80s , an upcoming expansion for the hit music game. Poster Ben Kuchera wonders aloud about the report that it will be 'exclusively for the PlayStation 2'; given the recent release of Guitar Hero on the 360 it makes little sense that we won't see the new tracks as downloadable content. The tracks announced so far: "I Wanna Rock (by Twisted Sister), I Ran (by Flock of Seagulls), Round and Round (as made famous by Ratt), I Want Candy (as made famous by Bow Wow Wow), Metal Health (as made famous by Quiet Riot), Holy Diver (as made famous by Dio), Heat Of The Moment (as made famous by Asia)"

      That game has a long, long way to go to be playable. Actually, the game is easily playable - but only after applying RF Mod, a mod fixing many memory leaks and adding features.
      Surprisingly for an open source game, these mods haven't been incorporated into the main project yet...

      Latest version of RF Mod (I think...)

      If you're going to use it, read the readme -- it requires a specific version of the main game to work atm...
