"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."
--Alex Navarro, GameSpot
"All you¡¯ll get in this package are some new songs and a sort-of-new look, but you¡¯ll have to pay full price for it."
--Sam Sollars, Game Almighty
"Considering the bands chosen and the decade the set list covers, it's actually quite fitting to use the term "Cashing In" when speaking of this title."
--Matt Schaldach, Deeko
"The worst thing about the game really has to be what Activision expects you to pay for it, as the game clearly brings less than what Guitar Hero II gave you for exact same price."
--Chris Selogy, Gamer 2.0
"I know I won't be happy until Dragonforce makes it into a GH game and/or you are able to use mp3s as custom tracks, but platform choice and song selection aside, if you love GH, you'll love this game."
--Jason Nimer, Cheat Code Central
"Even though Rocks the 80s can stand-alone, it isn¡¯t very likely that it will. And only if you were four different kinds of personalities during the 80s will you like everything on the track list."
--JP Hurh, Game Revolution
"Unfortunately with Rocks the 80s, the quality has slipped a little further with some of the covers in the game just being plain bad."
--Mitchell Saltzman, Console Game World
"As it stands, Rocks the 80's is not worth retail price, and I'm unhappy to see the turns that are happening with the franchise."
--Travis Dwyer, Gaming Age
