This game will be essentially an 80's themed console expansion pack, promising to bring the guitar hero be a rock star experience to the 80's decade of music.

They have specifically said that it will cover main 80's genres such as 'punk, hair metal, and new wave', and it will include all new retro nevues, rockers, unlockable guitars and skins etc. The initial batch of tracks announced include "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls and "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister (original tracks), as well as "Mental Health" by Quiet Riot, "The Heat of the Moment" by Asia (cover tracks). They have anounced that they will include 30 liscenced tracks this time around, and some previews hint at one unlockable bonus song.

Publisher Red Octane has officially announced that the game will retail for $49.99 and will release on July 24th, 2007.
