What do these ratings mean?

Can you say Guitar Hero 2?

Songs:
Yes, there are all new songs in Guitar Hero Encore... but there are about half as many.  The game contains 30 known songs with ZERO bonus tracks, leaving the game short and very disappointing.  As for those 30 songs, only about 10 or so are worth playing, meaning you are about playing two-thirds of the game as fast as you can just to get to songs that are worthwhile.

Characters:
Same people... new clothes.

Venues:
Same venues.... new colors?

Tour Map?:
Same map... same cities (venues)... same sound effects for traveling...

Overall:
A simple get quick scheme...

    I don`t know why you bother about saying "Theres only 30 songs!" everyone already knew that before buying the game. Whats the point of saying, "Very short and disappointing, only 30 songs". Disappointing? How can it be when you already knew there was 30 songs and no bonus songs, I knew that. If you would have been smart, you would have looked at the song list before and not be disappointed. Theres more then 10 songs for me, theres 2 or 3 I`d rather just not play because they are just too boring. Other then that, most songs on it are fine, except if your playing with a friend and someone gets the bass, now someone will be bored like hell, unless you play a hard bass song, even though theres none really. Anyways I`m not trying to bash you or anything, just saying my opinion, thats why you let us comment right? :)
