Mariachi Hero!

Nearly unlocked everything in Rocks the 80s, not that it's much of a challenge (okay, a few of the songs are annoying, but they're not exactly difficult) and it's not like I've been playing it non-stop. No, I was inspired to re-install and Diablo II this morning, and for all that it's aged graphically (and the past seven or eight years haven't been kind) the core gameplay is still more addictive than crack! Awesome.
So, I've been thinking about other types of Guitar Hero. I mean it's all very well concentrating on rock guitar, but we all know that it's not the be all and end all of guitar music. I for one would like to see something more soulful and funky (the guitar part in the Isley Bros' Who's That Lady? would be fucking AWESOME to play!) and let's chuck in some p-funk while we're at it ('cos let's face it, Bootsy Collins is a guitar god). Then what about acoustic? I think mariachi style would be astonishingly brilliant, and maybe even do a country version? My point is that it's time for Guitar Hero to break the mould and go in unexpected directions! I don't think World Tour is gonna do that of course, it looks content to ape Harmonix Rock Band which seems oddly pointless, but there you go, I guess nobody ever lost money playing it safe. Did they?
