You guys ever played Donkey Konga 2 US? Elite Beat Agents has the best soundtrack in the history of gaming compared to that.

Damn you Wes, you stole my post!
But yeah, I think the general idea of not putting anything that is recently popular is a good rule of thumb. If it's a song that's been around for a few years and people still like it, that's tried and true. If it's the current radio hit, you run a much bigger risk of it becoming un-trendy (and laughable).
I'm also sick of these bad covers. Guitar Hero 2 was noticeably worse due to the shitty covers of the songs, after the original was surprisingly good. Some of the vocal Donkey Konga tracks were mediocre too. If you can't make the covers good or use instrumental songs, you're better off writing original music. Think Parappa or the absolutely fan-fucking-tastic Um Jammer Lammy (not the unfortunate PS2 Parappa 2), or even Bust-a-Groove.
Does anyone else wince in pain for their DS touch screen from Ouendan/EBA? |
