Customer Reviews

Awesome addition to rock band.
This is a great track pack for rock band. The songs are really awesome, and its cheaper then downloading all the tracks.

More Fun
A game like Rock Band is all about the music. More tracks equal more fun. Of course you want the right songs and for me this pack had them. Normally I would just download different songs I like but I tend to like most songs on this pack so it was worth it to just get the whole pack.

So take a look at the track list and if you like a majority of the songs then grab it. If not then just download the ones you want and save yourself some cash.

Decent demo, strange integration with full version
Treated as a standalone product, this game demonstrates almost all of the important features of Rock Band. If you already own a compatible Guitar Hero guitar or something of the sort, it makes a lot of sense to buy this game before you buy Rock Band or Rock Band 2 from a cost perspective. Easy enough to walk away and resell it with the download coupon in-tact if you decide you don't care for it, too.

On the coupon: Is there any rational reason at all that the developers have to force Rock Band owners to redownload every song on the disk, at an additional cost of the time it takes to grab several hundred megabytes of content that the owner already has on hand? Not a big problem with a fat pipe, but on my 256k line it had to run overnight to complete. Seemed unnecessary and a bit tacky to me.
