Customer Reviews

Deceptively Named
We have Rock Band 2 for the Wii and bought this 'Track Pack' thinking that it would be able to add to the songs available in Rock Band 2. That is certainly what the package suggests. Though it does say that Rock Band 2 is not required to use it, what it does not tell you is that IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ROCK BAND or ROCK BAND 2. It is a separate, stand-alone game.

So, if you play the songs here, you do not use your band from Rock Band 2. None of the songs can be added to Rock Band 2. If you want to use any of the songs on this disk with Rock Band 2, you must repurchase them online.

Very disappointing.

Of course the game itself is probably fine, if you don't have RB or RB2. But why would I not want these tunes in with the more full-featured RB2?

Excellent alternative to DLC.
A good alternative to having Downloadable Content (DLC) on the Wii. This track pack gives you the opportunity to own 20 of the songs that the other consoles can purchase individually. This game does NOT require you to own any other version of Rock Band, it is a stand-alone. So in that aspect it could be viewed as a large demo.

The song listing in my opinion is just OK, but that is all about your own personal taste. The songs are all master recordings. Stone Roses - "Love Spreads" is my favorite song by far and I had never heard that song before this game. If you are an "expert" plastic guitar player, this track pack will not bring too much challenge. For the easy-hard players, this is a good opportunity to have some fun rocking out and even move up a notch in difficulty. $30 for 20 songs isn't too bad of a price considering you could spend $40 if you had to download them all separately, and this track pack doesn't require you to own the full game.

Bottom Line: If you like the songs on this list, it's a must buy. (Plastic music peripheral sold separately.)

fun
This is a fun addition to Rock Band...just wish it had a few more songs.
