RockGamer spent the weekend playing music games. With the number of releases that have recently come out, we’ve spent a lot of time covering the game news but not actually getting to enjoy the product. Well that changed, thankfully, but now back to more coverage as we review the AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack. If you’re an AC/DC fan, you’re probably going to want to pick this one up.
Most people were a little confused when the AC/DC announcement came, making the incorrect (or correct?) assumption that this was just additional DLC for Rock Band 2. When specified that the entire track pack was a standalone game, and could be purchased only at Walmart (in the form of a disc - not downloadable), gamers fumed that Harmonix was converting to Activision’s model of making full album DLC the norm, rather than allowing the flexibility of picking and choosing individual songs. However, gamers soon learned that if they purchased the Rock Band branded AC/DC game, they would also receive a code which would make all songs downloadable and therefore playable within Rock Band. All of this is true. So, the question becomes then, why have a standalone game at all?
Regardless of the why, here’s what we found.

RockGamer had previously reported that we would have an Election Week special from Rock Band in the form of downloadable content from the Presidents of the United States.

For only 99¢ (80 XBox pts) you can also download new tracks from Hinder and Fall Out Boy.

So have you worn out your copy of Guitar Hero World Tour yet? Whether you have or not, Activision has just announced 2 brand new 3-packs of downloadable tracks set to hit this November. It sure seems like Activision is really trying to keep up on their weekly offerings. For the full slate of songs, click below!
While Metallica’s newest album Death Magnetic has been available for download since September 11 for both Guitar Hero III and Guitar Hero World Tour, many folks waited for the World Tour release before making their purchase. Now that they have, we’re hearing complaints that the file size for the downloadable content is huge and hogging up space on their hard drives.
With hard drive size being limited, and so many songs set to come out in the near future (Rock Band alone claims they will have 500 songs available by yearend), this could cause some gamers to question the purchase. One rockgamer wrote “Is it just me or is anyone else bothered by this. For the album it is 1.34 GB, freaking insane. I was thinking of downloading it but now I don’t know. ”

Have you picked up your pre-launch copy of Guitar Hero World Tour yet?? If not, don’t feel bad - even though WE have, most of you are still patiently waiting until Sunday when the rest of the retail world admits they have it in stock. In the meantime, you can start shelling out shillings on the new Guitar Hero World Tour downloadable content available today on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Another piece of great news: the pricing is identical to competitor Rock Band and so is the flexibility to buy less than the full pack of songs. Pick and choose as you wish!
