AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack
To paraphrase AC/DC: Let there be sound. There was sound. Let there be guitar. There was guitar. Let there be drums. There were drums. Let there be a $40 AC/DC track pack sold exclusively at Wal-Mart. There was a great disc that every AC/DC fan should buy. Let there be rock! Find out what Cyril thinks of Rock Band's newest track pack when he reviews AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack for the Xbox 360!
With the overwhelming success of the Rock Band online music store, I was taken aback when I heard Harmonix announce that AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack would be published as a
physical disc. I was even more shocked when I heard that this brand new Rock Band track pack would be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart. The final straw came when they announced
that the disc would only feature 18 songs and retail for a whopping $40. By my math that's around $2.22 per song, which is a bit more than what you would pay if they were
offered online as downloadable content.
Given all of these problems I fully intended to be disappointed by AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack. After all, I wasn't the biggest supporter of Activision's recent
Aerosmith-centric Guitar Hero game, so I worried that this would be more of the same. Fortunately I was wrong. Yes, this is a Rock Band disc made specifically for AC/DC fans;
however I found that songs were fun enough for even those with only a passing interest in Australia's top selling heavy metal outfit. Sure the price is a bit steep and it would
probably be better suited as downloadable content, but make no mistake about it, AC/DC Live is a spectacular disc that every heavy metal lover should run out and buy.
If you go in expecting AC/DC Live to be a brand new experience, then you are going to be extremely disappointed. This game is exactly what the box says, a track pack. All this
disc does is offer you 17 songs not found in either Rock Band or its sequel. Fans of the band already know that this track pack features all of the songs featured in the AC/DC
Live at Donington DVD. This concert included some of the band's biggest hits, which is perfect for those looking for a greatest hits album from Angus, Malcolm, Cliff and the
rest of the top selling band.
Don't believe me? Try this track list on for size: Thunderstruck, Shoot To Thrill, Back In Black, Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be, Heatseeker, Fire Your Guns, Jailbreak, The Jack,
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Moneytalks, Hells Bells, High Voltage, Whole Lotta Rosie, You Shook Me All Night Long, T.N.T., Let There Be Rock, Highway To Hell and For Those
About To Rock (We Salute You). In total there's more than 99 minutes of music here, all of which can be played with the guitar, bass, drums or microphone.
The good news is that you don't need to own Rock Band 2 to enjoy AC/DC Live. Heck, you don't even need the original Rock Band. This track pack is a standalone product, which
means that all you need is a compatible guitar, drums and microphone. Even better is that when it comes to the Xbox 360 version, both the Rock Band and the Guitar Hero
equipment works flawlessly. It is conceivable for AC/DC fans to pick this up without ever worrying about buying any other music game. Then again, you're definitely going to
get more out of this game if you already own either Rock Band 1 or 2.
