Good... if you can get it at a discount

Rock Band is an amazing game, made more so by the wonderful assortment of downloadable songs available for the XBox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game. AC/DC is, simply put, legendary. So combining the two would seem to be a perfect match, right? Well... sorta.

See, the AC/DC track pack is a stripped down version of Rock Band 1 featuring live versions of some of AC/DC's signature songs. The audio quality is great, especially considering that it is a live version. My one gripe with the tracks themselves is that when I just want to play any given song, I find that I have to battle through an intro and an outtro on the guitar that are either really hard to nail or completely boring for the rest of the band. However, this is a small complaint.

My main complaint is with the rest of the game... in that there isn't a "rest of the game." It's just those 18 songs. No bonus content or anything along those lines. This game is simply glorified downloadable content. There is actually a code in the manual that let's you download these 18 songs to the real game, bypassing the need for a disk itself.

This game is ultimately weighted down by a completely unnecessary walmart exclusivity and a full game engine. There aren't even trophies to justify getting anything but the download code.

I would recommend getting this game, but for no more than 30 dollars, which is about what the DLC would be worth if it were on the Playstation Network. I got it for $10 less than that, so go around ebay, and MAKE SURE that you get a copy with an unused download code. Unless you don't care about swapping disks or don't own Rock Band 1 or 2.

My Review

The game is exactly like I heard it was. There is no problems with it at all. It is easy to learn and not hard like some of them is. The music is the same as AC/DC would play if they were live. I would love to see them do a game with unlive songs as well and add more songs to the list.

Fun, but could be much better

What I like: AC/DC songs, it´s the most fun you can get playing Rock band ever.
What I don´t like: I hoped to play Angus on the screen, like other games like Metallica, Beatles and etc. That would be FUN. Or - that would be absolutely great - if you could choose between Angus or Malcolm tracks. But at all the most drawback is that they used (obviously) the AC/DC Live album tracks. So those songs were speeded, rushed (so glad they've got Phil Rudd back on the drums, the man IS the AC/DC groove), and all vocal by Brian Johnson - master tracks by Bon Scott would be killer.

Warning for ebay buyers

Can't trash the songs here, but if you're buying this used on ebay, do NOT expect the authorization code to work so that you can play on rockband1 or 2. Its a one time code, so its not going to work unless the previous owner decided not to use it (and why would anyone not use it?) You will only be able to play these tracks off the disc and by themself. Want the full version?...gotta go shell out 40 bucks at walmart.

AC/DC Rockband Track Pack FINALLY.......

My only dislike about the Rockband games were that they lacked more songs from this amazing band. That was totally fixed with this add on pack. seamless integrations via a code entry I am able to play all these songs in my Rockband 2 game. This track pack is everything you would expect it to be. Some great live version of one of the most distinctive bands in Rock history. With a sound completely their own every song from this track pack is infectious and gets stuck in your head! For anyone else like myself that grew up going to middle and high school between the 80's and 90's these songs bring back some great memories!
I hope they release even more songs from this band!
