AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack (Xbox 360, 2008)

The best part of the pack is that it includes all the band's iconic songs: "Back in Black," "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," "Hells Bells," "You Shook Me All Night Long," "T.N.T.," "Highway to Hell" and "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)."
On the flip side, you're also getting saddled with a number of tracks you might not be all that interested in. Was anyone really clamoring for "The Jack" or "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be"? The live version of "High Voltage" is so dragged out that it's completely un-fun to play on any instrument.
The live versions are pretty clean, although the padding commonly associated with live performances occasionally hurts them as gameplay levels.
Songs start to sound alike at some point, with far more AC/DC here than most of us will ever want to play.

AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack was announced on September 29, 2008, and was released for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on November 2. The Wii version was released on November 16, 2008. The pack contains all 18 tracks from AC/DC's album Live at Donington. The game, through pre-existing licensing deals that AC/DC has with the retail chains,[6] is only available at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club.[7] This exclusivity agreement was only applicable in the United States, and ended on November 4, 2009 when GameStop began selling new copies of the game for $20.[8] Each copy of the track pack includes a code that can be redeemed online to allow Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners to download the content to their console for use in other Rock Band titles. The game can also be played as a standalone title, including a number of Achievements for Xbox 360 owners, but otherwise does not feature many of the gameplay elements of the full Rock Band titles, such as character creation or customization, online play, or a World Tour mode.[6] The track pack retails for $30 for the PS2 version and $40 for other consoles.[5][7] The Guitar Hero guitar for Wii is compatible with this game. Harmonix has confirmed that the songs will remain exclusive to the disc release, citing AC/DC's preference to sell their music as full albums instead of singles. They have not ruled out releasing the content in the future should the band's views change.[9]

BEWARE OF FAKE SELLERS ON EBAY SELLING DLC CODES! The code is FREE when you buy this game! DO NOT BUY CODES OFF EBAY SELLERS! This is a pretty good add on to your Rock Band 1 or 2 collection. The game is a stand alone, or downloadable content, and has some of ac/dc's best jams. If you are an ac/dc groupie, this is a must-have for your collection.

pros - good gaming! Tricky songs to play, downloadable content, not TOO easy.

Cons- No custom characters, all the tracks are live, so playing can be misleadng sometimes, but still a good challenge

All in all, its a fun game. I enjoyed playing it!

This is a great addition to the library of Rock Band songs. The disc itself isnt nothing special, its basically a stripped down version of Rock Band 1 with no character customization, no online, no world tour, like I said, stripped down. But what makes the game great like all the other track packs for Rock Band, is that it comes with a code allowing you to save all the songs to your hard-drive for play on Rock Band 2 and future titles. I got this code for a GREAT deal here on eBay, so anyone with Xbox Live or PSN that wants to rock the best of AC/DC, just find the code and forget about the disc!

Due to the expensiveness of AC/DC Live, I was going to give this a 4. $40 for only 18 tracks seems like such a rip-off, plus you get a watered down Rock Band game on a CD. Plus the songs are live, and sometimes those versions just aren't the best. But when I exported my music into Rock Band 2 and played the songs for the first time I realized why I bought this. If you like AC/DC AND HAVE ROCK BAND 2 BUY THIS!!!!! It is amazing! The songs are awesome, and singing your favorite song, or playing you favorite AC/DC drum or guitar solo is an earth-shattering experience. I just exported the songs and sold the disc locally for $10. I paid $35 for the game new, so even though it was pricy, these are the best songs!!! I love playing these songs. Granted, they sound a bit different from the actual records, but all they do is enhance the overall AC/DC feel. If you like AC/DC and HAVE ROCK BAND 2 pick this up. If you don't have Rock Band 2 this game is pretty featureless on disc. If you hate AC/DC and HAVE ROCK BAND 2, go pick this up. Yeah its that good. :)
