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

I bought this while it was on sale for $13 or so... at that price this is a fantastic value for adding some AC/DC tracks to your Rock Band game.

The game itself has some achievements associated with it, which gives you a reason to play the actual disc. There isn't any AC/DC specific gameplay on the disc though.

Exporting content to your hard drive is FREE, unlike Lego Rock Band or the upcoming Green Day Rock Band.

This is essentially the "Live at Donington" DVD in Rock Band form. Why it was released as a disc and not a download is a mystery, as it is essentially just a long track pack. If they were going to charge $30 for it when it came out, the least they could have done was have the concert footage playing in the background; instead, we're stuck with a generic Rock Band cast of characters, although I will admit the guitarist does look kind of cool (you see the same four characters for all the songs).

The songs themselves are unlocked one at a time, and represent a nice cross-section of AC/DC's catalog. As far as difficulty, I found them to be about on par with the later levels of Rock Bands 1 & 2.

Expect to get about 2 hours of playtime for each instrument. Now that the price has been lowered a bit, it's a decent pickup for the AC/DC fan.

I put the track pack in and play all 18 ac/dc songs in a row! Great endurance songs on the drums! So fun! I'm a babbling idiot, trying to think of something better to say besides OOOH this is much better than a lot of that weird thrashy stuff that fills rock band. I know every song on this trackpack by heart via my headbanging teenage years, but the music is basically ROCK not metal or thrash or punk. Just so awesome. Worth every cent and more. Thanks, ACDC, for releasing this great addition to an already awesome game!

Fairwarning: ac/dc has rare technical drum moments but is basically an endurance test + fun. The guitar is a blast to play, more veried and technical than the drums -- but I don't like technical, tho, so I tend to love the simplicity of ac/dc on drums. If you love complexity, mathmatically and musically-speaking on drums (off-beats and 8th notes etc) this track-pack isn't going to be your cup of tea at all. However, the songs are really LONG and you get a great work out and have an awesome, but non-technical time just beating away to simple beats. I played all 18 songs the first night on Hard and beat the trackpack. Easy and medium are really slow if you play rockband drums often. Expert offered more challanging moments. But if you're what I deem a 'problem-solver' or if you have a great ear, like my piano-playing-genius-with music-great-at-patterns daughter, you'll probably find this trackpack unvaried and boring - if on the other hand you're not a problem-solver, hate patterns, and are just a wild drum beater and like to have fun without thinking too hard (like I do) you'll love it.
