Rock Band setlist revealed
Harmonix rhythm game to feature 58 tracks, 51 of which will be original master recordings.
Activision's Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock struck the first blow in this holiday season's battle of the bands with its arrival in stores yesterday, but Rock Band creators Harmonix and MTV Games are ready to hit back. Rock Band demo kiosks began appearing in Best Buy stores over the weekend, and this morning the game's main setlist was finally announced.
When it's released in North America on November 20, Rock Band for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will feature 58 songs, 51 of which will be original master recordings. However, the games that come in the box are only part of the Rock Band plan. MTV and Harmonix are planning to release a steady stream of downloadable songs and albums for the game, including The Who's Who's Next and a selection of tracks from The Grateful Dead's body of work.
A PlayStation 2 edition of Rock Band will be released on December 18 in North America. The game is also scheduled for a European release in the first quarter of 2008. The main setlist of 45 songs is listed below. An additional 13 tracks from a variety of established and independent artists will also be unlocked as players progress in the game. MTV and Harmonix did not specify if the PS2 version's setlist would be identical to its current-generation counterparts.
