Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock
By James E. Ranshaw - reviews
A good alternative to having Downloadable Content (DLC) on the Wii. This track pack gives you the opportunity to own 20 of the songs that the other consoles can purchase individually. This game does NOT require you to own any other version of Rock Band, it is a stand-alone. So in that aspect it could be viewed as a large demo.
The song listing in my opinion is just OK, but that is all about your own personal taste. The songs are all master recordings. Stone Roses - "Love Spreads" is my favorite song by far and I had never heard that song before this game. If you are an "expert" plastic guitar player, this track pack will not bring too much challenge. For the easy-hard players, this is a good opportunity to have some fun rocking out and even move up a notch in difficulty. $30 for 20 songs isn't too bad of a price considering you could spend $40 if you had to download them all separately, and this track pack doesn't require you to own the full game.
Bottom Line: If you like the songs on this list, it's a must buy. (Plastic music peripheral sold separately.)
