With the release of Rock Band 2 this weekend (and for some folks last Tuesday) it’s time to re-enter Music Game Fever as EA and Activision prepare to compete for your hard-earned dollars this holiday season with Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour.
Boasting a full band for the first time in the franchise, the latest Guitar Hero will try to take a bite out of Rock Band’s domination of the band genre for music games. (Is it a genre with two games in it?)
While we already know about the new features, song creation, new instruments, and all the other fun gameplay elements, what we don’t know is if the songlist can compete with Rock Band 2. Until now.
Today, the full list of 86 tracks for Guitar Hero: World Tour has been released. Featuring a smattering of genres and decades, people will be sure to find plenty of songs they enjoy in the list. Unfortunately, there will likely also be plenty you groan about. I’ve got about 40 of the songs I look forward to-how do you all stack up?
