EA, MTV Games and Harmonix today revealed a host of specifics about Rock Band 2, namely the game’s track list and the fact that it will be an Xbox 360 exclusive. During the month of September, anyway.
When Rock Band 2 ships in September, it will do so only for Xbox 360. MTV Games did not announce when Rock Band 2 would ship for PS3 or Wii, or whether either version even exists (although we’re positive they do).
Rock Band 2 will also include among its Master Recordings from AC/DC (“Let There Be Rock”) and Bob Dylan (“Tangled Up In Blue”), both of which are significant announcements for the game genre, while Guns ‘N Roses has committed to including the track “Shackler’s Revenge” from the band’s album Chinese Democracy, which ships this fall. In addition, all downloadable content from the original Rock Band will be compatible with Rock Band 2,
All told, Rock Band 2 will include more than 100 songs, 80 of which will be included on the game disc. The remaining 20 will be available as free downloads via Xbox Live Marketplace (and, presumably, the PlayStation Store, when the PS3 version of Rock Band ships). Here is the full on-disc track list:
