Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 30 seconds to Mars and beyond!!!!!
Not that Rock Band isnt fabulous all by itself but this track pack is like buying Rock Band for the first time all over again.
I love 30 seconds to Mars and All American Rejects too. The tracks are great fun for the entire family. How do I know????

Cause I am the mom who bought this whole thing for my children and now fight with them over who gets to play the drums on Dont Fear the Reaper!!!! This thing is family fun every night. (Except school nights) LOL

I am waiting for the day they have particular artists track packs!! Maybe a Linkin Park pack, or a Bon Jovi pack, or maybe a ... Pat Benatar pack...ok I am older than most people who probably buy this...but seriously - how cool would that be????


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - allright
The price was a little high but all right i was hopeing for more song then what there was. I was happy that i was able to drum Synchronicity II in all not a bad buy just wait for the price to drop down.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Big MEH!
This release was completely underwhelming. The kids played with it a couple of times then ignored it as it really didn't present anything new for them. It went over slightly less enthusiastically than the Guitar Hero Aerosmith release.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good game
Overall this is a great game, but 20 songs? it's just not enough for me. The songs that are on are really good except for "March of the pigs"


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - WTF did they do to the drums?
First things first: The song selection is pretty good, and the vocal, guitar, and bass aspects of the songs are great, pretty much identical in function and execution to the original game. The drums however? Fuhgettaboudit.

My first gripe: you don't have to earn overdrive. They give the fills to you automagically. This kinda defeats the whole purpose; overdrive is there to help you with the hard parts after you did well in the easier parts. I guess this is a strange gripe, but really annoys me.

My second--and much more significant problem--with the modified drum play is whatever they did to the bass drum (the pedal). I can't tell if they changed the timing, or if it registers a beat differently, but either way playing the drums in RB:TP1 is an absolutely unfun chore. Songs that should be easy, fun, and a blast to play on medium ("Buddy Holly" and "All The Small Things") lose all their potential for enjoyment as soon as you hit the pedal for the first time: you'll spend the rest of the song concentrating on not messing up the beat rather then rocking out with your friends.

I'm not sure what possessed Harmonix to make these changes; I'm going to have to try RB2 before I buy it, in case these changes make it into the sequel (boy, I hope they don't). That said, if you are the singer, guitarist, or bassist for your "rock band" I can't recommend this Track Pack enough; the songs are a blast to play, and there's something in there for everyone.

However I pity my fellow drummers.
