First Guitar Hero World Tour songs Live News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

23 October, 2008

Activision has added the first downloadable content for Guitar Hero World Tour to Xbox Live.

Surprised? We obviously were. Bertie was so surprised that he originally wrote this news item telling you the content was for Rock Band instead. Which is similar to the mistake we're going to make at the office later when we attempt to nail stuff to the wall next to his head.

Anyway, there's a Classic Rock Track Pack featuring "Rock and Roll Band" by Boston, "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield, and "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner. This costs 440 Microsoft Points (GBP 3.74 / EUR 5.28). Individually, the tracks are 160 MSP (GBP 1.36 / EUR 1.92). These aren't available on PlayStation Network yet according to Sony. And our eyes.

There are also two free track packs as well: a Neversoft Track Pack featuring "Anything" by An Endless Sporadic and "Electrorock" by Sworn; and a Guitar Duel Track Pack giving you access to the Zak Wylde and Ted Nugent duel tracks from the main game for use as proper songs. Otherwise, you'd be limited to playing them in the tug-of-war boss levels.

Guitar Hero World Tour has yet to be given a release date, but our money is on 7th November. You can expect to read our review on Monday morning in the early hours. Oh, and it's Bertie's birthday today, so nobody tell him about his cock-up because he'll be mortified. And anyway, I want to do it.

Eh? Rock and Roll Band has been there since the Boston pack in March. Methinks you've only gone and confused Rock Band with Guitar Hero.

Tut tut, children.

What's the deal with Rock Band tracks recently. You would have thought with the PAL release we would have seen some more European centric tracks. Maybe i'm missing something but the last decent DLC for me was the Oasis pack. There was one Muse track but how about some more Blur, Supergrass or The Gossip?!?

The Gossip are my favourite European band.

Washington is the one in Switzerland, right?

Boston!? Dammit, I'm buying Rock Band!

Between this and The Ramones on Lips, it's going to be a very noisy Christmas for my neighbours!

Ummm... reading the comments... are we sure we're not talking about Guitar Hero?

Oh flips. I'm confussed.

The tracks did NOT come to Rock Band, but to Guitar Hero: World Tour instead. Rock Band tracks come on Tuesdays anyway to Xbox 360.

Oh man. I hate to say this, but it really is pretty epic fail, Eurogamer.

Yeah, Rock Band has had the entirety of Boston's first album available as DLC or on the disc, except one song - Let Me Take You Home Tonight - since not long after it launched.

Personally those DLC tracks will be the first thing I grab when the game finally launches in Australia in a few weeks, though it would be nice if people would remember that Boston actually wrote some other (very good) material after that album, too.

It's been a touch US-centric maybe, but in the last couple of months there's been the Who track pack, the Stone Roses, the Cult, Kasabian and Duran Duran joining a pretty decent selection of UK acts that were already available - the Clash, Bowie, Sabbath, the Police, Radiohead, the Buzzcocks, Maiden, Judas Priest...

Personally, I've found the DLC since RB2 came out aggravatingly and expensively top-notch. YMMV, obv.

Silly Eurogamer... ;) ;) [big grin] GHWT != RB2 ! I wish they were RB songs though - I'd love to have some Foreigner on my HDD.

yeah i realise that the Gossip are from the US but they are way more popular here than they are back home. I personsally also think their perfectly suited to RB.

The 'Epic Fail' in this article actually saved it from being entirely superfluous.

Aparently the full band box is out November 14th (according to game.co.uk), and the game and guitar (but not drums and mic) are out the 7th of Nov.

I'm kinda surprised that there aren't any official US reviews for GHWT yet, considering it is out over there on Sunday.

So, after forgetting to put the boss duels in as normally-playable songs in GH3, then releasing them as DLC to fix the problem... they do it again? n00bs.
