Rock Band PSP dated, songs listed

By Robert Purchese Published 18 May, 2009

Kansas! The Who! Bon Jovi! Blink 182.

EA, MTV and Harmonix have unveiled the list of songs included in Rock Band Unplugged, which launches on PSP on 19th June.

The tracks go as far back as The Who in the 1960s, and right up to present-day headbangers System of a Down. We like "Carry on Wayward Son" by Kansas and "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit. We don't like Weezer.

Rock Band Unplugged features an in-game DLC store, too, where players can download extra tracks via PC. There will be 10 tracks available at launch, including "Under the Bridge" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

In Rock Band Unplugged, players match the music by fingering the face buttons, and switch instruments - guitar, bass, vocals, drums - mid-song by whacking the shoulder buttons. Don't worry; instruments play themselves for a short while after a successful sequence.

Here's the tracklist in full:

    Meh!

  • Domovoi #2 3 years ago

    Brilliant subtitle punctuation.

  • Mr_Dodger #3 3 years ago

    Looks like a lot of "already licensed retread" there.

  • Unclebenny #4 3 years ago

    Questionalble music taste aside (Bon Jovi?) surely this psp version will take away everything thats good about rock band, i.e. fisher price plastic instruments and playing with friends? I cant believe anyone really would have choose to play with the pad on rockband over the instruments.

  • mrpon #5 3 years ago

    Nice tracklist

  • Zastai #6 3 years ago

    i'm looking forward to this, since it's basically a hand-held Amplitude
    slightly miffed that the dlc isn't shared with the "real" Rock Band though

  • DDevil #7 3 years ago

    I'm gonna get my FreQ on :-)

  • andywilkie35 #8 3 years ago

    "We don't like Weezer."

    My love for EG just took a knock there

  • DUFFKING #9 3 years ago

    I think people have missed the point here, in some ways it's basically a continuation of the old style HMX games like frequency and amplitude, wrapped up in the Rock Band skin. It should be a good game, even if it's not really the same thing as on the 'proper' consoles.

    Not if you don't have a "proper" console it isn't

  • dr_faulk #11 3 years ago

    At least they're not hacking on some weak peripheral. My poor PSP has laid dorment sense Advent Children, last year. *tsk*

  • reelbigkris #12 3 years ago

    Considering getting this because i loved frquency and amplitude so much. its a shame that many of the songs have allready been used before.

  • TFM_Excalibur #13 3 years ago

    This game sucks balls

  • Toothball #14 3 years ago

    This an actual Euro release date, or will we have to wait an inexplicable six months for this? Either way, I'm quite looking forward to this. Frequency and Amplitude were excellent.

  • Indy #15 3 years ago

    If. I. Could. Would. You?

    I would.

  • Unclebenny #16 3 years ago

    Ahh, if its more like frequency and amplitude, that makes more sense to me.

    I shall research better in the future.

  • Markitron #17 3 years ago

    How can you work for a games website and NOT like weezer? I suppose you think wrath of Kahn is crap too. Lose 500 geek points

  • jaxon58 #18 3 years ago

    That Weezer comment makes me cry pretend tears :(

  • kinky_mong #19 3 years ago

    Fuck me, I have never been more tempted to send hate mail to any site than after reading "We like My Own Worst Enemy by Lit. We Don't like Weezer"

    What. The. Hell?

  • Eraysor #20 3 years ago

    My god...the first PSP game I actually want to play since Wipeout Pulse!

  • Sonic_D #21 3 years ago

    Do ppl really like Weezer that much? Sure they're ok for some catchy insta-forget rock-pop, but anything more?

    Track list takes some good stuff from the big boy RB and it will be interesting if some the Frequency/Amplitude features makes it in too. But I don't own a PSP and can't really justify buying one with the lack of must have titles on it.

  • Apostle #22 3 years ago

    Blink 182!

  • Markitron #23 3 years ago

    @ Sonic D, Buddy Holly is not representative of the quality of Weezer. Listen to pinkerton!

  • cak #24 3 years ago

    Too bad the game is already out since last week, on the usual (more or less illegal) channels. One month before release... man, they must be mad at this.
    Even more worringly, nobody seems to care as I have struggled to find any comment on the net. The only thing I've understood is that the save file is locked to the console that created it, but all the songs can be unlocked from the start without any code so that hardly matters.
    Looking forward to a proper review, I guess we'll have some very soon.

  • Plewt #25 3 years ago

    An impressive list of shit, including Weezer.

  • dsmx #26 3 years ago

    The game does have a music store you do realise those who are moaning about the songs.

  • Plewt #27 3 years ago

    Yes...

    Downloadable songs (available from 9th June)

    30 Seconds to Mars - "The Kill"

    etc

  • RobotRocker #28 3 years ago

    Someone isnt a fan of Blink-182...

  • Ryze #29 3 years ago

    If it's not already been said, then it's disgusting that there's not a system allowing PS3 purchased songs to be imported. It's also stupid, as it would encourage more purchases of these songs on the PS3 game.

    I nearly bought the PS3 version 3 weeks ago, but then thought - 'why on earth would I do that while I have Xbox live?'

    An opportunity to even the odds with, 'because I can play the songs on the move with my PSP', has been lost.

    Shame.

  • Toothball #30 3 years ago

    @Ryze

    I think the main issue preventing that is that the note charts are quite significantly different. Sure it may be possible to include both in one pack somehow, but then the PS3 content would probably either take longer to arrive and most likely cost more. And then even if they had done so, that leaves all the people with piles of 360 DLC tracks out in the cold. Shared DLC isn't a bad idea, but there are quite a number of down sides to it too.

    I'm definitely picking this up, but I probably won't bother with any DLC for it though. I'm sticking to DLC I can play with the rest of my band

  • david78 #31 3 years ago

    We don't like Weezer.
    EG fucking sucks then.
