One of the reasons people are still playing Rock Band on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is because Harmonix has consistently made new songs available for purchase online. Unfortunately for PlayStation 2 and Wii owners, their versions of the game don't support downloadable content so the only way to get new songs is to purchase a Track Pack, the first of which is now available.
Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1 contains 20 songs and carries an MSRP of $30 (USD). The songs are as follows:
Blink-182: "All the Small Things"
The All-American Rejects: "Move Along"
30 Seconds to Mars: "The Kill"
Weezer: "Buddy Holly"
Stone Temple Pilots: "Interstate Love Song"
Faith No More: "We Care a Lot"
David Bowie: "Moonage Daydream"
Paramore: "Crushcrushcrush"
The Police: "Synchronicity II"
Boston: "More Than a Feeling"
The Hives: "Die, All Right!"
Oasis: "Live Forever"
Ramones: "Teenage Lobotomy"
KISS: "Calling Dr. Love"
Queens of the Stone Age: "Little Sister"
Nine Inch Nails: "March of the Pigs"
Smashing Pumpkins: "Siva"
The Grateful Dead: "Truckin'"
Lynyrd Skynyrd: "Gimme Three Steps"
Wolfmother: "Joker & the Thief"
You don't have to own the original Rock Band to play the Track Pack, as it's a completely independent piece of software--you boot it up just like you would Rock Band. The main downfall with this design is that if you want to switch between Rock Band and the Track Pack, you'll need to turn off the system, remove the disc, put the other disc in, and start the game again. This downtime certainly has the potential to bring your Rock Band party to a screeching halt. All of the modes found in Rock Band are also found in the Track Pack, so you won't have to switch discs if you one to play a new mode, or go from single-player to multi-player.
So, is it worth it? That depends on how you feel about the songs on the disc and how much you're jonesing for new Rock Band tunes. If you like a fair amount of songs on the disc, then go for it. If there's not much here to your liking, hope that there's a Volume 2. Oh yeah, and if you don't already own Rock Band and you're trying to decided between it and the Track Pack, Rock Band is clearly the better value (more songs and it comes bundled with instruments), so start there.
