When Do You Get Almost Easy on Rock Band 2

Rockband

LOS ANGELES -- Here's what you'll be rocking out to in Rock Band 2.

At Microsoft's press conference Monday morning, Harmonix President and CEO Alex Rigopulos made several surprising announcements regarding the company's next music game. Rock Band 2 will include a track -- "Shackler's Revenge" -- from Guns N' Roses' upcoming been-in-production-forever album Chinese Democracy, and AC/DC and Bob Dylan will make their rhythm game debuts in the game.

A Glimpse Into Harmonix's Punk-Rock Design Process

Oh, and he announced the complete track list.

The game's soundtrack will include more than 80 songs on the disc, with 20 more available as free downloads later in the fall. Also, all tracks will be master recordings, so no more lame covers to hinder your quest for the ultimate rock experience.

More good news: Every downloadable track from the original Rock Band will be playable in *Rock Band 2. *

What's more, you'll be able to export "almost all" of the tracks on your *Rock Band *disc, saving them to your console's hard drive so they can be played in Rock Band 2 without swapping discs.

(Here's the fine print on the above feature, courtesy Harmonix: "Online connection required. Nominal fee required for export of Rock Band 1 soundtrack to compensate music licensors for expanded use. Fee still to-be-determined but will be under $5. The list of exportable *Rock Band 1 *tracks has not yet been finalized as music licenses are currently in the process of being re-acquired.")

Rigopulos said Monday that in all, 500 different tracks will be playable in Rock Band 2 by the end of 2008.
