Rockband: AC / DC Live

[Charlton]

The enormous power of AC / DC is released and you're in the band! You let cannons pop, late drum skins crack and let everyone fat rock. You are there as AC / DC one of his historic performances shows."

This exclusive deal marks the first time ever the band has included an entire album for video game play, with 18 live tracks from their prolific live performances becoming available in one electrifying, standalone game. The AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack allows players to experience this amazing set list with Rock Band, Rock Band 2 or other compatible music game peripherals.

This notice can be found on the packaging of the Wii game Rockband: AC / DC Live. And I hear you thinking: a new variant Rock Band? Nothing is less true, because Rockband: AC / DC Live is better, newer, bolder and faster than all his predecessors. AC / DC Live is the third so-called 'track pack', which included songs previously available as downloadable content were. The track packs were initially meant to be set for consoles that are not good opportunities for content to download, but the second and third track pack for all modern consoles released. A track can pack in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 imported into existing Rock Band games, but also stand-alone play. In that case, the opportunities limited.

Because the main components of the game have not changed, we will discuss in this review only the contents of Rock Band: AC / DC Live, not the standard things like sound and graphics.

The rockers AC / DC are back (for even) to put the card in this game. Though almost 30 years and (as last I heard) still perform, it seems the youth are not really warm up for these "Guys from Down Under '. For indeed, alongside Kylie Minogue, Gabriella Cilmi and Slim Dusty, the music of AC / DC is not really intended as a good meezinger. But perfect for the sequel to your own guitar on the Wii.

Gameplay

Once you start the game shows why. A cool intro does its job and our interest was immediately awakened. The list of songs is, however, also some against. It contains eighteen songs, but the setlist from the famous Live at Donington concert. Not that what anyone says, but songs like "Back in Black", "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Whole Lotta Rosie", may make a bell ring. The real AC / DC fan can be so heart's content. The game is around 40 euros in the shop and you get so much hard drums, hard pruning, and a screaming guitar solo Brian Johnson.

AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack features the master recordings from the best of the band’s live performances. The live recording was specially remixed for Rock Band by Mike Fraser. The game features 18 tracks, with more than 99 minutes of game play for each instrument.

All tracks from the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack are also available for play in Rock Band and Rock Band 2* by entering a special export authentication code for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION 3 versions.

Unfortunately, the real band can not image even a video from. It is also, especially if your Guitar Hero or Rock Band are currently difficult for the chords to play. On or contrast, when the right strings, colors suits you, you can draw good solo play, as the bonus solo in the song 'Let There Be Rock', with many extra points you can score, or a muscle strain can reach.

Conclusion

Well, Rockband: AC / DC Live is a nice change and definitely for real Diehard rock fans a pleasant addition to the Wii collection. But in times of economic recession seems to me that more cents you can save for another game. The lack of a multitude of numbers, little variation and the lack of videos, make sure that this game a while, probably in the uitverkoopbak the known toy shops face.

If you do not die hard AC / DC fan, you have little to this game. The lack of numbers and the variation they still break up. The fact that the game fairly quickly tired of his work will not really. None aanrader so.
