 Big MEH! August 16, 2008
This release was completely underwhelming. The kids played with it a couple of times then ignored it as it really didn't present anything new for them. It went over slightly less enthusiastically than the Guitar Hero Aerosmith release.
 Good game August 16, 2008
Overall this is a great game, but 20 songs? it's just not enough for me. The songs that are on are really good except for "March of the pigs"
 WTF did they do to the drums? August 10, 2008

First things first: The song selection is pretty good, and the vocal, guitar, and bass aspects of the songs are great, pretty much identical in function and execution to the original game. The drums however? Fuhgettaboudit.
My first gripe: you don't have to earn overdrive. They give the fills to you automagically. This kinda defeats the whole purpose; overdrive is there to help you with the hard parts after you did well in the easier parts. I guess this is a strange gripe, but really annoys me.
My second--and much more significant problem--with the modified drum play is whatever they did to the bass drum (the pedal). I can't tell if they changed the timing, or if it registers a beat differently, but either way playing the drums in RB:TP1 is an absolutely unfun chore. Songs that should be easy, fun, and a blast to play on medium ("Buddy Holly" and "All The Small Things") lose all their potential for enjoyment as soon as you hit the pedal for the first time: you'll spend the rest of the song concentrating on not messing up the beat rather then rocking out with your friends.
I'm not sure what possessed Harmonix to make these changes; I'm going to have to try RB2 before I buy it, in case these changes make it into the sequel (boy, I hope they don't). That said, if you are the singer, guitarist, or bassist for your "rock band" I can't recommend this Track Pack enough; the songs are a blast to play, and there's something in there for everyone.
However I pity my fellow drummers.
Rock Band takes a step backwards... August 9, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I got suckered...I'll admit it. I love these guitar simulation games. I own all of the Guitar Hero games and the original Rock Band. So, when I saw that Rock Band Track Pack was available I jumped at it. What a mistake! There are only 20 tracks in the game at a cost of $29.99, not really a good song to value ratio. But it's really the substandard track listings that bothered me. There are repeats from Guitar Hero such as Synchronicity II and More Than a Feeling which is bush league. The other tracks are just cruddy with the rare exception here and there (i.e. Calling Dr. Love, Buddy Holly and Siva). Plus, it seems like on more than a few songs the tracks were cut short (see Gimme Three Steps).
The Bottom Line: Rock Band Track Pack Vol. 1 is a waste of money. This game highlights the superiority of the Guitar Hero series to the Rock Band series. Now, if Guitar Hero would just add the solo feature from Rock Band then all would be right with the world...wait for Guitar Hero World Tour.
 Nice stand alone Rock Band "expansion" pack, is something missing? July 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The positives are that this is overall a good selection of the most popular Rock Band downloads. I was happy to see that I could keep track of my quickplay Bass scores locally unlike RB1, and that the conversion down from the PS3 game wasn't jarring, in fact this game feels and looks quite smooth for a PS2 release. The vocals are much easier to hit pitchwise, and the expert and hard modes feel more balanced on all the instruments, as do transitions and chords. The impact of a mere 20 songs is lessened by the multiple career paths and certain ones are just terrific to revisit (Interstate Love Song, Moonage Daydream, Truckin') on drums, guitar and vocals. The lack of BIG ROCK FINISHES is perplexing and I feel like something is missing mostly about 5 or six songs at least or some kind of unlockable content or extra credits song. The GHIII guitar works great on this game on the PS2(except for the effects switch, which offers new sounds this time around) and the RB DRUMS< GUITAR
