5 out of 5 stars Excellent alternative to DLC.   May 19, 2009

A good alternative to having Downloadable Content (DLC) on the Wii. This track pack gives you the opportunity to own 20 of the songs that the other consoles can purchase individually. This game does NOT require you to own any other version of Rock Band, it is a stand-alone. So in that aspect it could be viewed as a large demo.

The song listing in my opinion is just OK, but that is all about your own personal taste. The songs are all master recordings. Stone Roses - "Love Spreads" is my favorite song by far and I had never heard that song before this game. If you are an "expert" plastic guitar player, this track pack will not bring too much challenge. For the easy-hard players, this is a good opportunity to have some fun rocking out and even move up a notch in difficulty. $30 for 20 songs isn't too bad of a price considering you could spend $40 if you had to download them all separately, and this track pack doesn't require you to own the full game.

Bottom Line: If you like the songs on this list, it's a must buy. (Plastic music peripheral sold separately.)

As others have already stated, this track pack could use more songs. Having said that, I will say that the song selection is pretty good though. I love the fact that they put "Closer to the Heart" by Rush on this - one of my favorite Rush songs. Two thumbs up.
To clarify, just in case there is still some confusion out there about compatibility, this track pack (for the Wii) IS compatible with the Wii Band Hero instruments. I was a little nervous to buy this game because the first Rock Band is not supposed to be compatible with the Band Hero instruments, but Rock Band 2 is compatible, so I wasn't sure where the track packs fit into the picture. But, my guitar and drums work perfectly - no problems. I can't say whether this will work with the Guitar Hero World Tour instruments, but my guess would be that it does not. The Wii has the least compatibility between Rock Band and Guitar Hero out of the gaming consoles.
