Rock Band is an amazing rhythm game hindered by less-than-mediocre hardware, but that's not what this review is about.

The Rock Band Track Packs are a series of discs containing songs downloadable for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Rock Band. The song list for Volume 1 is as follows.

The Kill - 30 Seconds to Mars
Move Along - All-American Rejects
All the Small Things - Blink-182
More Than A Feeling - Boston
Moonage Daydream - David Bowie
We Care A Lot - Faith No More
Truckin' - Grateful Dead
Die, All Right! - The Hives
Calling Dr. Love - KISS
Gimme Three Steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd
March of the Pigs - Nine Inch Nails
Live Forever - Oasis
Crushcrushcrush - Paramore
Synchronicity II - The Police
Little Sister - Queens of the Stone Age
Teenage Lobotomy - The Ramones
Siva - Smashing Pumpkins
Interstate Love Song* - Stone Temple Pilots
Buddy Holly - Weezer
Joker & the Thief - Wolfmother

*Probably the best song ever in a rhythm game ever.

As you can see, it's a pretty good list.

Compared to Rock Band, it has a slight overhaul, graphically, and looks more like the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions than the PS2 version.

There's also a change in the interface, causing it to be more nit-picky. You have to be spot-on for the points, and that's kind of hard to get used to, given how leniency of the original.

Here are the final scores:

Song Selection: 8/10
Graphics: 8/10
Gameplay: 7/10

Overall: 7.5/10
