Guitar Hero Expansion Pack Coming?

Submitted by Midnight on Tue, 05/22/2007 - 7:52pm.

Guitar Heroes

Today the upcoming PS2 exclusive Guitar Hero Encore: Rock the 80s had new tracks announced for inclusion. Is Activision planning to release the content to Xbox 360 users as well? Read on for the titles and discussion.

The total list now stands at

* 18 and Life (as made famous by Skid Row)
* Bathroom Wall (as made famous by Faster Pussycat)
* Lonely is the Night (as made famous by Billy Squier)
* Nothing But a Good Time (as made famous by Poison)
* Play With Me (as made famous by Extreme)
* Shaken (as made famous by Eddie Money)
* Synchronicity II (as made famous by Police)
* I Wanna Rock (by Twisted Sister)
* I Ran (by Flock of Seagulls)
* Round and Round (as made famous by Ratt)
* I Want Candy (as made famous by Bow Wow Wow)
* Metal Health (as made famous by Quiet Riot)
* Holy Diver (as made famous by Dio)
* Heat Of The Moment (as made famous by Asia)

The title is supposedly "exclusive" to the PS2, but does that mean exclusive in stores? Could the 360 receive the new game via an expansion pack? Ted Lange, the associate producer for Guitar Hero II, said in this interview that Guitar Hero II for 360 would feature more downloadalbe content than any title as of that date. Let's hope they'll give us a bulk discount for an expansion pack, as the current track list of 14 would cost about $30 alone at their current price point for DLC, and there are 16 more tracks to be announced for a total of 30.

I'm so totally buying that

I'm so totally buying that game the second it comes out! I only know about two of those songs, but after I'm done Guitar-Hero-ing them to death, I'm sure I'll love 'em.

Speaking of guitar playing

Speaking of guitar playing and Extreme...remember their song "More than Words." Yeah, it's a softy. But here's a tip for you bachelors: Learn to play it (on a real guitar, mind you). It's not too difficult, but there is some fingerpicking and some BS lyrics about love you'll need to memorize. Keep the guitar in your trunk and save it as your ace in the hole for a date. Things not going well? You can probably turn it around with More Than Words. Things going well already? They'll probably be going a lot better if you break out More Than Words.

I'd say it's the instant equivalent of getting N'Sync hair highlights and dropping 8% body fat.

It's really weird that you

It's really weird that you mention that. I went to the movies with a friend not too long ago, and there was an acoustic song playing by some guy (might have been John Mayer, but that's not what matters). He pointed at his car stereo and said, "If you play a song like that for a chick during a date, she'll go crazy for you. Seriously."
