I'm not really sold on this game, and the tracklist isn't helping. Even the exclusives aren't really a great selling point (whereas Lego Rock Band had "The Final Countdown" which is a really good way to sell a game).

So I don't know. I'll wait to play it.

Wow, at least half of that list has already been in other Gh's. Still, it's a nice song list.

Almost all are in RB already as well but it is a more casual game. it's not out yet and amp was great so I'll wait till I get my hands on it.

The track list only got revealed because the game got leaked, isn't that right?

I'm mad that happened. I was really hoping this game would sell well, as I really respect Harmonix as a company... But now? The game got leaked a month before release. That means a HUGE drop in sales.

Damn you PSP's security for being so broken. :/

I'm still buying it though. And the tracklist... Am I the only one who likes it?
I had a chance to try the game itself and it is fantastically fun to play. Can't wait to get my hands on it when it releases. Gimme.

You should be happy the security is amazing on RB unplugged then. You cant go into sleep mode in it (i dont know whether you can in the full game or not), but the worst/best thing is sometimes it can wipe out every game on your psp! I had to put 6 gigs worth of PSX games back on.

It's not that you're the only one who likes it, it's just that everyone else already liked it on RB/previous GH games.

Every system gets hacked to some degree. The problems with the PSP are problems WITH THE PSP, not with hacking on the PSP. I think that this game will, by standards for the console, sell well - and unless the game doesn't live up to standards and the leak leads to negative hype, I don't think that the leak will have a meaningful impact on sales compared to the piracy that would start if it was just dumped on the first day it was released.

Dude i like it too. The leak has some issues. (actually some leaks are horrible and some arent) I am going to buy the game on june 9th because i dont want any bugs or something on my psp. :) ROCK BAND IS GOING TO BE AMAZING. The set list is really good. and the dlc is even better. Who wouldnt want to buy this game. I wish they had a damn demo for this game. (for all the non-hacker fuckers) like me. RESISTANCE

Why would you not respect Harmonix anymore because the game was leaked? It only damages their sales.

I can't wait till ABC comes to the PS3/360 music stores.

I can pretend I'm Tito! And when the song ends, I'll fade into obscurity and become a punchline.

This is what I hate about rhythm games.They have some groups I like but not the songs I like from them or at least the most popular.

For example chop suey is good but I'll like Toxicity for this game even more.

Smashing Pumpkings is okay but why it can be The beginning is the end,the end is the beginning instead?

Pearl Jam is fine but I would like Do the evolution or Jeremy.

Nirvana too be honest i just like "Smells like teen spirit" from them.


(They could have chosen better stuff for 2000''s must of those songs suck)

I think we've all got our, "I wish they had picked THIS song instead" list.
Pumpkins? Give me 1979 and Tonight, Tonight.
Nirvana? Definitely Teen Spirit.

Just because songs are the most popular don't mean they are the most fun to play in the game.

I can honestly say that I think Smells Like Teen Spirit would be LESS fun to play than Drain You, for guitar anyways. Not that I don't want the song to be in RB, which I do, but you have to listen to the way the instruments play and realize which would be more fun to simulate.

I'm getting sick of these games, not because of the gameplay but because it's the same fucking songs over and over. Ugh. there's more music out there, people!

They keep trying to make "Indie Rock Hero", but bands go from popular to hated so fast it's impossible to get a track list together.

Ahh, I hate Pinball Wizard. I think they're making a mistake duplicating so much of the Rock Band 2 track list. The only way I would buy a PSP version is if all the songs could only be found on PSP. Even then I wouldn't buy it, but I just think it would make the game more appealing. I hope they put What's My Age Again on the console versions though.

What's My Age Again is on the consoles. It's available as DLC.

I do totally agree with the point about duplicating the RB2 track list a lot. If you have RB2, why would you get this?

Because:
1. It's portable.
2. It's not Rock Band. It's Amplitude/Frequency with Rock Band branding.

Wait. So they fit 41 tracks on a UMD which is what? 1.8 gigs? What a waste of blu-ray resources these games have been so far. :D

It's a really awesome game from what I've played so far (just out of the first city) and I will gladly get this on day one, here's to hoping for pre-order goodies.

Remember when everyone jumped on Capcom and others for announcing DLC before the game even came out? Why is this different?

(Note: I don't care either way; this is merely an observation)

Because these are all DLC from the console versions and everyone expects DLC for Rock Band games by now. They're still giving you a bunch of songs to play on your own, not taking out an entire mode to sell to you soon after launch.

Also, because everyone knows the UMD can not possibly hold much more than 41 songs. I do wish they would make some of these songs free DLC though. It doesn't really matter, I haven't played my PSP for over a year and I doubt this game knocks the dust off of it anyway.

It's a good game. Plays well. Shame there isn't compatibility for a peripheral here and there. Especially if you can connect the PSP to an HDTV. That would have been useful. But as ppl have said, the soundtrack has been on and off each series so nothing THAT new on offer. Still a sound game though.

The playlist shows that EA/Harmonix is playing this very, very safe. Most of these songs are on RB/RB2, so the investment in new licenses must be very, very low.

I'll wait for a demo, if the gameplay is ok, I might grab it. If not.... there's always RB2 on my 360 :)
