If you've been savoring the slow trickle of track list announcements for Activision's tween-oriented rhythm title, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/band-hero"><em>Band Hero</em></a>, your prolonged pleasure is about to come to a satisfying, yet <em>abrupt end</em>. The publisher has <a href="http://investor.activision.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=416386">revealed</a> <em>all</em> of the songs that will be available on the generically monikered game, and we've posted them -- along with details about compatible DLC and song importing from other <em>Guitar Hero </em>games -- after the jump in the least confusing manner we could possibly conjure. To help in this endeavor, we've even added a table of contents!<br />
<br />

<strong>Update:</strong> It appears as though Activision itself has answered the question of what songs specifically are importable into <em>Guitar Hero 5</em> from <em>World Tour</em> (35 songs) as well as <em>Smash Hits</em> (21 songs), via the <a href="http://guitarhero.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/guitarhero.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=24672&amp;p_created=1251305800&amp;p_sid=sg1eGSGj&amp;p_accessibility=0&amp;p_redirect=&amp;p_lva=&amp;p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MTMsMTMmcF9wcm9kcz0wJnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PWltcG9ydA!!&amp;p_li=&amp;p_topview=1">Activision Customer Support Center</a>. The full list of songs available from each game has been dropped after the break -- thanks to everyone for sending this in!<br />
<br />
We can't lie to you, friends -- when Activision claimed songs from last year's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/guitar-hero-world-tour"><em>Guitar Hero World Tour</em></a> would be <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/10/more-on-guitar-hero-5-song-import-dlc-support-band-hero-will-d/">playable</a> in this year's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/guitar-hero-5"><em>Guitar Hero 5</em></a>, we were skeptical. It seems that skepticism proved right, as <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2009/08/guitar-hero-rocks-on/1">USA Today</a> reveals that a hair over one third of <em>GHWT</em>'s tracks can be downloaded into the new game. Specifically, just 35 of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/09/12/heres-the-full-guitar-hero-world-tour-set-list/"><em>World Tour</em>'s 86 tracks</a> are playable in <em>GH5</em>, with an unspecified amount of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/guitar-hero-smash-hits"><em>Guitar Hero Smash Hits</em></a> tracks available "later this Fall." The licensing fee for those 35 tracks is 280<img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif" />/$3.50 for Xbox 360 and PS3, though it remains unclear whether or not that fee would include <em>Smash Hits</em>' tracks when those are released.<br />
<br />
We've asked Activision for clarification of which tracks specifically are available in <em>GH5</em> and when <em>Smash Hits</em> will be ready for download, but unfortunately were told that we'd get a release tomorrow with "tons of details." So this is where we crowdsource things -- <em>Guitar Hero 5</em> owners in the Joystiq Biomass[TM], please let us know which 35 of <em>Guitar Hero World Tour</em>'s 86 tracks are playable! <a href="mailto:ben@joystiq.com?subject=GHWT tracks in GH5">Our inbox</a> is always open!<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/01/report-only-35-songs-from-guitar-hero-world-tour-work-with-gh5/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Report: Only 35 songs from Guitar Hero World Tour work with GH5 [update]</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/01/report-only-35-songs-from-guitar-hero-world-tour-work-with-gh5/">Report: Only 35 songs from Guitar Hero World Tour work with GH5 [update]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:30:00 EST.
