European Rock Band Tracks Heading Stateside

European Rock Band Tracks Heading Stateside
Written Wednesday, April 09, 2008 by Dan Webb

This downloadable content lark is a huge part of this current generation of consoles and it's getting more and more prevalent. Talk about a bit of a cash cow!
 
Anyway, I digress... As expected [well I expected anyway], Kotaku earlier reported that the European songs that will be included in the game when it's released will be available at a later date for the US in the form of DLC. So all US Oasis and Blur fans, rejoice! You will get your British rock!! 
 
As far as how much, when and how it will be split... At the moment, your guess is as good as ours.
 
The songs are as follows...
 
• Blur "Beetlebum" (English)
• Oasis "Rock 'n' Roll Star" (English)
• Tokio Hotel "Monsoon" (English)
• Muse "Hysteria" (English)
• Les Wampas "Manu Chao" (French)
• Playmo "New Wave" (French)
• Die Toten Hosen "Hier Kommt Alex" (German)
• Juli "Perfekte Welle" (German)
• H-Block X "Countdown to Insanity" (German)

That is awesome I love Oasis and I liked Hier Kommt Alex from GH3. Probably download them and check out the others to see if they are any good.

I read earlier (I don't remember the site.. I think it was Kotaku or gamespot) that these tracks will be made available for US at the same time as the game releases in Europe.

its good that they are giving the US these songs also, makes it easier to play online with people from the UK... seeing as you have to have the same songs to be able to play them online.

Just sucks that they get em for free and we gots ta buy em. but its cool, a few good ones listed there anyways!

I live in Europe but I'm glad US are getting these songs! :)

Bzook. Why moan about having to pay for these songs if you want them? I live in England and yes I'm looking forward to playing Muse, Oasis and Blur (even Hier Kommt Alex) but have never heard of the other 5 songs. Plus we get the privilege of paying double what North America had to pay for the game and instruments (oh, and 6 months later). That's something worth moaning about.

thommaso. Dutch music? Last dutch band I heard of was the Vengaboys and I never want to play any of their songs.

Looking forward to playing Hysteria. Love the intro.

Pretty let down by this, we've been waiting months and when we finally get some info on it we find out we get a few exclusive songs, which is great, I like those songs a long and then finally we get the release date, fantastic! but now we get no exclusives for the awful wait? nice one...

Man, these had better be free. Othewise if will actually be a case of the UK getting something 'free' that we don't get here stateside.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
