Rock Band 2 looks like it will be even more rockin’ than the original. The soundtrack will boast the largest music catalogue of any music-based game to date, including 100 songs, 80 of which will be on the disc, while the remaining 20 will be made available for free download in the fall.
And if that wasn’t enough, Rock Band 2 will debut new Guns N’ Roses music, as “Shackler’s Revenge” (which is not one of the "leaked" tracks), off the highly-anticipated Chinese Democracy, which has been 14 years in the making, will appear on the game. In addition, rockers will be able to play Bob Dylan’s “Tangled Up In Blue”, as well as AC/DC’s “Let There Be Rock”.
Rock Band 2 will hit Xbox 360 in September.
