14 DAY TRIAL // Harmonix and MTV Games have announced that Rock Band 3, the new music simulation title coming in the fall, will feature no less than 83 tracks on the disk and will allow for more simulation options that any other competing title.
In addition to keeping the three part vocal harmonies, which were initially seen in last year's The Beatles: Rock Band, the fresh game will be delivering a keyboard peripheral set to permit players to experience music as they have never done before.
Harmonix is also making it easier for players to customize their songs lists and then share them with friends and other players, allowing for music tastes to be more easily discerned. The list of songs the developer has confirmed for Rock Band 3 includes:
Metric - “Combat Baby” Rilo Kiley - “Portions for Foxes” Them Crooked Vultures - “Dead End Friends” The Vines - “Get Free” The White Stripes - “The Hardest Button to Button” Phoenix - “Lasso” Ida Maria - “Oh My God” Juanes - “Me Enamora” Jane’s Addiction - “Been Caught Stealing” Smash Mouth - “Walkin’ on the Sun” Spacehog - “In the Meantime” Stone Temple Pilots - “Plush” Dio - “Rainbow in the Dark” Huey Lewis and the News - “The Power of Love” Joan Jett - “I Love Rock and Roll” Night Ranger - “Sister Christian” Whitesnake - “Here I Go Again” The Cure - “Just Like Heaven” Ozzy Osbourne - “Crazy Train” Queen - “Bohemian Rhapsody” Jimi Hendrix - “Crosstown Traffic” The Doors - “Break On Through.”
Rock Band 3 is also set to allow players to import music they have downloaded for previous games in the series in order to make sure that the library of tracks offered to fans is as big and varied as possible, with close to 2,000 tracks available.
