Green Day Rock Band Co-Op Review

Marc Allie

The second band-centric game from Harmonix, Green Day Rock Band continues the tradition of strong co-op set by its forbears. It's still a great time to sing, strum, and hit plastic drum pads with a friend or five. The problem is, Green Day Rock Band doesn't do anything particularly new.

The demo for the latest band-centric music game, Green Day: Rock Band, is now available for download. XBLA and PSN users can check out "Welcome to Paradise" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" to decide whether this title is worth the gaming buck this unusually busy summer season. But a preview of the upcoming Green Day game isn't the most interesting part of the demo.

Green Day Rock Band Song List, Details

Marc Allie

As we near the June 8 release of Green Day Rock Band, the complete song list has been revealed. As expected, the heaviest emphasis is on the band's most popular albums: Dookie, American Idiot, and 21st Century Breakdown. (A personal favorite, Brain Stew is one of the included tracks, as well.) One surprising revelation is that there will be only three venues, which is much less than other music game titles. Exporting the disc's 47 songs into other Rock Band games will cost $10, but it's free if you buy the enhanced version, known as Green Day Rock Band Plus. This version will also include the previously released Green Day DLC.

Last year, both major music game series packed the last quarter of the year with releases. Besides being tough on the wallet, it's hard to really get the most out of the games when they come so often. This year, you'll have quite a while between the release of Green Day Rock Band on June 8, and Rock Band 3's "holiday" shelf appearance.
