Guitar Hero DLC Blows My Mind, My Wallet
They’ve done it again. Activision has now fully committed to the unpopular wallet-raping practices they introduced with the first round of track packs for Guitar Hero 2 on the Xbox 360. Presented in packs of three songs (no, you don’t get to pick which songs), each pack costs a mildly painful 500 Microsoft points. (Note: 80 points = $1.00, so 500 points = $6.25.)
Seeing as how it’s been a couple months since they released their last three song packs, I was starting to think they’d come around and address the abject hatred people had for this pricing scheme. Nope, didn’t happen. And the worst part (besides the fact that it’s only one new pack after all this time)?
I’m still going to fucking buy this. Just like I did with the first three song packs, and just like I’m going to do now. Only this time, I’m actually eager because the song listing is:
- “I Wanna Be Sedated” - The Ramones
- “Smoke On the Water” - Deep Purple
- “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming” - Judas Priest
In all honesty, I can take or leave the first two. The Ramones track is a mind bogglingly easy song to play, but it is pretty fun. “Smoke On the Water” may have one of the heaviest riffs of all time, but the song itself is overall pretty lame — boo on that choice.
But Judas Priest? Oh man. Not only was this my favorite song to play from the original Guitar Hero release, it might just be my favorite song across all Guitar Hero releases.
Time to work on my Rob Halford impression all over again.
