They claim that it is bringing kids away from the real experience of playing an instrument. However, Harmonix’s John Drake says that he thinks that these music games are more of a helpful way to get kids into playing real instruments. In an interview Drake said:

“I think they’re missing the point. I think that they don’t understand why it’s a phenomenon. From my perspective, anything that gets kids interested in music and gets kids playing music in their house that isn’t an MP3 they stole off the internet, is a good thing. Anything that’s making money for music and making music relevant to kids again is a good thing. I think they think that we prefer people playing plastic guitars over real guitars, and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. We would love nothing more than for every kid that buys Beatles: Rock Band in September to immediately ask for a real guitar for Christmas because they’re inspired.”

In my opinion, I believe that these types of games are a  good experience for younger kids who are thinking about maybe playing an instrument later on in their life. These games also provide a interesting and unique way of playing an instrument for kids.

The following are a list of the nine songs that will be available for download next month. Personally, I don’t think any of the DLC content is worth it unless you know, and like, one of the songs in it.

February 12th: The Acoustic Track Pack

  • Incubus: “Drive
  • The Shins: “New Slang
  • Ryan Adams: “Wonderwall”

February 19th: Paul McCartney’s Wings Pack

  • “Junior’s Farm”
  • “Hi Hi Hi”
  • “Jet”

February 26th: Bob Seger Track Pack:

  • “Old Time Rock and Roll”
  • “Her Strut”
  • “Get Out of Denver” (live version)

The cost of these is about the same on all systems. 440 Microsoft Points for the set, or 160 Microsoft Points for a single. The Playstation Network has them available for $5.50, or $1.99 for a single. Finally, for the Wii, singles are 200 points. Excited to see more content is being added to the Wii live, this is a big step forward for Nintendo.
