RockBand 2 Wii: The Missing Redemption Code and Bonus Songs

posted by jangro on (2 years, 4 months ago)

We got Rockband 2 for Christmas as the "Family Gift". read "for Dad". We've been having a great time with it.

I will say, however, that I'm a bit disappointed with the songs that come with it. Maybe I'm just showing my age. Rockband is SO much easier if you actually know the song first. Without having the beat of the song in your head, it's nearly impossible to move past "easy" mode.

It comes with 80 songs with the promise of another 20 available for download by entering a redemption code in on their website. This promotion was on the box, and the packaging.

After my wife hunted around for way too long for the mysterious redemption code, I jumped online and learned from some 12 year olds that the Wii version didn't come with this code. Customers would have to wait for the online store to get these free songs.

Well, that was almost a year ago, and the online store is now available. I went in and checked and discovered the free songs.

Lo and behold, there are 20 free songs mixed in with hundreds of not-free songs. I don't think I know any of them, but your mileage may vary. Particularly if you're a grunge rocker.

Here they are in order of difficulty

  1. Manifesto - "Burn You Down"
  2. TheNewNo2 - "Crazy Tuesday"
  3. GLaDOS and Jonathan Coulton - "Still Alive"
  4. The CAB - "Bounce"
  5. Hollywood Undead - "Young"
  6. Lesley Roy - "I'm Gone I'm Going"
  7. The Len Price 3 - "If I Ain't Got You"
  8. Dealership - "Database Corrupted"
  9. Semi Precious Weapons - "Magnetic Baby"
  10. Cocktail Slippers - "Give it to me"
  11. Ghost Hourds - "Ashes to Fire"
  12. Kutless - "The Feeling"
  13. The 88 - "Sons and Daughters"
  14. The Chevelles - "Get it On"
  15. Tickle Me Pink - "The Time is Wrong"
  16. X Japan - "I.V."
  17. Endeverafter - "I Wanna be Your Man"
  18. Shaimus - "Like a Fool"
  19. Underoath - "Desperate Times, Desperate Measures"
  20. Authority Zero - "No Regrets"
  21. Between the Buried and Me - "Prequel to the Sequel"

I think we'll be buying some songs. Though we did also get the Beatles Rock Band game. My three year old can do the vocals to Yellow Submarine, the chorus anyway.
