The songs on offer feature the best of British bands such as Blur, Bloc Party and Queen, as well as a variety of American greats including Steppenwolf, Queens of the Stone Age and Soundgarden. The complete track listing is as follows:
We Rock: Drum King hasn't been getting the greatest of reviews over in the U.K., and now out of nowhere comes Rolling Stone: Drum King, which was made by the same developer, 505 games. A long term strategy to use the Rolling Stone name, or a quick ploy to avoid the bad reviews?
Guardian writes: "Drum King should have inherited a clear template for success after Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Unfortunately, despite reasonable looks it plays with all the believability of the Cadbury gorilla."
According to several retailers, it appears that 505 Games is bringing its game Wii-exclusive drumming game, called We Rock: Drum King in Europe, to North America this year.
Re-dubbed Rolling Stone: Drum King (that's the music magazine, not the band), the title eschews the use of a drum peripheal, instead going a different route -- the game will require two Wii Remotes for air drumming. You know, like actual drum sticks, except they're just Wii Remotes.
The game is developed by ARC System Works, and was announced for European release awhile back, with a 30-song track list that included such songs as Saliva's "Click Click Boom," Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" and an instrumental version of DJ Shadow's "Organ Donor."
