It sure seemed like it was taking awhile to get the complete set list for Activision’s next band-focused Guitar Hero, but now that we know the release date the delay is a little more understandable: The game’s coming out way later than anyone expected.
According to an exclusive reveal from MTV’s Multiplayer blog, the release date for Guitar Hero: Van Halen is December 22. Yes, three days before Christmas. I can’t say I understand the rationale there, but with so many other high-profile music games hitting the market this fall, perhaps Activision just wanted to push the release as late as possible without missing Christmas altogether.
In any event, there you have it. Oh, but there’s just one more thing: MTV also revealed what appears to be the entire track list for the game. Those clever rascals! I’ve included it after the break.
