The Pop Rock legends tracks that have been added are:
The Cranberries – Zombie
Supergrass – Alright
The Cure – Friday I’m In Love
Lifehouse – Hanging By A Moment
Bon Jovi – It’s My Life
All of these tracks are playable in the single player modes, which are arcade, classic and smashed reality (MR mode) and are playable in all difficulties in every mode.
PotemWorks really do know how to pick a great selection from the genre they are releasing the tracks from, and they have done it again with the Pop Rock genre. The addition on The Cure being a massive plus for me, I love everything The Cure have done, with the other tracks all being great and popular hits in their own rights.
As I have come to expect with Smash Drums all the tracks are perfectly mapped for all the difficulties, so never mind what you play the game on they feel great to play. One thing that shocked me was, how difficult some of these tracks get and the actual amount of drums to smash, in some cases getting as little breaks as you did in the Hard Rock legend songs.
The Verdict
As previously mentioned PotemWorks really know how to pick the perfect songs from each genre they approach with their music packs. Adding another great selection of tracks from popular artists that most people will resonate with, I think my neighbours will be wondering what’s going on as I sing along to The Cure as I’m playing it. With the change of genre for each pack it means all sort of musical tastes are covered in Smash Drums, meaning everyone can extend the already impressive base set of tracks.
