"Anecdotal"
A blast of raw hard rock, the game crackles with AC/DC's live anthems, from "Thunderstruck" to "Back in Black", in all their electric power. Thunderous riffs and stadium energy turn the living room into a supercharged concert. This pure, uncompromising rock jolt delights fans of distorted guitars.
Gameplay
"Excellent"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Grabbing a plastic guitar, hammering the drums and screaming into the mic over AC/DC riffs: the energy of hard rock is lived here at full volume. Nailing the songs note for note, alone or with others, delivers an instant high. Loud, unifying and packed with hits, a muscular karaoke that turns the living room into a concert stage.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Bringing together guitar, drums, bass and vocals to replay a hit as a band turns the evening into an improvised concert where everyone wants to hold their part to the very end. Unlocking songs and aiming for a better score keeps reviving the setlist. The pile of instruments is cumbersome and some titles wear thin, but this collective energy keeps a rare power to draw you in.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Collector interest
An AC/DC song disc for the Rock Band platform, offering a full concert by the band to play on plastic instruments. Still common, its interest lies in this single-artist licensed music object rather than scarcity. A niche piece for fans of music games and of the Australian band, accessible on the Western market.
Better with friends
An electric home concert where four friends split guitar, bass, drums and vocals to replay the catalog of a cult hard-rock band. Teamwork rules: holding the tempo together and saving a struggling bandmate brings a contagious stage euphoria. You'll want the plastic instruments to enjoy it fully, but the band energy turns every track into a unifying moment.
Is AC-DC Live - Rock Band still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2008 on PS2, Harmonix's Rock Band extension is entirely devoted to AC-DC with eighteen playable songs. The fidelity of the instrumental rendering, the stadium staging and the tracklist drawn from Live at Donington turn the session into a real concert. The instrumental handling stays accessible and the band's fervour keeps all its power. The gradual closure of online servers and the dependency on dedicated instruments limit access. Recommended today for instrumental rhythm devotees, for AC-DC fans and for PS2 Rock Band collectors on Sony's second home console hardware globally.
