GHWT: Jimi Hendrix and European Track Packs Available

Activision has released a three song Jimi Hendrix Track Pack and a new European Track Pack. Already appearing as an in game playable character; guitar savant and music legend Jimi Hendrix returns to Guitar Hero World Tour's stage once again with an extraordinary three song Track Pack that will set fans fingers ablaze as they strive to keep up with his intense guitar riffs and insane solos. The second Jimi Hendrix Track Pack features "Freedom" and "Angel," two hit singles off of his First Rays of the New Rising Sun album, and a one of a kind 1969 live from Woodstock recording of the timeless classic "Foxey Lady."

As a follow-up to the third European Track Pack, rockers from the Netherlands, Germany and Spain are also contributing to Guitar Hero World Tour's increasing catalog of downloadable content. The Dutch symphonic rock/metal band Within Temptation takes the virtual stage with "What Have You Done," the first single off their fourth studio album The Heart of Everything. Joining them are German punk band Die Toten Hosen, who made their debut appearance in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, playing an encore as part of the full band experience with their 1988 hit "Hier Kommt Alex" and Spanish rock band M-Clan with their classic song "Carolina."

The Jimi Hendrix Track Pack 2 can be purchased for 440 Microsoft Points, with individual songs available for 160 Microsoft Points each. The fourth European Track Pack is also available for 440 Microsoft Points.
