The influential punk-pop rock band Green Day goes interactive, with a dedicated release in MTV Games' successful play-along franchise. The game features the band's three core members, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool, in virtual form, on stage at various venues important to the trio's storied career history. As in earlier editions of Rock Band, players can jam with the instrument of their choice, and the Green Day edition supports three-part vocal harmonies specific to the band's music. There are 47 playable Green Day songs on the disc, including "American Idiot," "Brain Stew/Jaded," "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "Hitchin' a Ride," and "Wake Me Up When September Ends."
In addition to all the songs and gameplay of the standard edition, Green Day: Rock Band Plus includes a code that activates an export function, allowing users to pull the songs from the disc into their existing Rock Band library, where they may be performed with custom avatars. It also comes with a code for six additional, downloadable Green Day songs.
