Rob Zombie is in it, as well as Nickelback, Fallout Boy and Wolfmother. Looks like Empire Interactive is following the relatively recent trend of hiring big names to do their soundtrack in order to hype up expectations for the game itself. Will it work,? Maybe. Still, its not everyday you hear Fallout Boy and Rob Zombie on the same CD.
