  • Summary: Ultimate Band for Nintendo DS is a rhythm-based music game with a built-in recording studio. Players can jam to current and classic songs using the drums, lead guitar, bass guitar, or rhythm guitar. Players can also create their own original songs using the DS touchscreen and stylus to lay down tracks for each instrument and apply creative mixing effects. Ultimate Band for Nintendo DS also includes DGamer functionality which allows players to engage with others in a secure online community via their DS (Wi-Fi or ad hoc) or computer.

  1. The drums are the most fun, but least challenging.
  2. This could have been a great game, but the very short song list and the insufficient multiplayer-part really drags it down.
  3. If it sounds complex, just understand this: It makes it surprisingly easy for you to make decent sounding tunes, and it'll store up to 12 of them. You can even join up over Wi-Fi and record yourself and three other players jamming together, or connect to the vastly inferior Wii version of the game and use your DS to run a light show. Guitar Hero, are you paying attention?
