    Neversoft and Activision have built on the successful design of Guitar Hero 5 and given it a fresh new look and replaced all that aggressive rock and pounding metal with fun and energetic pop music and the smooth sounds of classic rock from the past three decades that will certainly appeal to younger gamers and their parents.

    With sturdier instruments, a great track listing and some new tweaks and twists to the gameplay, Band Hero is a great game for solo or parties and with the inclusion of celebrity avatars and improved customization features, this game is everything you need to enjoy and start your own virtual band.

    Band Hero is a pretty nice game with the intention of reaching a more varied audience than Guitar Hero. It's got a lot of fine and popular tracks. The game is also a little bit easier and the graphics are pretty colorful. A game for everyone, but die-hard Guitar Hero fans can better stick with the Guitar Hero franchise.

    A Huge suprise... almost all of the songs are REALLY fun to play, and the esthetic is welcoming. Just as good as the superior GUITAR HERO 5.

    The game is actually very fun to play. The setlist consists mainly of pop and pop rock and is pretty easy to play. If you're a hardcore player, you won't find any big challenge from this game. The game is still enjoyable to play and a different experience when you don't have to play very hard songs and can relax with some easy ones.… Expand

    I bought this and lego rockband, I preferred the rockband presentation over the hero laziness. For example you don't know how difficult is a song, you have intensity instead. It's something that only lazy marketing person can invent.… Expand
