    Band Hero is an impressive game, but it does take a hit for not feeling that unique because this is really just Guitar Hero 5 with a pink/purple motif.

    While hardcore Guitar Hero fans will probably complain about this one, Band Hero is another excellent addition to the series, one that makes party play a priority and delivers.

    Band Hero is clearly aimed at a very specific audience, and for that audience it's a goldmine of content that they'll enjoy. For guys like me, who actually like rock music, I'll stick with something a little more hardcore.

That said, i think Activision slipped and got out of control , releasing so many GH games in one year or a little period of time is painful.… Expand

    Wow. This is THE BIGGEST piece of crap i've ever had the unpleasure to play. With the worst tracklist ever, easy, EASY difficulty, I9;d rather kill myself than play this crap. There's maybe 5 songs that were good. Rock Star, Heard it through the grapvine, the three doors down song, lifeline, and Our lips our sealed.… Expand
