    An interesting idea and a nice track list obviously aren't quite enough to make for a good rhythm game. Poor control ruins even the small ammount of fun you should be getting from this over simplistic game. Games like Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 have proven that even the simplest rhythm based games (or mini-games) can be a lot of fun. Unfortunately Battle of the Bands misses the opportunity to become poor man's (or kids') Rock Band.… Expand

    I applaud developer Planet Moon for trying something fresh and original in the music game genre. But I have to give them a wag of the finger for treating the player like a child. Really, we can handle more than a few swings of the Wiimote.

    Battle of the Bands is pretty fun, and it’s definitely a cheaper option in the whole music game fad than the peripheral-laden titles out there, but there’s just not a lot of depth there.

    Battle of the Band's bizarre mashups are fun to listen to but not as much fun to play.
