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.
-
Overall Band Hero is a good game, as it's essentially Guitar Hero 5 with a different skin and track list.
-
This game is aimed for those that enjoy music and video games but maybe not as into the metal scene.
-
It’s hard to take Band Hero out of the context of its recent music game brethren. Band Hero is the least innovative of the bunch, but that certainly doesn’t make it bad. For players who found previous releases too hard-edged for their tastes, Band Hero is exactly what they’ve been waiting for.
-
Although Band Hero is not a bad game, it misses lots of new possibility's. Don't expect a new game, it's more of a Guitar Hero Light.
-
It's a game that comes across more as GH with a different musical focus, rather than as a new IP in its own right. Band Hero is far from being a bad game, but somewhere along the line it seems the new franchise's focus became a little confused.
-
The game is sound on the technical side, and if you were still a big fan of the stuff, then I'd say Band Hero would be right up your alley once again. However, if you're feeling more than a little burned out at this point, and hoping for something particularly awesome from this release, prepare to be disappointed.

MikesNov 15, 2009A 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.
