This game is quite fun but hardly about music at all. I bought it for my daughter and it has very little about music and more about shoot em up. A pity.

This is the worst game ever.
You shake your hand right, then left and forward to awful cover versions. That is it.
If i didn't have a job i would feel compelled to stand by the wii section in my local games store and plead with people not to buy it.
£11.42 (17/11/08) is at least £11.43 too much for it as you should be paid to play it.
I felt guilty selling it on.
Can't say anything more.......apart from PLEASE DON'T BUY IT!

This game is a great game to play with a friend. The controls are really intuitive, even my mum has had a go. There are levels to suit all abilities. All you need to be able to do is swing your arms from side to side and down, and give the occasional punch. When choosing who to play (which band), you get to choose between different genres of music, such as rock, hip hop, country, latin and marching band. Depending on who is doing the best in that section, the corresponding band plays. There are face off sections where you get to 'attack' your opponent, but there are also chances to attack during the beat sequences, using powerups. This game is so competitive!
I have not progressed as far in the 'adventure' single player mode. As I find it much more thrilling playing against someone.
The music tracks are varied, ranging from up to date AFI and Electric 6 to The Ramones. It does not matter that there are not a lot of known tracks, as AFI sounds very different with a hip-hop or country beat!
A really fun, easy to pick up game. Only lacking 5 stars due to the less interesting single player mode.

Battle of the bands
This game is okay if you haven't played any other music style games. The fact that you just wave your controller around is a bit disappointing if you have played games using more... Read more
