Review

 







Battle of the Bands is the ultimate music rhythm game exclusively on Wii. The story is set in a fictitious world gone mad, where bands battle for music supremacy using weaponised instruments. Featuring 30 licensed tracks from today's hottest bands that can each be played in 5 different music genres (Rock, Country, Marching Band, Hip Hop and Ranchero) with 70 special weapons and attacks.

In each game, a song will be played in one genre for about 10 to 15 seconds and then another, flipping back and forth. Points are earned by beat-matching, and successive matches will automatically launch quirky weapons such as smoke bomb, land mine and flip out. The more points earned, the more the music will be played in the player's genre. The game can be played in versus mode, perfect for social and party game setting, or in adventure mode where player set out to battle bands of other genres one by one.

This game is Rubbish!! i played it for 5 mins and not touched it again since. Mind you that is because i used the disc as a frisbee outside in the car park. That was much more fun.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Great fun with your mates!

After reading that it was the Wii equivalent to 'Guitar Hero' I though, "Wow, lets give this a try!". But, as you can see from the previous reviews before mine, it's pathetically boring.
With only three moves:- Left, Right and Forward, I can't understand how the developers/producers of this game could have thought this game could be good.
And with an extremely poor selection of songs to accompany the game, just adds to the extreme downfall of what could have been a potentially good game.
Even at the faster or harder levels, my 9 year old niece could play it easily.

Don't buy, simple as. It's not even worth the £12.99 price nor the one star I gave it.
