This game is awesome because you can make all the performing characters Adam Levine at the same time

Couldn't get this one to sync properly, like it had something out for my rock band wii instruments. I wasn't too stoked about the setlist either, only my sister was, so I quickly let it go.

That gummy silicone “drum kit” skin that was made to fit over the Nintendo DS was the peak of gaming accessory design.

Bought this from McKay's recently, guitar hero's foray into pop music, and I will never forget Taylor Swift screaming "theres nothing inside" from Evanescene's "Bring me to life"


too short and the song collection is mediocre

Hey gamers


I'll be posting reviews of the Guitar Hero / Rock Band games I've played recently. I'll kick it off with my least favourite of the PS3 era: Band Hero.


There's nothing that this game does that's offensively terrible; well, maybe apart from the bizarre lyric censoring, but it's just the most generic game in the series for me. The game is focused on a more pop-centric setlist, and this is a move I'm not a fan of at all. Besides that, and besides the celebrity appearances, there's nothing that sets Band Hero apart from the rest of the series, especially GH5.


The setlist is really the only thing worth talking about here. Since it's a pop setlist, I find that the overwhelming majority of these songs fall into two categories. The first are songs that are boring to play. Many of these tracks follow the generic pop song structure and/or are one-and-done FCs at my skill level. As a result, they just blend together and left little to no impact on me. The second are songs that have no business being in a Guitar Hero game, whether I like them on their own or not. I don't know who made these selections, but Band Hero has tracks like Wannabe - Spice Girls, Rock Star - N.E.R.D., Happy Together - The Turtles, Y.M.C.A. - Village People, I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye, American Pie - Don McLean, etc. These songs feel like they don't belong in this type of rhythm game and have strange charts to play.


I'm not a fan of this game. I'll pop it in my PS3 every so often to play the handful of fun songs, but the style of the setlist and the lack of change/innovation on any of the rest of its systems make Band Hero one of the worst in the series for me.


Favourite songs:

- Black Cat - Janet Jackson
- Fascination - Alphabeat
- I Want You to Want Me (Live) - Cheap Trick
- If You Could Only See - Tonic
- Kids - Robbie Williams & Kylie Minogue
- Love Is a Battlefield - Pat Benatar
- Naïve - The Kooks
- Take a Picture - Filter
- You Belong with Me - Taylor Swift

Goofiest track selection in history

I 5 starred the vocals on 'Let's get it started' by the black eyed peas so yeah, I guess you could say I'm a rapper

tem a melhor engine do jogo (do gh5) mas que porra é essakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Played this with 2 of my friends when I was a kid and we didn't care about the soundtrack, because we were able to play Mr Roboto by Styx in a video game with a fucking GUITAR, DRUMSET, AND MICROPHONE!! There was also a 4-player gamemode where you could connect 2 DS's to the wii and have the 2 wii players compete for score in a song, while the DS players would be each player's roadie and sabotage/help the wii players by setting their fretboard on fire, or making the notes turn invisible, or reversing their left and rights, and stuff like that.
