Band Hero just continues the downward spiral caused by World Tour, it is the pinnacle of the one thing that i believe was primarily responsible for the death of "Hero" games in general, lack of vision.

Band Hero is another game that doesn't know what it wants to be, a title that exists exclusively to chase trends as a pale imitation of Rock Band. The songs aren't made with all four instruments in mind, least of all guitar, so playing most of the songs with anything but vocals just leads you to repeating the same notes over and over, if you have any notes at all. I only got the chance to guitar and bass but i wasn't exactly left wanting more. This games failures are almost entirely due to the track listing, but it would still be a pretty uninspired game otherwise.

What's funny about this is that Activision cancelled the actual "Sing Hero", but this game is pretty much made to be a purely singing game, and thus should have been called Sing Hero. This was the only one of these games where i actually went through the trouble of plugging in a mic just to sing "Lips of An Angel".

Band Hero doesn't really have much of a reason to exist, unless you REALLY like the soundtrack you're better off playing Rock Band for basically any of it's vastly improved features.
