Band Hero is a karaoke/rhythm based game, similar to the Guitar Hero games, but directed at the pop loving teenage crowd, as well as a more group based party game (unlike with guitar hero, full band instruments are included from the beginning of the series).
The story revolves around you forming your own band and competing against other bands in a singing competition. The gameplay involves matching notes on screen to score points for vocals, lead or bass guitar, and drums.
Gameplay-wise, you can play alone on any instrument career, or with up to three friends online to compete with other players and bands from around the world.
Songs featured in the game include Duran Duran's Rio , Don McLean's American Pie , Evanescence's Bring Me To Life and Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love .
Band Hero was released on the Wii console in 2009.
