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. Full band instruments are included from the beginning of the series.
The story revolves around your character's rise to fame in the music industry. You have to sing along in time to the music, matching the pitch as closely as possible, and play lead or bass guitar, or drums in rhythm with the music.
Gameplay involves playing songs from popular artists like Duran Duran, Don McLean, Evanescence, and Queen, while competing against other players and bands online or with friends on the same console. You can choose to play alone on any of the instrument careers or team up with up to three friends to score points.
Band Hero is available for the Wii console and features a fun and energetic soundtrack, making it an exciting addition to any music gaming collection.
