    Battle of The Bands WII

    Battle of the Bands is a different take on the music rhythm game genre that is full of guitar hero's and sing stars.  With that said the game may be interesting to you at first but after you start the second song the game will become very boring.  The formula used in the gameplay is good, but honestly how fun can moving the WII remote left, right, and down be.  The answer is that it cannot be much fun at all.

    The concept behind Battle of The Bands was what I expressed earlier.  The player moves the WII remote in a certain way to the beat of the music.  The notes scroll up rather than down like most music games.  There are also not a lot of notes even on the hard difficulty, and this game was definitely made with the casual gamer in mind.      There are 30 songs in the game, which exceeded my expectations, but the choice of songs is horrible.  You start the game by picking one of the handful of bands in the game.  Each band has a different style, and there are rock bands, marching bands, rap groups, classical groups, and funk bands.  These different playable styles are the highlights of the game.  The game progress through the songs from there in a linear fashion and the game will only last about 4 hours.  

    Besides bad gameplay the game also has bad graphics.  That is expected at this point for wii shovelware so im not going to mark the game down for that.

    Im glad I rented this instead of buying it, and I cannot recommend it to anyone.
