Great Music, O.K. Game Play, Poor Price.
User Rating: 5 | Battle of the Bands WII
Battle of the Bands is one of those Wii games that sounds like a Good idea on paper, but when it becomes a real game you can see that the idea of the game play could use a little more work. The game has you play as one of 11 Bands that range from Rap, Rock, Funk, & Country music (sorry, but no Techno), your band then goes up against one of the other 10 bands playing each sides version of a classic hit song in their own way (like a Rap version of "Feel Good Inc." or a Country version of "Insane in the Brain"). The game play then plays out like in Guitar Hero & Rock Band (but with the Wii remote only) by hitting the right notes at the right time to unleash an attack on the other band, the band with the most points at the end of each round wins. While hearing your favorite music in Rap, Rock, Funk, & Country is cool, the game play can weir out your arm from all the Wii remote sakeing from each round, in fact the game itself even reminds you after every one or two rounds of game play to take a rest from playing it. It's a fare game with cool music, but I just don't see paying $49.99 just to listen to a Country version of "Brick House".
