    No, this isn't Guitar Hero or the best game in the world. But it's just plain fun and I've enjoyed it immensely.

    This game has been dogged and everyone says it sucks. Granted it isn't Guitar Hero or Rock Band, nor is it the best game in the world and without flaws. But it wasn't meant to be like those other games, and its flaws do ... Read Full Review

    With the Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises completely dominating America's rhythm game market, it's tough for a newcomer to stake its own niche in this genre. It has got to be refreshing and different enough to really... Read Full Review

    Not that bad, but not that great either.

    By ninjamaster62 | Review Date: May 06, 2008 | WII

    I was anxious to play this game, because the idea sounded really cool to me. When I got it and sat down to play it, I had mixed reactions. The idea is awesome: have a bunch of popular songs redone in a few different genr... Read Full Review

    Great Music, O.K. Game Play, Poor Price.

    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 o... Read Full Review
