Digital Chumps: Band Hero Review (Wii)

Digital Chumps writes: "As evidenced by the surprisingly acceptable sales performance of some of the recent knock-off music game ventures, there definitely exists a sizable niche of those who wish to play Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but who either disapprove of the off-color lyrical nature of some of the included tracks or, uh, just don't really like guitar or rock music. To date, however, we've yet to encounter even a single game of comparable quality to the industry leaders which caters to this growing segment of the market. Now, Activision seeks to break this trend with Band Hero, which embodies a big-budget migration of the wildly popular genre of videogames into the pop genre of music. (It might have been more accurate under the circumstances to label it Pop Hero, but perhaps that name isn't quite so catchy.)" 7.8/10
