    There’s not really much to Battle of the Bands. Being able only to go through Adventure Mode, multiplayer mode, or hear the music and each style in a jukebox mode, the game feels pretty thin. Without any unlockables or the like, it doesn’t really have any replay value either, which is unfortunate. The addition of weapons adds to the whole ‘battle’ aspect, but they’re just not enough. There are better rhythm games out there, and without any real meat to it,... Read more

    Battle of the Bands seems more like a WiiWare title than a full-fledged purchase, and for $39.99 I expect more. It can be fully completed in a matter of hours. The covers of some really great songs are chopped to pieces and thrown out the window. What's more, you can't even unlock any new aspects that might make this game a good reason to turn on your Wii. Unless you have friends or family members who want to get in on the music and rhythm game action genre without... Read more

    Unfortunately, good grades aren’t handed out for what you could’ve accomplished. When the dust has cleared, and there’s one game that reigns supreme in the rock’n’roll rhythm genre, it’s not going to be this one. But maybe it can at least take home an honorable mention for trying to think outside the box. Read more

    In single player mode you play through a series of matches against each of the other bands in the game.  This mode is fun the first few times that you play through it and get the chance to try out a few of the bands.  However, there's not enough variety to the gameplay to keep you interested in the long run.  It just doesn't have that Guitar Hero 'hook' to it, probably because you are swinging the controller in response to DDR style prompts rather than actually...
