Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift

I bought Band Hero for Xbox 360 to add to my collection of rhythm games, alongside my other Guitar Hero titles. What sets Band Hero apart is its more kid-friendly, family-oriented setlist that focuses on pop hits rather than the usual rock-heavy tracks you find in other games like Guitar Hero. If you’re looking for a game with songs everyone can enjoy, from younger kids to adults, this is a great option.The game works seamlessly with my old guitar controllers that I still use on my Xbox 360. It’s a solid choice if you’re like me and still hanging on to your old consoles and peripherals. Band Hero feels like a must-have if you want a more diverse song selection, especially for casual or family-friendly gaming sessions. It’s also fun for parties, with a nice variety of pop hits from artists like Taylor Swift and No Doubt.Even though it's a bit dated now, it’s still a lot of fun to dust off the guitar controllers and play through these tracks. If you’re a fan of the Guitar Hero franchise or just want something to play with family, Band Hero is a great addition to your collection.Pros:Kid-friendly, pop-focused song list that’s great for family playWorks perfectly with older Xbox 360 guitar controllersFun for parties and casual playCons:Limited to older consoles, so only useful if you still have an Xbox 360 setupOverall, Band Hero is a great addition if you still enjoy playing these rhythm games on the older consoles. Definitely worth picking up if you want more variety in your music library.

I never understood the hate for Band hero. It was a great and experimental way to branch out and reach a wider audience but I distinctly remember the hate it got for having too much pop.... despite this being the point for this particular game. It features a ton of great songs and I feel like they all would still fit Rock Band/Guitar Hero in some way. It's just an overall fun party game that I remember playing with my friends when it first came out. I really wish Band Hero got a chance to go on. It could've gotten a sequel the following year before or after Guitar Hero 6. Of course 6 would be the last GH game.. for now.. but Band Hero 2 would've been epic.So now let's talk about the game. Structurally, it plays the same as Guitar Hero 5. The graphics are also the same as Guitar hero 5 which makes sense as this game came out 2 months after it. However, the overall look and graphics of the game seem slightly better, more polished. Same with the audio, it features the same surround sound option that was introduced in Guitar Hero 4 I believe, but it sounds better than 5 and a whole lot better than earlier games like 3 (sorry 3). Story wise... there's not much to say. It just seemed too hard to top the story of GH 3 that less focus was put on story mode to the point where it's nonexistent in games past 3. I missed the simple but effective cutscenes in GH3 for all the future games.. but that was okay. Band Hero still had a great amount of music, replayability, characters, and customization. The customization is ridiculous for how great it is, I easily could've been there for hours.

This "guitar hero" family disk is so fun and is my fave of them all. There is a song for everyone on this one! I got it for Christmas and cannot wait to unlock all the songs!

I got the Xbox360 RockBand 2 for my son for christmas because I love music and its something we can all join in on. Well the music that came with it wasn't all that hot. So I looked around. Then I saw a commercial on Taylor Swift's Band Hero. I purchased it and it's GREAT!! We all know the songs! They aren't heavy metal or punk, like RockBand. And they work great with the instruments that came with RockBand 2. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS SOFTWARE! Everyone from my kids up to my parents enjoy joining in!

After playing this game with some friends I decided I wanted a copy of my own. I found the game at an H.E.B. plus for $20, but didn't have the money for it at the time. I decided to see if the price was cheaper through amazon, to my surprise it was! This game is a great buy. I really enjoy the music as I grew up listening to many of these bands. If you like bands like Hilary Duff, Garbage, and No Doubt this game is for you.
