Band Hero- Stefani Storm?

Guitar Hero, Lips, Rockband, DJ Hero, DDR, and now Band Hero. With the onslaught of new music/rhythm games will there be anything different than the last game that was put out earlier that month? and WHY are Gwen Stefani and Courtney Love mad?Gameplay
Like most music/rhythm games, you select an instrument you want to play, then the song, the the difficulty. Colored buttons drop down to the bottom of the screen to a bar. You job is to press the correct button on your instrument-shaped controller.
Some of the features of this game include singalongs, creating your own song, challenges like they had in gh5, avatar support, and “secret note” achievements. These are gotten by playing a song based on the clue given on the achievement page. I.e. _ _ ll _ _ _ _ _ _ _ l _ you would get one for singing YMCA by the Village People.

Sound/Graphics
a wife variety of songs fill the setlist. Everything from the 70s to today, from the Village People and the Rolling Stones to Finger Eleven and Taylor Swift. Songs like bring me to life, walking on sunshine, impression, and ABC. Some of them are good songs but personally i would hate to play others. The songs are edited to an E10+ rating, taking out words with swearing, drinking, and the like. If you aren’t doing vocals you really don’t have to about them, as you don’t do any singing except for sing-alongs. The graphics are stunning like most games of the genre. They are filled with vibrant colors to entice everyone of all ages to play. During Star Power, when you activate it, you see a bunch of stars come across the screen. If there is a challenge to Nail the Intro or Outro, it will have like a lighted highway, kind of like a theater-type walkway to it.

Pros:

• Fun for all ages
• Well Known Songs

Cons:

• Weak Storyline (doesn’t really matter)
• Songs Get TOUGH even on lower difficulties
• ]Edited Lyrics
• Singers complaining about Licenses

Overall
Band Hero is just another Music/rhythm game. Though family-friendly. It brings hours of fun to your console.

Score: 8.5/10

P.S. I listed the last Con because I felt that some people do not really deserve to complain about the license to use their image in a music game, what Courtney (via the late Kurt Cobain) and Gwen are complaining is that they are unlockable characters in the game, and not locked to songs such as Smells like Teen Spirit in GH5, and Don’t Speak from Band Hero.
