The much anticipated Band Hero was released earlier this month and the track list delivered on almost all levels. Fans of pop, rock, and alternative rock will sure to be pleased with all of the selections they have to make, but metal heads and hip hop connoisseurs will surely be disappointed. It was a conscious decision on Activision’s part to make the track list a bit more family friendly to get adults to pick up a controller. The game play is still as excellent as ever, but the song selection isn’t nowhere near as varied as previous iterations. The physical controllers have been further optimized and include all the features present in previous games, as well as aesthetic improvements. Basically, if you enjoyed all the previous Guitar Hero’s, you’ll like this one too. Nothing new here, but if it isn’t broke don’t fix it! Check out the full track list below.
