I bought the Wii version of Band Hero for my niece and nephew. I have it myself on PS2. It is a fun game, plays much like most Guitar Hero games. I like that it is not too hard for beginners, but I still found it challenging on the harder settings. In this game, you can play as Taylor Swift, Adam Levine and others once you unlock the characters by playing their songs. There are many pop and teen songs on this version, which is why I bought it for an 8 and 12 year old. As an adult, I found it annoying that any even remotely questionable word in the lyrics is cut out, it is especially annoying when trying to sing. This game is great for kids and teens, and fun for adults as well, but if you are looking for a game with more alternative music and uncensored lyrics, I would recommend Guitar Hero World Tour or GH5.Read full review
I’m glad this game worked. Graphics aren’t great because it’s an older model and I have a fairly new smart TV that’s kind of big so the picture isn’t full but is still fun to play and no working issues.

I bought Band Hero to be able to import Guitar Hero 5 & GH Smash Hits into it. For the Wii, Band Hero allows us to do this like other platform users. BH lets more people sing vocals and has Harmonies like Beatles and Green Day Rock Band. I started out with Rock Band 2 and prefer the RB2 instruments and the way the notes are done on RB2. Unfortunately on the Wii RB products do not allow importing of music from other games just DLC. Band Hero lets you import and also lets you buy track packs which is something else you can't do with Rock Band on the Wii. I'm hoping with Rock Band 3 that Wii users will be able to do the things that Band Hero lets you do.
I love how you don't have to have the whole Band Hero kit to play the game. We eventually will, but for now just have Guitar Hero, so hence, one guitar. My friend gave me a microphone, so you can play with just one or two people if that is what you want, too. I can practice singing by myself if I want. If you have 4 guitars, use them! If you have 4 mics, go for it! If you only have a drum kit, that's ok too. Don't let the name fool you - you can use any combination of mics, guitars, or drums. This has a great set list, and it's easy to unlock songs. Have fun!
I've always been good with music games and so far I am pleased with this game. Graphics are good, but compared to the other guitar hero games, it's a lil bit more Pop orientated, which does bother me. Gameplay is still the same so I'm happy with that, although i would've been nice if they had left the kick drum marker be purple... throws me off... Selection of music is good, wish they had more rock music thou. So overall, the game is good, but it could be better.
I bought this game with the guitar and microphone for my Taylor Swift lovin' daughter (age 5) because she loves, loves, loves to sing along with Taylor. The guitar is a bit hard for her to manage at this point, but she likes me to play it while she sings. You can use the Wii remote and nunchuck as drums, but we haven't tried that yet. I'm new to the whole Rock Band genre (my older kids like adventure and sports games) but I'm sold! There are numerous options we haven't even tried yet and playing along with some of my fave pop songs is a great stress reliever.
Definitely easier to play for younger kids than the original Guitar Hero because of the new party mode. The mainstream pop songs are more age appropriate for younger kids too. Tried the DS play but limited to just playlist control unless you also purchase GH for DS. Also good feature now is you can use any combination of instruments, so not limited to one type per player. We got 4 guitars together and it works fine.
Game perfect! plays well, shipped fast

such a fun game, great songs! Love it! It is as easy to use as the other games, but the songs are so much better, and the have songs for all ages, and genres. Excellent!
AWESOME!! great contemporary music for teenagers. My child can relate and identify with the music. Sometimes we buy him what we like and not what he likes. Nintendo should make a new one every year for each new musician that Wii creates.
