Customers enjoy the song selection. They find it fun to play along with pop and newer songs, as well as some good oldies. The game offers a variety of songs that are available immediately without unlocking parts of the game. It's a great way to sing along with some pop songs if you never learned to play. There is a song for everyone on this one, and you can add the songs to your existing Guitar Hero library. It's great for a karaoke substitute, but it also pails to rock band.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2023Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: StandardVerified PurchaseI 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2024Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: StandardVerified PurchaseI 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 play
Works perfectly with older Xbox 360 guitar controllers
Fun for parties and casual play
Cons:
Limited to older consoles, so only useful if you still have an Xbox 360 setup
Overall, 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: StandardVerified PurchaseUsing the Microphone that came with the Glee3 bundle. The Glee3 game is not good, but this one is excellent.
Great songs. The lyrics are presented in a easy to read format. The Glee3 game scrolls like a hyper ticker tape read out and trying to follow it can give you a headache.
I think you can use guitars, drums and other compatible instruments with this, but I only wanted to sing along with the microphone. Excellent!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2014Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: StandardVerified PurchaseAfter 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gran juego y eficiente servicio de entrega
Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: StandardVerified PurchaseUn gran juego para pasarlo bien con amigos y familia
Especial para los que gustan de la saga Guitar Hero, solo que este título se enfoca más en el Pop, pero también cuenta con algunas canciones de Rock
Puede ser jugado con guitarra, batería y micrófono
Por cierto, muy eficiente el servicio de entrega, fue entregado nuevo y en buenas condiciones, y a tiempo.

5.0 out of 5 stars We love the songs
Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: StandardVerified PurchaseI recommend checking the track listing to make sure that these songs are the ones that you want; good advice for any music game really but specifically required for this game. Why? The songs on this are less "uber guitar" and more pop friendly. I find that my teenagers play this game when their friends are over more than the rock bands just because their friends agree more on the music in this game than some of the older "guitar classics" found in other games in the rock band/guitar hero genre. All of my wired and wireless Rock Band and Guitar Hero instruments worked with this game.
