Attention Rhythm gamers: all DLC for Guitar Hero, DJ Hero, and Band Hero games will be vanishing from the online markets by the end of this month. Grab your favorite songs before they are gone for good!
We've had quite a bit of fun at Band Hero's expense here at Co-Optimus. Is it a carbon copy clone of Guitar Hero, just another attempt by Activision to flood the game shelves? Or is it a kid-friendly, Top 40 music game that holds its own compared to other games in the genre?
From the darkest depths of the internet, we bring you this startling insight into the minds of today's youth.
A truly titanic tussle of tremendous talents hits your favorite console today. LEGO Rock Band in one corner, Band Hero in the other. Plastic David Bowie versus sparkly Taylor Swift; who will prevail? Not your wallet, which is likely still empty after Guitar Hero 5 and The Beatles Rock Band. Though both games are intended for the younger set, there's still plenty of good songs for all to enjoy on your well-worn fake instruments today. Remember to purchase through Amazon using the links below to help support Co-Optimus!
Quite a bit of Band Hero news for you today. We've been curious about whether Band Hero songs would be importable to Guitar Hero 5. Turns out 61 out of 65 of them are, for a fee of $5. Songs from World Tour, Smash Hits, and Guitar Hero 5 will be importable into Band Hero, as well. Confusing? Yes, but at least the feature is being offered.
We've just recieved word of the latest songs revealed for tween friendly music game Band Hero. The big focus of Band Hero seems to be young Taylor Swift, featuring her in three different songs as well as an in-game avatar. If you were looking to "rock out" to You Belong With Me, Picture to Burn, and Love Story, you'll get the chance on November 3.
Like Guitar Hero 5, the more pop-ish Band Hero will offer drop-in and drop-out cooperative play for any instrument while in the middle of a song. Hopefully this becomes a staple feature in all music and rhythm games moving forward, I'm looking at you Rock Band franchise!
"So.. like.. we just got this press release, y'know, and like... it just about BLEW our MINDS! Like, totally. Taylor Swift is going to be in Band Hero, and I think I'm like.. gonna faint! I was all OMG I gotta txt all my friends about it! Like, awesome. She's so awesome I gotta get daddy to buy me this game! And maybe one of those... Wii things, or something? Check out the web site it's SO PRETTY oh wow... like... I wish I had her hair, y'know?"
It's like deja vu all over again. Band Hero has been announced for the Nintendo DS via press release. Wait a minute, you say. The DS has a microphone built in, and the Guitar Grip has been out for a while now. How are folks supposed to play the drums? There's a miniaturized and likely finger cramping attachment coming that will allow just that. The aptly named Drum Grip (which you don't really... you know, grip) will let you pretend to play the larger pretend drums you have back home, while you're on the go!
In what can only be described as an inexplicable twist, it appears that the controversial art style of Diablo 3 has been copied for upcoming music game Band Hero. Rainbows, pastels, and even a healthy dose of pink hues adorn the official Band Hero site. We've got a few initial reactions from fans of the music game genre.
