We had a chance to review Battle of the Bands for Wii, which mixes a little bit of Guitar Hero with some Dance Dance Revolution with a whole lot of wackiness through the Wiimote. Basically the premise of the game is to duel it out between bands of different themes and genres. There are five genres to choose from: Rock, Hip Hop, Latin, Marching, and Country. The true charm of the game is hearing the different musical versions of songs not meant to be in that particular genre, for example the Mariachi version of Feel Good Inc. or the Hip-Hop version of Blitzkrieg Bop. It’s definitely a fun party game, which is hat the Wii is all about. See complete track list after the break. $43. Read more
