Our family had a blast and really enjoy playing this game on Christmas. I am soooo glad we got it. It is so funny to see people lining up over which instrument they want to play. Didn't realize that I liked the drums until I started playing them in this game. One of the best gifts under the tree, and it brings us closer together. Priceless.

First off, I would like to point out that the game is completely fun and addictive. There are a lot of oldies and new songs to make the game fun for all ages, while the cgi is fantastic! However, I do have complaints on the system. Turns out that getting the wireless guitar to work is hard, most of the time. My niece gave up and finally used her old wired guitar just to play. What's worse is the wires for the drum set were sticky and peeled off. Thankfully it was a second coating, so there were no exposed wires. She plays her system and enjoys the game, but I would have been more pleased, if the wiring and connections were better.

WARNING!!! The drums and microphone do not work with other guitar hero games. You have to use rock band. Do not make that mistake for your own sanity's sake.

This review is from: PS2 Band Hero Super Bundle (Video Game)

I bought this for my tween daughters after they played Guitar Hero on a friend's Wii. They liked the song list on Band Hero, so we went with the Band Hero Bundle for PS2. We got it for Christmas, and it was almost unplayable because of the way the PS2 loads the songs. We suggested that our kids get a song loaded up, and then do some homework while they waited for it to download. We're talking at least 3-6 minutes to load a song. Once the song loaded, it was a blast. We decided to return it, and take the 50% refund you get from Amazon. It was that painful. Band Hero itself is great -- just not for the PS2 platform.
