3.0 out of 5 stars Drum is NOT THE DRUM on the product photo, December 12, 2009

This review is from: PS3 Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle (Video Game)

This product photo reveals the drum with fullcircle cymbals..and that was the reason why I bought the kit in the first place..wanting to own the new designed drum! However, what I received was the ordinary 1/3 circle cymbal..the usual stuff and not at all what is shown here. Amazingly the original bundle box also shows the regular drum. SO WHY IN THE WORLD ARE THEY ADVERTISING THIS DRUM WITH THIS PRODUCT? I DO NOT KNOW..I AM DISAPPOINTED. VERY MUCH.

I do not understand why they have a picture of the new drums while they are continuing to sell the drums with world tour. Even after asking them, they assured me the newest band hero,like the one Walmart with the new drums. I am returning this one and going to Walmart where the price is the same but I get what I want and what I paid for.

This review is from: PS3 Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle (Video Game)

Personally, for the PS3 version, currently, it is not a good deal.

The instruments on the PS3 version (new drum set are due sometime in the future) are the same as GH:World Tour Kit.

GH:WT Bundle Is going about for 99$ or so, the standalone game "Band Hero" is ave 50-60$ right now. (11/28/2009)

So, at max price, $160, if you buy both seperately, you can get TWO games instead of just one for the Band Hero Kit priced at 149.99.

As for the game itself, it is fun. It's not metallica, or slipknot type of music. The target audience is teens/tweens/pop culture. It serves it's purpose.

If you like pop music, annd if you like guitar hero, this will be fun. It's not the best in terms of packages/presentation, but it will provide hours of entertainment.
