This review is from: Xbox 360 Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle (Video Game)

My daughter has been having lots of fun with Band Hero & rated it as a four star game. Once she calibrated the game to our TV, she had more fun with it. She likes the music a lot better than the music that came with her Guitar Hero game. Being a Taylor Swift fan, she says even though there's only 3 Taylor Swift songs included, it's better than none. Another feature she has fun with, is customizing her band.

Speaking from a parent's point of view, the wireless guitar, wired microphone and drums have a nice weight to them, are nicely constructed, & not flimsy. I expect them to last with normal usage. The weight of the drum pedal, along with the non-skid material on the bottom, prevent the pedal from moving around the floor. She hasn't had any problems with the cymbals moving out of position & sits on an ottoman when she plays the drums. I'd like to see a microphone stand included so she could sing and play an instrument at the same time.

This is a fun game even for small kids. The easy to hard levels makes it great for any age and you don't have to actually turn all the instruments on for the game to work. (We leave the guitar off while the 3 year old plays but he thinks he's playing) For those less musical, the easy level really is easy. I just wish you could up load more songs or they had songs the younger kids would know. But we still like it.

This review is from: Xbox 360 Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle (Video Game)

Bought band hero for kid for Christmas. Received a faulty drum set and faulty kick pedal with the rubber falling off the cords and sticking in my carpet. Great. Sent in for warranty repair, waited too long to receive them back, then get some oddball pedal and a drum set with not only the rubber falling off the cords again but a set for the wrong game system. This is what you get when you buy Activision for your kids. Big mistake.
