  • Abstract:  It was sometime near the end of Battle of the Bands country-latin mashup of Tenacious Ds incredible song "Master Exploder" that I realized this game was brilliant. The fusing of two out of the games five very different musical genres into a bunch o...

  • Abstract:  On its surface, Planet Moon Studios' Battle of the Bands offers an experience that is as unique among its peers as it is hard to imagine. The idea of taking popular songs and re-imagining them in genres they were never meant to played in is an appeali...

  • Country, rock, hiphop, Latin, and marching band versions of popular songs, Music player lets you listen to the games soundtrack and switch genres on the fly.
  • Gameplay quickly becomes repetitive, Playing more than a few songs in a row can cause physical discomfort, Some may be offended by story modes stereotypes.
  • Battle of the Bands bizarre mashups are fun to listen to but not as much fun to play. ...

  • Abstract:  If youve ever spent time forwarding goofy things you found on the Internet to your friends, you probably remember the bluegrass version of Snoop Doggs "Gin and Juice" that was a staple of the file-sharing community in the late 90s. Hearing The Gourd...

  • Abstract:  When it was first announced (as Band Mash-ups), Battle of the Bands sounded like it would offer something fresh and new to the music game genre. The idea of playing new, wacky versions of popular songs sounds like a lot of fun, and would seem like a gr...

  • Abstract:  You have to hand it to Planet Moon Studios: instead of trying to compete directly with the insanely popular Rock Band and Guitar Hero franchises, they wisely chose to side-step the competition by offering up a rhythm game experience thats unique and d...

  • Abstract:  Battle of the Bands, from developer Planet Moon, is a good attempt at a music/rhythm game, but due to the repetition your wrists may be screaming by the end of the third song. The vertically scrolling "notes" – from bottom to top – indicat...

  • Abstract:  Dig, if you will, a picture: a marching band, led by a perky blonde baton twirler, facing off against an undead mariachi band in dueling versions of The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop." This is just one of the fine moments to be found in Planet Moon's goofy ...

  • Abstract:  out of 5 Battle of the Bands implores you to take a break after every song. It wasnt very long before I was very happy to heed the advice. This is a rhythm action game in the vein of Guitar Hero, but instead of hammering away on a plastic guitar you ...

  • Interesting take on the rhythm game genre, stylistic renditions of each song are awesome
  • Not as deep or as addictive as Rock Band or Guitar Hero, graphics and story are forgettable The Final Word It wont topple the "big two", but its fun—a good choice for casual or younger gamers.
