On the surface, Battle of the Bands has potential, as it pits one music group against another in heated battles to see who performs better while engaging in heated battles. The Execution execution wise, however, the game falls flat. You follow a few beats on a specific track while occasionally blocking incoming attacks and launching your own. It gets bland over time and it's not nearly as interactive as other music/rhythm games. Some of the tune remixes are hilarious (hearing "Blitzkrieg Bop" as a country song) and the versus mode is okay, but the game needed morefeels more like an opening act than a big name Rock Band.

Game Score: 5 out of 10
