Battle of the Bands

Battle of the Bands, formerly called "Band Mashups," is a music/rhythm style game that pits two bands against each other in a duel of musical mastery. You will move you remote in a designated pattern that syncs with the music being played. The track list makes up thirty licensed tracks, with songs such as "Master Exploder" by Tenacious D and "Man of Constant Sorrow" by The Soggy Bottom Boys.

  • Review: Battle of the Bands
  • 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 that's unique and different. Although it won't make you want to give up your fake drums and guitars, Battle of the Bands is a charming title that's definitely worth "listening" to.
