Band Hero

A more youth-friendly version of the hit Guitar Hero series, Band Hero for Xbox 360 by Activision will include top-40 acts as well as more pop music in the track lineup. The game will still include the same instrument setup as Guitar Hero: World Tour, as players can pick between playing the guitar, bass, drums, or vocals. Band Hero features the chart-topping hits from acts including Taylor Swift, No Doubt, Lily Allen, The All-American Rejects and Jackson 5.
