Band Hero - Wii-DS Connectivity Features

[Adr990 2]

IGN shares the connectivity features that grace Band Hero for Wii & DS.

The clouds of another review season parted last week and a metaphorical ray of light shined down – it was Band Hero and it was packing Taylor Swift songs. If you're not familiar with this title, it's basically Guitar Hero 5 with Top 40 hits. Gone is the metal/rock vibe and in its place are songs by the All-American Rejects, Devo, and Styx.

Activision is aiming its drum/microphone/guitar setup at folks like your girlfriend, your sister, and me; people who are intimidated by "real" music and love to belt out tracks by Pat Benatar and Evanescence.

How could they do this?! Guitar Hero-type things are about blasting out insane solos and relishing in the heavy-metal vibe, not LILY ALLEN. Seriously, Lily Allen is the worst thing that has ever happened to music.
