Start up Band Hero and you can literally jump right into performing/playing before even choosing what to do. That's the goal – jump in and play, and Band Hero succeeds greatly in that regard.

It's hard to say where the heart of the game is, because games such as this really do lend themselves to a storied progressions (such as the Career Mode) as well as just bashing out a few quick songs with friends (Quickplay or online).
Tuesday Morning stores are now carrying the Band Hero big bundles, which include the game, guitar, mic and drum kit, for $29.99. Considering they were $159.99 four years ago, I'd say it's an interesting deal.
