Jonas Allen reports:
''When THQ announced Battle of the Bands, the first thing that came to mind was a Wii-exclusive "me too" band game a la Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Yeah, yeah, it would use the Wii Remote rather than a peripheral ... whatever. Add on top of this unoriginality the confusing concept of "musical combat" and songs that dynamically changed genre in mid-level, and THQ was sure to have a stinker on its hands, right?
Not even close. Having now played and enjoyed Battle of the Bands, we now understand that THQ knew what it was doing the entire time. Yes, the game still has issues, one of which makes Battle of the Bands unplayable in some instances, but the core game is really quite fun, particularly with friends.''
