As the title hints, it's all about battling between the bands. No, the guitars won't be cracking a few skulls, but it heads down the route of the kind of guitar duels that populated the third Guitar Hero title.
It's a touch more in-depth of course, this being an entire game focused on such a subject. Prior to battling it out with a particular track you get to opportunity to choose your batch of "attacks" to unleash upon your competing band. These can range from smoke screens to block their board, through to making their notes so small they're virtually impossible to hit."
The good: Fun variations of classic tunes, hint of strategy with the weapons system
The bad: Not perfect Remote response, repetitive gameplay, aural flaws
