I reviewed an article on Activision Blizzard. Activision Blizzard is coming out with a new game that is supposed to be released this fall called Band Hero which will be on the platforms; Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo DS Lite. The game features a lot of number 1 hits from a lot of different bands. In Band Hero you are able to mix and match the way you play with either; four singers. guitarists, bassists, and drummers. You can also sing together in the new karaoke-style sing-along mode. The game also lets you import songs from; Guitar Hero 5, Guitar Hero Smash Hits, and Guitar Hero World Tour. The first week that Band Hero is on the shelves, Activision is planning to have 69 songs available for the Wii, Xbox 360, and the PS3. The platforms will all have a different amount of gamerscore points or money that they will have to pay to get the songs. You can also import some songs from Band Hero to Guitar Hero 5 for a certain price depending on the platform. You can also play previously purchased songs for the Guitar Hero franchise on Band Hero, for up to 300 tracks. Some of the many songs for the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3 versions of the game are; The All American Rejects-"Dirty Little Secret", Big Country-"In a Big Country", Carl Douglas-" Kung Fu Fighting", Dashboard Confessional-"Hands Down", Evanescence-"Bring Me To Life", Fall Out Boy-"Sugar, We're Goin' Down", Finger Eleven-"Paralyzer", Hinder-"Lips Of An Angel", Maroon 5-"She Will Be Loved", Papa Roach-"Lifeline", Poison-"Every Rose Has Its Thorn", Taylor Swift-"Love Story", and there are many more. Some of the songs for the DS Lite version are; The All American Rejects-"Believe", Black Eyed Peas-"Lets Get It Started", Evanescence-"Call Me When You're Sober", Fall Out Boy-"Thnks Fr Th Mmrs", Queen-"Crazy Little Thing Called Love", Weezer-"Troublemaker", and more.

I don't think that this is a good move for Activision Blizzard. There are so many video games in this genre that it will become over crowded pretty soon. I think this game will most likely fail becasue of the popularity level that Guiar Hero and Rock Band are already at. It sounds like the game doesn't really offer anything special to make people want to buy it. This will be a big loss for the company.
ReplyDeleteI think that this could be a good move for Activision Blizzard. The reason for that is because Band Hero might be the best video game in its genre. It could open a new level of
ReplyDeletepopularity for Activision Blizzard games. It could also have a bad turnover because Guitar Hero and Rock Band already dominate the market. So it could be a big loss or gain for Activision Blizzard.
