Band Hero DS

[Fallen124Angel]

If you don't fancy the Guitar Hero games and are more of a drummer kind of guy (or gal) Band Hero is for you. here's why.

Band Hero will feature a full band. You'll be able to play guitar and bass using the Guitar Grip, sing into the DS microphone and play drums using the new Drum Grip.

The Drum Grip consists of two pads which fit over the d-pad and the buttons on the face of the DS. You'll have to tap them to play along with 30 songs by the likes of Blink-182, Avril Lavigne, The Killers, KT Tunstall, and Fall Out Boy.

I'll be getting this.

The drum grip looks pretty strange, and dodgey, but I'm willing to give it a try. How will that thing attatch to your DS anyhow?

EDIT: The drum would be better if you just had 2 styluses, shape dlike drum sticks, and hit the touch screen...

How does this sell?

I'd get zero enjoyment out of pretending to play drums or guitar with something which in no way resembles their musical counterpart. At least on the consoles you can actually pretend to be Ginger baker!
