Gorgeous
Customizable display with simple
Intuitive onscreen navigation. One of the few fitness trackers equipped with GPS. Guided workout feature is incredibly useful for those looking to get in shape with structured routines
The editors didn't like
The simple gameplay quickly grows boring
It never feels like youre actually controlling the music.
Gameplay quickly becomes repetitive
Playing more than a few songs in a row can cause physical discomfort
Some may be offended by story modes stereotypes.
Not waterproof. Heftier than similarly specced fitness trackers. No cycling specific tracking (yet). Seems like a lot of smart features (“actionable insights”) are yet to come
Abstract: There were plenty of good rhythm games released in the years prior to the arrival of genre juggernauts Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but it seems they've all been eclipsed by the runaway popularity of the fake instrument peripheral craze. As the new kid on t...

Abstract: Battle of the Bands has a good idea, but fails on almost every account to deliver. From the washed out, block graphics to the shoddy, unresponsive gameplay, there is really nothing to recommend a purchase here. While the different versions of popular ...
Abstract: Anyone here ever heard the version of Snoop Doggs Gin and Juice, as performed by Vemontian folk rockers Phish? Or maybe Bill Baileys renditions of a Metallica medley in the style of a barn dance? Perry Como singing Smells like Teen Spirit? No? We...
Abstract: I love music and games like Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero, where you have to tap a button that matches the button displayed on the screen, those games help you stay alert and in my opinion improve your reflexes. Now there’s Battle of the Ba...
Battle of the Bands has a fantastic concept that is lost in some overly simplistic gameplay that just fails to grab the gamer and keep them interested for any length of time. You never feel like you are actually “playing” an instrument, partly...
Abstract: It'd be easy to just take a glance at Wii's Battle of the Bands title and see a simple Guitar Hero / Rock Band clone. Obviously the game owes it's existence to the popularity of those titles, but Battle of the Bands manages to do a pretty good job in s...

Given the popularity of the Guitar Heroes and Rock Bands of the world, game companies need to be a little creative in order to make a new music game stand out from the crowd. THQ has come up with a clever gimmick for its new Wii-exclusive title, Battle...
Abstract: del.icio.us | Digg This | Glink It Once known as Band Mashups, THQ’s Battle of the Bands had a nice idea. Unfortunately the execution comes out a little on the rough side and that is ultimately the game’s failing. And if, for whatever reason, your s...
Abstract: Not every idea that looks good on paper actually works as well as anticipated once implemented. Just as Edna Morris. "Who?" you ask, "is Edna Morris?" Edna is the person that looked at the success other restaurants were having with the all-you-can-eat ...
