PS3 Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle Review

Customer Ratings:

This product photo reveals the drum with fullcircle cymbals..and that was the reason why I bought the kit in the first place..wanting to own the new designed drum! However, what I received was the ordinary 1/3 circle cymbal..the usual stuff and not at all what is shown here. Amazingly the original bundle box also shows the regular drum. SO WHY IN THE WORLD ARE THEY ADVERTISING THIS DRUM WITH THIS PRODUCT? I DO NOT KNOW..I AM DISAPPOINTED. VERY MUCH.

I do not understand why they have a picture of the new drums while they are continuing to sell the drums with world tour. Even after asking them, they assured me the newest band hero,like the one Walmart with the new drums. I am returning this one and going to Walmart where the price is the same but I get what I want and what I paid for.

Best Deals for PS3 Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle

We opened the box on December 21, 2010 and noticed that this game was released in the fall of 2009. That wasn't a problem, but made us question why the product sat on a shelf for a year. When we unpacked the drum pedal we noticed an oily substance on the pedal, something like grease or vaseline. Then we noticed the wire coating flaking off the wire that connects to the drum pedal. When we examined it further we noticed that the entire length of wire was exposed because the coating looked like it had dry rotted. We called Activision immediately and were told that an RMA # would be emailed to us with 2 hours with a return airbill for a warranty replacement of the foot pedal. We started researching the unit and found that there were many complaints about the "greasy" foot pedal and "dry rotted" wire coating. Two days later we finally recieved the airbill and RMA #. We returned the pedal via UPS January 7, 2011 (we were out of town for 2 weeks during the holiday). Called and verified pedal was received and was told the replacement would ship in 2 weeks. Called again January 29th and was told 6 to 8 weeks for replacement. Calling Activision is more painful than going to the dentist sorry dentists. Half the time they can't find your info in the system or they tell you to check online but Activision's warranty tracking website is down and is being replaced. I should have returned the game to the store. We still haven't been able to play it and it may be until March 2011 before we do. The warranty is only good for 6 months. I asked Activision why a recall wasn't issued, but of course, no one could answer the question.

Honest reviews on PS3 Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle

Personally, for the PS3 version, currently, it is not a good deal.

The instruments on the PS3 version (new drum set are due sometime in the future) are the same as GH:World Tour Kit.

GH:WT Bundle Is going about for 99$ or so, the standalone game "Band Hero" is ave 50-60$ right now. (11/28/2009)

So, at max price, $160, if you buy both seperately, you can get TWO games instead of just one for the Band Hero Kit priced at 149.99.

As for the game itself, it is fun. It's not metallica, or slipknot type of music. The target audience is teens/tweens/pop culture. It serves it's purpose.

If you like pop music, annd if you like guitar hero, this will be fun. It's not the best in terms of packages/presentation, but it will provide hours of entertainment.

"Band Hero PS3"

That's one of the great things about the ps3, its is so versatile. Having a keyboard, BUZZ, pS3 EYE, band equipment, etc and not to mention what you can do with the ps3 on the inside, BR, Gaming, Vid Streaming, etc, it is so fun, to be able to do so many things with it.

. Now I am not a musician nor have I really ever played much of any instrument, so I didn't expect to have so much fun with this game.

The equipment is solid, the drums are actually supported by steel, the guitar is nice looking and feels solid and comfortable, the mic feels like a real stage microphone, the music is good, even the songs I dont care for were fun to play, the easy navigation menu system lets you focus on fun with no hassle. 4 family members or friends can play at any time or just go solo, or jump online and play with tons of people.

A must addition to your PS3! Even if you dont think you like to play instrements you willl likley get hooked.

Pro's

*Easy to put together

*Solid Instruments

*One of the funnest games I have ever played on the PS3

Con's

*Career was little short

*could have been more music, (you can import all of your music though which is very cool!)

*a few bleeped out words in songs will screw up your vocals score when using the mic
