GameSpy 9.0            

Beneath the taint of bubblegum pop, Band Hero delivers where it counts.

1UP 8.5            

Though suspiciously similar to Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero still offers fun rhythm/party action.

GameSpot 8.0            

Band Hero makes fake plastic rock easy to pick up, family friendly, and a whole lot of fun.

 

GiantBomb 6.0            

It's Guitar Hero 5 with different graphics and a more diverse setlist. If you like these 65 songs, you should probably get Band Hero.

Green Day: Rock Band is a music video game developed by Harmonix Music Systems, published by MTV Games and distributed by Electronic Arts. It is the fifth major console release in the Rock Band music video game series and, like other games in the series, it allows players to simulate the playing of rock music by using controllers shaped like musical instruments.
The game's soundtrack consists of songs by the popular punk rock group Green Day. Green Day: Rock Band will feature virtual depictions of the three band members performing the songs in new venues designed for the game. The game will incorporate existing Green Day songs already released for the Rock Band series as downloadable content, and will allow players to export its full tracklist to the other Rock Band game titles except The Beatles: Rock Band.

While it doesn't spring any surprises, Green Day: Rock Band packs high-energy rock into a solid package.

Do you like Green Day? Do you like Rock Band? OK good, we're done here.

GiantBomb 8.0            

Green Day: Rock Band makes good on the promises implicit in the title, but it requires an appreciation of both Green Day and Rock Band to really enjoy.

 

1UP 6.9            

Both lapsed and longtime Green Day fans should enjoy this brief tour through the band's hits.
