Band Hero

You have the microphone for vocals, guitars for either lead or bass guitar and the drum kits for drumming along.

Accordingly, each instrument has its own 'career' path in game.

If you are doing the vocals for your band, you have to sing along in time to the music, matching the pitch as closely as possible.

Lead and bass guitar is played by holding down the fret buttons and strumming as the appropriate fret icons cross the strike line on screen.

Drums are done similar to the guitars, hitting the correct drum pad's/cymbals at the correct time.

The better you do, the more points you score, however if you make too many mistakes, you will fail the song.

You can either play alone on any of the instrument careers, or you can play with up to three friends on one console or online to compete with other players and bands from across the world.

Songs featured include Duran Duran's Rio , Don McLean's American Pie , Evanescence's Bring Me To Life and Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love .

Band Hero for Nintendo Wii is currently worth €16.99 loose, €4.91 complete in box, and €6.75 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Band Hero has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Band Hero, loose is €16.99 and CIB is €4.91 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Band Hero is currently worth €16.99 loose, versus €13.12 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
