GameRecoil -> -> Nintendo's Ultimate Band Available NOW

• 
  

  

   

  Disney sure is busy today. Not only did they release a Club Penguin game for the Nintendo DS, but they also released Ultimate Band. UB is basically a rip-off of other rhythm matching games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but I suppose I can forgive them for wanting to cash in on something that is profitable.

  You can play single-player or multi-player in UB with a list of (supposedly) popular songs. Thankfully, you will only need to use the Wiimote or DS stylus to play the game. I'm not entirely sure how jamming on a guitar will feel with only a Wiimote in hand, but at least you don't have to drop an extra $30+ on a Wii guitar.

  One thing I can say in defense of Ultimate Band, it does have a neat song-writing feature. It will allow you to lay down the guitar, bass, drums, et cetera for a original tune and put it all together (if you're that talented, that is).  
  
  Ultimate Band will provide ample amounts of customization; you can control your band's look, style, attitude, performance, skills, and more. UB's unique constellation of customization makes it identifiable and distinguishable from Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but it will have trouble gaining steam. 

  As you progress through your virtual career, you encounter more bonuses and option in the form of unlocked songs, venues, and accessories. Also, down the road you can add a fifth player known as an Effects DJ.

  Ultimate Band has an MSRP is $29.99 for Nintendo DS and $49.99 for Wii.
