Ultimate Band

by Lynn Little

Love rockin’ games like Rock Band but don’t want all those extra peripherals to deal with? A new game due out this fall for the Nintendo Wii will allow you to rock out with only using the Wii controllers.

Ultimate Band is being developed and will be released by Disney Interactive Studios. Disney is hoping to showcase all types of music in the game from classic rock to the most popular hits from today. The game will be geared toward tweens and teens.

Players will build their own customized band. They will also see their career grow from playing in someone’s garage to some of the world’s finest venues. Players can rock out on guitar, drums, or even take on lead vocals all with using the Wii remote and Nunchuk. There will also be content that will be unlockable as players progress through the game like new songs and accessories.

Disney is working with some of the biggest names in the music industry to bring a wide selection of songs to Ultimate Band. Rock, alternative, indie, and emo are just a few of the styles that will likely have a spot in Ultimate Band. No specific details of songs that might be included have been released.

Ultimate Band is set to be released sometime in the fall of 2008. It will be available for the Nintendo Wii and DS. The DS version will be a rhythm game that will predominately use the stylus to play the game.

    No thanks…I will gladly pass on this Fisher Price version. I want the guitar, I want the drum set, and I want the MIC! I am one of those few people who actually like to sing in the Rock Band game. I WANT “ROCK BAND!!!” Not a dumb-down, jump-on-the-band-wagon game.
