Disappointing for most, but worth playing for some
Band Hero basically has the same concept as Guitar Hero, but the songs are very different. That is also the biggest disappointment for most Guitar Hero fans. However, for people who enjoy top 40 songs, this is a recommendation. The songs are generally well-known, which is nice when your friends come over and don't know how the guitar and drum set work; they can just sing along to a song they already know the lyrics of.
In my opinion, it's a game that isn't fantastic, but still fun to play with friends.
