My living room is littered with a plastic drumkit, a

clutch of ersatz guitars and a tangled mess of

microphones. That’s becausemy idea of a good

night involes playing Guitar Hero and Sing Star.

For anyone short of space, gaming peripherals

are a pain, not a pleasure, so the fact that

Ultimate Band is played with standard controllers

will appeal to many. However, shaking remotes

and pressing buttons just isn’t as much fun as

playing a (fake) guitar, even if this is a cheaper

alternative.
