We didn't even realize what vaguely familiar song was being mashed up in this Battle of the Bands trailer for a minute -- it sounded cool, and it was exciting, and it seemed like the kind of thing we would enjoy playing in a rhythm game. Then the "Latin" version kicked in and we figured it out -- it's Gorillaz' "Feel Good Inc."! Hearing our favorite songs in so many different styles is going to be novel for a long time.
As for the actual gameplay, we aren't quite sure how the waving-based control scheme will hold up. We hope it works as well as the musical concept of the game.

I dunno, but am I the only one who has absolutely no cue what this game is?

It's a rhythm game with waggle!

The novelty of the mash-ups seems fun, and the Grim Fandango background characters seem pretty cool. The controls look like weapons-grade horse crap, though.

That music sounds beyond awesome... :) I may have to get it, even though I suck at these kind of games.

I keep watching these videos and I still can't figure out how well those controls are going to turn out. Either this is going to be awesome or terrible. There really is no middle ground for this title.

I'm very nervous about how poorly the Wii controller will work with this game. I'm going to need to read multiple reviews of how the controller works with this before I drop $50 on this thing.

I really REALLY hope this game is worth it, I love the concept! I hope the controls work well.
And because I feel the need to post this whenever I see a post about this game: http://www.qwantz.com/archive/000967.html

GatorSax, by any chance are you in the Monday Night concert band? I'm wondering because I'm the Bari player in that band, it'd be cool to know another Wii Fanboy reader.

Yeah, I even met someone who used to write for Wii Fanboy in one of my clubs! Wii Fanboy and Gators just seem to go together I guess

Soundtracks make or break rhythm games. No worries there.

You mean the "Feel Good" in the beginning didn't tip you off?

My internet must be broken, because that looks and sounds awful.
