Ultimate Band (Nintendo Wii, Game)

Video games can make your wildest popstar dreams come true - but all those expensive extra controllers means that even virtual success comes at a heavy price. With Ultimate Band though, you don't need any extra equipment or peripherals at all.. You can play lead or bass guitar by just pressing buttons on the Wii remote and strumming along on the nunchuck. Special moves like windmilling are recognised instantly, as you not only try to keep the rhythm but also keep the crowd excited. Anyone can play drums too, with the remote and nunchuck held like drum sticks, or become the frontman (or woman). You don't actually sing into a mic but you do have to dance and wave your arms in time with the song. It's a shame the music doesn't change as you make a mistake, but otherwise this is a fun, budget alternative to Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
