Ultimate Band (Review)

10 Dec 2008

One of 2007’s guiltier DS pleasures was Hannah Montana: Music Jam. The pleasure came from several different well-realized instruments and a robust recording studio, all on a DS cart. Not even the Guitar Hero games do that on DS. The bad?

Ripten:

"Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to participate in a conference call with a few dudes from Fall Line Studio, developers of the just-released Ultimate Band for the Wii and DS. Tim Huntsman (senior producer), Mark McArthur (development director), and Mike Thompson (art director) fielded questions posed by us media types in a James Lipton-style interview presented by Access Communications.

The good questions, obviously, were submitted by me, but I want to apologize for the woman at the end who was rude and unprofessionally douche-like. Yes, it is possible to be professionally douche-like, so shut up.

There is also an occasional beepy-boop noise that I'm assuming is people joining the call, but that was totally not my computer making the noise so whatev. And after re-reading all of the stuff that I just wrote, I realize that deep down inside I am apparently a valley-girl."

By now you've probably heard about Disney's new entry into the music/rhythm category, Ultimate Band, which comes out in the fall.

You probably know the basics: It's a music game for Wii and DS that uses their motion sensing / touch screen to play the instruments, so it doesn't come with any extra peripherals. It's being developed by Disney Interactive's Fall Line Studio in Utah, which DIS established in 2006 to make Wii and DS games. Though the development house has contributed to some other projects, this is the first game that's being made entirely at Fall Line.

But The Cut Scene learned a lot more about the game from an interview with Senior Game Designer Derek Dutelly.
