Described are methods, systems, apparatuses, computer program products embodied in a computer-readable storage medium and means for providing online challenges between bands in a musical video game. Typically the invention is executed on a game server in signal communication with a game platform and involves receiving, by the game server, musical game input data representing a musical performance of a band. Then, the game server calculates a composite score from the input data based on a gameplay challenge. Then the composite score is compared to a composite score of a second band's performance for the same gameplay challenge. In some embodiments, the comparison is displayed as a real-time representation of the two bands, even though score of the second band is based on a stored performance of the second band.

A dialog box interface displays the currently active grammar, grammar searching mode, and a current input. A list of valid word phrases of at least one word also is generated and displayed. Using the interface, a user additionally may select an active grammar and a method of searching and displaying valid examples from the grammar based on the current input.
