Guitar Game Features Actual Guitar, Posers Aghast
Well, it’s only taken five years, but someone’s finally figured out that the best way to control a guitar-game would be to sell people an actual guitar.
Power Gig: Rise of the Six String hands players a game controller that’s a real guitar with a quarter inch pick up – meaning you’ll be able to plug it into an amp – and the guitars will come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Again, I have no idea why this took so long.
It’s still a follow the leader/simon says style of gameplay, meaning you’ll strum the right string to match up with the screen at the right time, but it’ll also give you the opportunity to hold down several strings at once and strum, creating what musicians call a “chord,” that you’ll then be able to play in front of real people who you’ll actually impress.
The game will also work with standard Guitar Hero and Rock Band controllers. It’s slated for release this fall on PS3 and XBox 360.
