GDC 2010: Power Gig - Rise of the Six String
The music game genre is an almost contradictory game category; though these games test the dexterity of players and their ability to color match on the fly, they don't teach gamers anything about playing a real musical instrument. The advent of the drum peripheral allows gamers to experience a fairly close simulation of what it's like to play a drum set, but would-be guitarists are left out in the cold. Seven45 Studios hope to change that with the release of Power Gig - Rise of the Six String, which offers music game aficionados an actual working electric guitar (3/4ths the size of an actual guitar) to put to use in and out of the game.
