Check Out Power GIG: Rise of the Six-String
For Playstation 3 and XBOX 360
Power GIG for the Playstation 3 and XBox 360 game systems looks awesome. It reports to have a full playable six string guitar. From the promo videos on their official website, this game appears to have taken gaming guitars to the level that most of us have been waiting for since guitar hero first released. For the real life guitar super star this games reports to be a great tool to challenge your skills. For the novice or newbie guitar player, who knows this games may have the potential to train you to play cords.
While we thought the guitar was an awesome feature that this game offers, we do have questions regarding the airstrike drums that come with the game. The air strike drums are just that, air. You strike nothing but air as the sensor below on the floor registers your hits. Parents everywhere will rejoice to the silencing of the constant cluck cluck of the drums in the other band kit games. But as a player and non professional drummer, I think I will miss the wood sticks hitting the pads feeling. Not sure how much I will miss it until I actually play the game. Unfortunately we are just a small gaming website with a small following so I doubt the publishers of this game will let us have a demo to test prior to the game release so that we may do a proper review. Some games have been made available to us through our original gaming section on atomsfamily .net, so maybe this will be one we can get a look at before October.
