Power Gig: Rise of the SixString

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString will transport players to an entirely new universe, with its own mythology, politics, settings, heroes and villains, where music rules all. On the gameplay front, Power Gig uses new technology that represents the next evolution of music performance games to provide all players - from casual gamers to the hardcore, from those who have never before picked up a guitar to those who play guitar on a regular basis - with a more authentic and fun experience. The game offers two overarching modes of play. In addition to traditional beat-matching that will be familiar to fans of the band game genre, Power Gig also introduces the option to switch on chording, or chord play. Chording presents the added challenge of playing the game using chords that require specific finger placement on the strings. As players progress through the game, becoming more comfortable with a genuine guitar and potentially choosing to play real power chords, they will find that the byproduct of playing the game is coming away from it with an understanding of some real-life guitar fundamentals.

Rhythm genre dying out? I think not! This looks like a cool game. Definitely worth a buy/rental.

Oh cool, it's Rock Revolution 2!

So, this game is awful right?...

Awful to the point that you can buy bundle packs for this game for less than $20 in retail stores.

Pretty much it's getting the same treatment Rock Revolution got months after release and ridicule.

I can buy the guitar and use it for Rock Band, anyway... XD

The Rock Band Fender Squier controller uses sensors that are abuilt into the neck of the guitar to pinpoint your fingers for the game. Without those sensors, RB3 will not be able to pick up what frets your trying to play.

Power Gig's guitar does not have the sensors in the neck of the guitar. As such, it will not work with Rock Band3.
