Product Description
-------------------
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.

Game Overview
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.
The World of Ohm
Power Gig: Rise of the SixString takes place in Ohm, a world
where music is power. Rockers are the guardians of musical clans,
serving their leaders with the mysterious powers of music and
Mojo. You and two of your friends take on the role of these
Rockers as they encounter power struggles and intrigue. In Ohm,
alliances are forged and broken, rulers rise and fall, and heroes
are made as competition rages among the rocker clans. Music is
power…it's time to play.
Music
Power Gig ups the ante on the music front with a host of killer
tracks, led by three music superstars that are exclusive to our
game - Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews Band and Kid Rock. This marks
the first time ever that master s of songs from each of
the three artists will appear as part of a band video game. Power
Gig will also feature a host of songs from major label artists
and emerging talent from the indie scene, many of which are
available for the first time ever in music games. Compatibility
Power Gig: Rise of the SixString and all of its controllers are
compatible with Rock Band® & Guitar Hero® games and peripherals*.
