Power Gig: Rise of the SixString Announced

Wednesday, 10 Mar 2010 - 13:43PM

Seven45 Studios have revealed Power Gig: Rise of the SixString which is the 'true evolution of the band videogame experience' according to Seven45 themselves.

The game is a lot different to the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series, as the guitar peripheral is a functioning six-string electric guitar (pictured above). 

The guitar features Seven45’s proprietary technology that can distinguish and recognize gamers’ input all along the guitar, making the guitars as easy to pick up and play as any other band game button controllers. They also include all the guts of an electric guitar so players can plug their SixString guitars into any standard amp to jam with their friends.

“Power Gig: Rise of the SixString is meant to be the answer for all of those gamers who have wanted to take their band game experience to the next level; we’re confident that players will agree that the transition from the existing games is both seamless and exhilarating,” said Seven45 Studios Chairman and CEO, Bernard Chiu. “We believe that there is something unmatchable about the feeling of an authentic guitar in your hands, and Power Gig brings that excitement to all gamers with an instrument that absolutely anyone can pick up and play.”

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString will be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall. The SixString guitar is being demoed at the Game Developers Conference, which started yesterday.
