Control The Action With Your Guitar

Posted: 1/7/2011

A new video game puts an electric guitar in your hands and lets you control the game while amping up your guitar skills.

(NAPSI) - An electrifying new game is striking a chord with music lovers-as it uses a six- string guitar that functions as a wireless game controller.

Featuring the music of Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews and Kid Rock, "Power Gig: Rise of the SixString" for Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 has been called the true evolution of band video games.

Through an exclusive deal, the music of these artists will only appear here and not in any other games.

The game integrates real guitar playing into entertaining gameplay. The video game can recognize gamers' input along the guitar, making the guitar as easy to pick up and play as other band-game button controllers.

Outside of the game world, the SixString can also be used as a fully functional electric guitar.

Anyone can play, even without guitar experience. If you like your existing button controllers, have at it as the software is cross-compatible with existing band games. For more information, visit www.powergig.com.
