Power Gig: Rise of the SixString
Power Gig: Rise of the SixString
Description (IGDB)
Power Gig: Rise of the SixString is a rhythm guitar focused game. While the game is similar to guitar-based games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, Power Gig ships with a unique guitar game controller that acts as both a standalone six-stringed guitar and game controller with note-matching games. Because of the nearness of the controller and gameplay to that of a real guitar, it has attracted musicians including Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and Kid Rock that have shied away from music games before due to the simplicity of the button-mashing concept. The game is also distributed with the AirStrike, a drum controller that works on motion sensing.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Aside from the noticeable lack in presentation, this game is still really fun. With such a new idea in the way of peripherals, one could worry that the functionality may not be very strong. Thankfully, the game and controller work in harmony and after some practice you don't feel like it's the game's fault your missing notes. »
« More realistic or not, it's a little late in the rhythm-game slugfest for Power Gig to stumble over elements that Rock Band and Guitar Hero get right, like an easily activated overdrive and a reasonably low bar for unlocking new tracks. Couple those concerns with a suspect track list and a substantial buy-in, and Power Gig just doesn't have the chops to survive in an already-cluttered genre. »
« The guitar is underutilized, the music selection (despite a few gems) is merely average, and the graphics are very last-gen. »
« There are some interesting ideas here, but none of them come together well enough for a serious recommendation. »
« If you're looking at this as a music game, stick with either Rock Band or Guitar Hero. They might not feature real guitars that you can plug into an amp, but at least you'll get a better gaming experience and more players with whom to share the experience. »
« Power Gig: Rise of the SixString was a good stab at adding something unique to the music genre, alongside its great set list. It's unfortunate that the overall experience is left wanting and that the guitar -- the thing you dropped all that money on -- really does prevent enjoyment seeping into your gaming sessions. »
« Had this actually been a game that was comparable to Rock Band 3's Pro mode, but with a real six string guitar, then I would be thrilled. But instead it's an overpriced, low budget music game with tacked on power chords. »
« While the concept of playing such a game with a real guitar is enticing, Power Gig seems content to leave it at that, without ever pushing the envelope or advancing the genre in any way other than the arguably gimmicky hardware. »

« Terrible, just terrible, get Rock Band 3 instead. I actually thought it would be all right but god. This is a bad guitar game almost like Rock Revolution, and we all know how much that ****. »
