The epic struggle between Music Rhythm games is coming to a head this fall/autumn. No, it's not only between Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but a fourth entrant (What was that Konami "putout" some time ago?) in the scene -- Power Gig: Rise of the SixString. We all know what Guitar Hero and RockBand are ( if you don't how did you arrive at this site?), yet the real question is has every angle been explored?
Other stabs at entering the music game craze have done nothing but crash and burn with the except being DJ Hero, of which is a different type of game of sorts. Either way, does Power Gig Rise of the SixString have a chance? The music is of course a huge part of any games success. Is that enough when the purchase of another peripheral is in the cards? Question upon question is what this all leads to. Developer Seven45 hopes it's exclusive rights to Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews Band, Kid Rock will make a difference. In the past we've seen that catering to the wider audience with simplifying or dumbing down everything is the key when it comes to success (think Wii versus everything else or Guitar Freaks vs Guitar Hero/RockBand). Will going even more hardcore work against the trend this time? Chances are highly unlikely unless Seven45 knows something history doesn't.
The full setlist can be seen after the break.
