June 18, When tackling chord play on the highest difficulty, you begin to experience some of the same finger positions required to play the game for real, albeit without a clear sense of the required fingering or barring techniques that might be involved in doing so.
Nonetheless, the game offers a bridge of sorts between gameplay and actual musicianship that has yet to be explored by other games. However, the representatives from Seven45 Studios were quick to point out that they were aiming to match a number of songs on the disk with other music titles currently on the market, which would suggest between 50 and 90 tracks.
Seven45 also has the cooperation and participation of all four major music labels, and plans to include only original master recordings in the final game. In-song action appears very similar to existing music game software; each instrument has a set of descending gems that must be triggered in time with the music to succeed.
The SixString will be cross-compatible with all existing music games. In addition, Power Gig is playable using your existing Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar, albeit in beat matching mode only. Power Gig will launch with other instruments beyond the new SixString peripheral, including a new take on the drum set peripheral. When the game launches, gamers will be able to purchase a bundle that includes the game, a SixString guitar peripheral, guitar strap, picks, and extra guitar strings.
Other bundles remain to be announced. The two existing franchises on the market certainly offer some stiff competition against a newcomer.

Worth Playing. If you're looking at this as a music game, stick with either Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Seven45 is also working on a drum peripheral that it claims will be just as unique as the guitar, but we won't be seeing that device until the Electronic Entertainment Expo. As far as how the game itself runs, the brief gameplay we were shown wasn't trying to do too much: while the song plays, a number of stylized musicians patrol the stage in time with the music.
The one area the team is trying to focus on to differentiate the game is the career mode, which will tell a proper story from start to finish. Details are scarce, but Seven45 was keen to mention the transformative power of rock and roll as being one of the key themes. Expect to see our impressions of that drum peripheral when E3 rolls around in June. The final game is expected to arrive this fall on the Xbox and PlayStation 3.
