Product Description

Product Description

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString will transport players to an entirely new universe, with its own mythology, politics, settings, heroes and villains, where music rules all. On the gameplay front, Power Gig uses new technology that represents the next evolution of music performance games to provide all players — from casual gamers to the hardcore, from those who have never before picked up a guitar to those who play guitar on a regular basis — with a more authentic and fun experience. The game offers two overarching modes of play. In addition to traditional beat-matching that will be familiar to fans of the band game genre, Power Gig also introduces the option to switch on chording, or chord play. Chording presents the added challenge of playing the game using chords that require specific finger placement on the strings. As players progress through the game, becoming more comfortable with a genuine guitar and potentially choosing to play real power chords, they will find that the byproduct of playing the game is coming away from it with an understanding of some real-life guitar fundamentals.

The World of Ohm
Power Gig: Rise of the SixString takes place in Ohm, a world where music is power. Rockers are the guardians of musical clans, serving their leaders with the mysterious powers of music and Mojo. You and two of your friends take on the role of these Rockers as they encounter power struggles and intrigue. In Ohm, alliances are forged and broken, rulers rise and fall, and heroes are made as competition rages among the rocker clans. Music is power…it's time to play.

Revolutionary Instrument Peripherals

  • The SixString Guitar: The SixString Guitar pulls you into a more authentic rock experience with real strings instead of buttons and lets you take the experience even further through Power Chord mode, which blends real power chords into gameplay. The icing on the cake - the SixString is also a fully functional real electric guitar that can be plugged into any standard guitar amp! Music
    Power Gig ups the ante on the music front with a host of killer tracks, led by three music superstars that are exclusive to our game - Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews Band and Kid Rock. This marks the first time ever that master recordings of songs from each of the three artists will appear as part of a band video game. Power Gig will also feature a host of songs from major label artists and emerging talent from the indie scene, many of which are available for the first time ever in music games.     Compatibility
    Power Gig: Rise of the SixString and all of its controllers are compatible with Rock Band® & Guitar Hero® games and peripherals*. Go to     powergig.com/compatibility for more information. Additional Screenshots:

5.0 out of 5 stars PG Amazing Game
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2010
Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: Guitar KitVerified Purchase
This is an amazing game. You actually have a real guitar. I have to disagree with other reviewers. They say that they have played guitar for years and this one is garbage. When you review you have to be as partial as possible. I have played the guitar as a hobby for a wile and I find this guitar pretty descent. This is a plastic guitar and is a 3/4 scale, and it is pretty obvious that down scale guitar have some disadvantages compared to a full size guitar regarding the brand and the materials. There are some people making statements that the guitar doesn't stay in tune very well. If you really know about guitars you would know that even $1000 plus guitars when they have new strings they go out of tune very fast until they get loose after a couple of days of playing several hours. Most of the important musicians in the world have 2 or more guitars for a concert and they change the guitar every couple of songs so a musical technician tune the guitar for them. As simple as that.

For me the guitar works well, and it has a pretty decent sound. You have to remember that this is a $120 dollar guitar. What are they expecting a $1300 Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar. Dont make me laugh.

The game graphics are mediocre but the game play is good and gives you a good basic for cords playing and good finger agility.

Get ready to burn the tip of your fingers if you are a beginner with string instruments. That's a natural process.

I hope you enjoy the game and the guitar as much as me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Guitar is under-rated!
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2011
Platform For Display: Xbox 360Edition: Guitar KitVerified Purchase
The game itself is better than the reviews would lead you to believe. I am more interested than function than form, and the game gets that job done just fine. I have not spent a ton of time yet with the Rise of the SixString game, but I didn't find it all that different from the competition or objectionable. I would say the graphics aren't "bad" but more in a different artistic style that is being interpreted as primitive.

Really, my primary interest was the guitar controller and I have mainly been playing the Power Gig guitar with Rock Band/Guitar Hero/Band Hero. I was intending to purchase the Rock Band 3 Fender Squier for the RB3 Pro mode, but the super low discounted price on the Power Gig made it worth a try first. Initially I thought I was settling - now I believe this was a great choice!

The guitar is suprisingly heavy! It is plastic, but it looks extremely cool and doesn't feel cheap. The frets have individual string pick-ups for all 6 strings in the positions for the normal 5 color controller buttons, plus a space (detected as a non-color button), then repeats again (unmarked) further up the neck. The controller appears to be detected as having the touch sensitive slide buttons as found on some of the Guitar Hero guitars, although I haven't fully explored this capability yet. You can play normally from either button position regardless. This is a nice feature that I'm not sure is documented.

The guitar as a musical instrument is pretty much a novelty. It does work, and it doesn't go out of tune instantly as I have seen in the other reviews; but it is inherently out of tune with itself. An open string tuning will leave you with a relative tuning that is off, and visa versa. i.e. the pitch change when you hold down a string is off; one string is off by almost a half tone. You kind of have to play a game with splitting the difference and detune some strings to minimize the overall error in pitch. I'm not sure if this could be corrected with some bridge adjustment.

As a game controller, it works very well; albeit a humbling experience. That hard/expert setting that you may have been playing on is not happening right away. If you are looking to develop some real guitar techniques, this guitar will certainly do that! You *must* develop real, useful guitar techniques or you will not be able to play this guitar successfully. There is a learning curve. Just repeatedly strumming a single string is a humbling experience for me. I can play some casual guitar... but strumming a string at the rates required for these games has been a real learning experience and is a real (tough) skill that will be developed. In fact, I am finding this more challenging than fingering!

One limitation I hadn't thought about before receiving the guitar is that with a stringed controller, it can't distinguish between an up and down strum. All strumming is detected as down. This is unavoidable, but will affect some challenges in the other games that expect you to alternate.

A complaint that I have read is that this guitar will develop bad habits like fingering more than one note on the same string. This is actually very inaccurate. Although it is possible to do this, it is not going to get you very far. The guitar detects a string press by electrical contact of the string against the two frets adjacent to the note desired. Each fret is split into 6 electrical contacts so that different strings can be detected. Playing two adjacent frets on the same string will work fine; albeit bad technique. But if you attempt to play two notes on the same string intending to skip the fret in-between, it will necessarily make contact across all 3 frets. This forces you to play the two (or more) notes on different strings, developing good technique. The manual explains this, along with chord suggestions that will work best. This physical mechanism could theoretically allow for full finger/chord detection not unlike the Rock Band 3 Pro controllers - and it can detect some chords in-game. Despite that, it cannot be used as a Pro controller.

Granted, you are not playing the actual notes of the songs - although you can if that note happens to be available on the fret(s) required for play. Quite frankly, I quickly realized that I am not even close to ready to play the actual notes. Just picking any string on the required frets and strumming is challenging enough. I am developing accurate finger placement and picking techniques that apply directly to playing guitar for real. The guitar does give a fair assessment of when you are on and when you are off. It is not very forgiving on finger placement, which IMHO is not a bad thing since you will also develop accuracy.

Overall, I am extremely happy with this guitar and am very glad that I bought it. The fact that it is usable with all the guitar games is a definite plus over the RB3 Pro controllers. In fact, I am re-considering a Pro controller purchase at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to like this

I really really wanted to like this guitar game because well REAL GUITAR but unfortunately the game and the actually playing real guitar part are two COMPLETELY different things the guitar is well kinda nice its not gonna be a 400$ ax but its not a playskool my first guitar

now im going to go over gameplay experience both with and without the guitar that came with it

with guitar; the touch sensors are very very wonky and irked me as to how bad i did, do to just the overall terrible build of the electronics on the guitar two songs into the game on expert and i was done i was not having any fun it was the same thing as guitar hero with the exception that you had a chance to play 1/8th of the song as power chords instead of colored buttons essentially with metal strings blocking the buttons

with plastic guitar hero guitar i easily blew through the game on expert it has the graphics of a bit less than guitar hero II and at least the music was the actual music and not covers overall the mechanics of the game were definitely sub par

now please read this for what it is don't insult me saying oh you don't know how to play guitar or oh you just need to calibrate it or you went into this game with a negative mindset trust me I was one of those people who just dismissed bad reviews thinking they were completely out of line I have played every guitar hero/rockband game there is and this is just a insult to the rhythm based genre dont believe me try it for yourself and then talk to me

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2011

It's not the worst game out there and it's a really innovative concept. There are a few things that, hopefully, will improve in future games for the SixString.

Such as:

better song list
whammy effect AND power up by shaking the guitar like guitar hero
more forgiving fret board
better audio

I have a decent sound system but even with guitar at the fullest setting in the option menu, still disappointed with the sound.

Also the fret board on the SixString in unforgiving. I'm pressing down really hard (especially on the power chords), and sometimes it still won't work. Even the single notes get picky, so I have to hold 3 strings with one finger for it to register...shouldn't have to do that.

It's not a total loss, this is after all a prototype and they can't achieve perfection the 1st go around.
