Seven45 Studios used the Game Developers Conference to unveil a music game destined for videogame consoles that incorporates a real guitar, reports AP. The studio, owned by Boston based musical instrument maker First Act, is developing Power Gig: Rise of the SixString for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game will use a real six-string guitar in place of the mostly button-based, guitar-shaped controllers utilized in Activision s Guitar Hero and MTV Games Rock Band games. Seven45 Studios told AP that Power Gig will have an easy mode similar to those titles beat-based rhythm games as well as challenges where players must strum specific chords. But with its controller being a real guitar, players can use it outside of the game by plugging it into any standard amp. AP says Power Gig is slated for fall 2010 release and will be priced comparably to current music game and accessory bundles. Read more from AP.
