Power Gig - Rise of the Six String

[atirador]

The sad thing, it seems, is that even when the game drop to something like US$10 in the bargain bin it would require that stupid guitar for platinum.

So there goes a chance for a very cheap platinum.

And my wife really wanted to sing/play that Paramore song... but I'll be damned if I buy a 10 buck game that will taint my profile without a platinum.

Power Gig: Rise of the SixString has received mostly negative reviews for various reasons. William Abner of GameShark stated that "It's a bad time to release a new music game property -- and an even worse time to release a bad one."[10], alluding to the rhythm genre's poor sales performance in 2009.

Power Gig's guitar peripheral has received negative reviews. Griffin McElroy of Joystiq referred to the game as "a dumbfounding product...[centering] itself around a peripheral which is a real guitar, yet it doesn't allow the player to use the real guitar as if it were a real guitar. Instead, it settles for using a new toy to manipulate an old game -- but still manages to categorically fail at both."[11] McElroy also criticized the quality of the guitar, stating "As far as the quality of said sound -- well, it plays about as well as you'd expect a $180 guitar to play. Which is to say, not well at all".[11]

The game's story mode, soundtrack, and gameplay were also not well received. Abner has stated that "[even] if you grab an old instrument, you are basically just playing a cheap Guitar Hero/Rock Band knock off."[10] Jack DeVries of IGN refers to the story as "laughably bad...a futuristic tale of a city where music it outlawed, so rebel forces have to unite and rock out to take down the evil oppressive Headliner."[9] McElroy referred to the game's cutscenes as being of "CD-i quality". DeVries calls the soundtrack "the weakest setlist ever to grace a guitar game."[9] Mike Splechta of GameZone stated that "The set list is yet another disappointment. It has some variety, and features music that wasn't yet included in other music games, but most of it feels out of place and isn't very fun to play."


Damn, I didn't think it would do well, but I never though it would be THIS bad!!

Wow, I wonder what Timmy22 makes of this? Wonder if he's still buying this game, which is obviously better than any Rock Band game ever made.

I don't know for sure and I was hoping that someone could clarify this, but it seems that it's this trophy:

Power Chord Master
Hit every Power Chord in any song.

It seems that the only "real" thing you do with the "real" guitar is some power chords, so I think that you cannot do those Power Chords with a plastic guitar.

Let's hope that one of the 2 or 3 people that bought this game can post more info about this trophy and the possibility of a platinum without that stupid "real" guitar.

I does not work with the Fender Mustang.

So, if we need the Power Gig guitar to platinum, that's going to be a very expensive platinum.

Especially because the game sucks and the guitar it's a real cheap and bad "real guitar".
