Power Gig - Rise of the Six String

[LoAlexandria]

where to get this guitar from anyway?

cantg find anything (need a shop exporting to germany tho)

[Blessorship]

Sorry to revive such an old topic. But I finally just got this in from GameFly and decided to come back and check out what was being said about it here, and damn.. I must say I am not going to expect much out of this game now. I don't have the "real" guitar, just an old GHWT guitar. I'll try and learn more about the "Hit all power chords" trophy and see if it's possible with a RB or GH device.

EDIT: ugh just read every other thread in this forum including trophy guide, and it does involve specific peripherals. So to hell with platinum!

Can you play the game with the GH/RB guitar? Or do you need the new guitar?

i just got this tonight and its awsome. it beats the setlist of rockband and guitar hero to me. definitly with kid rock and 3 days grace on it. it was hard at first cause it does get laggy at times but after 2 or 3 songs i only missed 1% of notes. so its managable. story isnt that great. graphics to me are awsome. although i care less about graphics. within 5 songs i had about 7 trophies. and im using my gh wor guitar. it is setup like rock revolution. i thought it was awsome so to me this is awsome. and out of work at the moment so i can only buy games really cheap. got it at gamestop for $8.99 and it came with an amp for free. for that price it was worth it. id be willing to pay $30 for it but no more.

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".

At Big Lots the Guitar game bundle is 25$

Hey Timmy, your review really makes me laugh now

To say the setlist beats RB and GH is a real joke. There are absolutely no songs in the game that I think I'd actually enjoy playing more than once. The fact that one of the trophies makes me play a song 10 times means I might just have to kill myself afterwards.

Getting a few trophies after just a few songs is not a good indication of a great game. In that case, Terminator Salvation is a great game - a platinum trophy in just a few hours.

In short, RB3 is the only game that can seriously be considered 'next gen'. The only way RB3 could be toppled is if they considered rhythm and lead guitars as separate instruments (as they should be).

WHAT

now Timmy is a confirmed ''Rock Revolution and Power Gig Fanboy

RB and GH's setlist are miles better then this game. NONE of the songs in Power Gig appeal to me.

See told you ''This game has the weakest song list of any guitar game to date'' thats sad.
