One of the main complaints when it comes to the likes or Guitar Hero and Rock Band, is that you don’t learn anything from all the time put in. All these hours wasted learning an irrelevant plastic instrument. It’s also irritating for those who can play the guitar who try these games yet have no advantage from their experience of playing a real guitar. Someone who stays inside flicking a strum bar for 8 hours a day shouldn’t be able to beat a rock legend like Slash or Tom Morello.
Well, gone is this dilemma as of the release of Power Gig in October, in which (as much guitar players have asked for), you will control the game with a real guitar controller. This is a huge step forward in the band simulation games market, and depending on the final output, could be a huge triumph. Now, Seven45 Studios have revealed the full track list for the final game. As you can see from the list, it’s a fairly diverse line-up, although full of quality. For 80% of the songs, it will be their band game debut.
