    Ok this gets my props for having Awake by Godsmack and Layla :eek:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Gig:_Rise_of_the_SixString

    A pretty decent set list and further puts the GH to shame for lack of inovation.

    Rock band this is not, It looks like GH if they had done pro guitar

    The troubling thing is I have heard nothing about this game and the fact it looks like GH doesnt help :(

    Videos here. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=power+gig&search_type=&aq=f

    This came out in the US today ? Checking US amazon they have all the kit including official replacement strings and even an amp lol, does not exist according to amazon UK hmmmmmm ;)

    Edit: Oh ffs reading about the drums as me doubled over laughing , yeah this is really going to sell a week before RB 3 comes out :D
    I'm insulting GH mentioning them in the same sentence , this is Rock Revolution 2 lol

    Yeah, it does look fairly bad alright. The drums would be all I'm interested in and they look like an absolute joke. It looks like Harmonix just can't be beaten on the music game front and won't be unless a developer comes up with something really revolutionary in the next 2 or 3 years.

    I remember seeing the preview for this on destructoid. The tracks look like a complete mess. I couldn't tell what the hell was going on.

    IGN review - http://ie.xbox360.ign.com/articles/113/1131136p1.html

    Such a hard decision to choose between this and RB 3 :P

    Am I the only constantly amused by how wrong all non Harmonix developers just consistently fail to deliver when it comes to band games? Harmonix pretty much perfected the UI with GH1 etc... so all these games that follow are just pitiful. Plenty of other good music games out there (and I understand DJ Hero 2 is pretty cool) but I doubt any game will come close to Harmonix's output anytime soon!

    So when will we change the forum name to Guitar Hero & Rock Band & Rise of the Six String?

    I'll get on to the admins straight away! May as well drop GH&RB altogether
