Power Gig: Rise of the SixString is a rhythm-based music game for Xbox 360 that emphasizes guitar gameplay. Unlike traditional games like Guitar Hero, it features a unique six-string controller that functions as both a guitar and a game controller, appealing to musicians. The game also includes the AirStrike drum controller, which utilizes motion sensing technology for an immersive experience.
Power Gig: Rise of the SixString is a rhythm guitar focused game. While the game is similar to guitar-based games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, Power Gig ships with a unique guitar game controller that acts as both a standalone six-stringed guitar and game controller with note-matching games. Because of the nearness of the controller and gameplay to that of a real guitar, it has attracted musicians including Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, and Kid Rock that have shied away from music games before due to the simplicity of the button-mashing concept. The game is also distributed with the AirStrike, a drum controller that works on motion sensing.
