Popstar Guitar

Distributor: 
Midway Games
Release Date: 

Wii: 12 november

Featuring songs from top pop music stars including 3 Doors Down, Simple Plan, Blink 182 and many more, PopStar Guitar allows players to unlock their inner pop celebrity and star as the lead guitarist in their very own band. Expected to ship in November 2008, PopStar Guitar will be available for Wii™, featuring the AirG, an exciting new peripheral that turns the Wii Remote into an air guitar.

PopStar Guitar developed by Broadsword Interactive features a single player Career Mode, along with single player and multi-player mini-games. The game takes the player on a musical journey that starts with forming a garage band to playing at 25 unique venues and eventually performing in the worldwide “Battle of the Bands” contest. Twelve playable characters are featured in the game and can be customized to give the band its own unique look. PopStar Guitar features 60 pop songs, including several masters performed by the original artists.

“The popularity of music rhythm games is at an all time high, but to date the games have primarily featured hard core metal, classic and alternative rock music,” said Steve Grossman, chief executive officer of XS Games.  “With popular songs from today’s top pop artists, PopStar Guitar is a game the whole family can enjoy. We’ve also created a dynamic new air guitar game play experience with our AirG peripheral for Wii, allowing players to have a blast as they unleash their inner pop star.”
