Six String Review
Mini_discussion_bubble iPhone Game Network - Posted Fri, 16 Apr 2010 01:29:59 UTC +00:00
Published: April 16, 2010 Comment         A wise man named Kämblad once said that Six String is going to be the “Guitar Hero killer”.  Guitar Hero has nothing on this six stringed, side scrolling, guitar game. Six String is a guitar playing game in which the player strums the strings of a guitar in order to complete each song.But it is much more than a Guitar Hero/Rock Band game. Six String offers more than just hitting a note on time; Six String has notes that the player “plucks,” holds, or strums.One feature that I liked about the strumming in this game is that there are some songs that require the player to strum anywhere between 2 and 6 strings in one strum.On higher difficulty levels, there is also a button that that must be pressed when a cord change is required.Furthermore, play a note wrong, or with bad timing causes Read More

Tapping games and the iPhone go together extremely well. The great screen and awesome responsiveness make for a great platform to jam to some music while on the go. We've seen plenty of tap music games flow through the store with the most popular of the genre being the Tap Tap series. Six-String is an app that is looking to take the genre to new levels and challenge the user who may have found the other games to be a little too easy. Not only will users have to tap bubbles that come from the side of the screen, they will also have to strum the strings by drawing their finger across the screen. Just the introduction of this small element makes for a completely new experience and on some harder levels, there is even more to manage. Chords must be changed by pressing a button on the side of the Read More

Universal has set out to change the way you play rhythm-based games on your iPhone or iPod touch by attempting to offer a more authentic guitar experience in their new game Six-String. In Six-String, notes and cues still stream down your screen like every other rhythm game, but instead of simply tapping on each and every thing that flies by, you will be plucking, changing chords, and strumming your six guitar strings on your way to rock glory. As you may have guessed, Six-String features a total of six guitar strings on your screen.  Musical notes and cues stream down these strings until they reach your guitar pickup, or as I like to call it, your tap and strum zone.  When a green or yellow note is over the top of the guitar pickup, simply tap on it or tap and hold.  When an arrow passes by the zone it indicates Read More
First Look: Universal Music’s “Six String” Guitar Game for iPhone
Mini_discussion_bubble Mashable - Posted Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:39:41 UTC +00:00
by Universal Music Group has debuted a new Guitar Hero-like music simulation game for the iPhone. Priced at $4.99 and available in the App Store right now, it’s called [iTunes link]. The emphasis is on a more realistic and deeper guitar-playing experience than you get in other music games, though it’s still not quite like the real thing. The game comes with licensed UMG songs by artists like Bon Jovi and Tom Petty. It even includes a song by The Scorpions (“Raised on a Rock”) from an album that won’t hit shelves digital or otherwise until March 23. There are two game modes: Practice Mode and Studio Mode. Practice mode gives you feedback on how accurate you are in hitting notes. Studio Mode turns off those hints and replaces them with status bars that measure your progress. If you make too many mistakes, you’re kicked out of the song. We played Read More

My favorite iPhone music game yet!
musicgamer1 5.0 stars Version: 1.0.0
Really like this game. The best thing about it is that you are really playing the guitar with the songs! It's not just about tapping to the rhythm, this is about notes, chords, chord changes, etc, just the way you would play it on a guitar. This takes the music game thing to the next level of the game.
Six String Rocks
