Music gamers are now able to jam out on the just-released JAM Live Music Arcade, a music game for the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network developed by Minneapolis-based gaming/tech company Zivix. What sets JLMA apart from other music games is that it lets you remix songs by letting you play and control the guitar, drums, vocals, synth, FX, and a bunch of other musical instruments.
Prior to the the game's launch, Gamerai interviewed Zivix's vice president Chad Koehler via e-mail to find out more about JLMA and its remix feature. Koehler also shares his thoughts about the current state of the video game music genre and what can be done to help improve it. But, most importantly, above all else:
Will JLMA make you summon a nightmarish monster from the dark depths of the abyss? Wait, what? Don't worry, it'll all make sense in the interview!
GIZORAMA - Since the bursting of the music game genre bubble, plastic instruments have been gathering dust for most gamers. Developer Zivix wants to remedy the problem and they might have with Jam Live Music Arcade… at least for those that like to get deeper into the inner workings of music. Jam Live is not a game like Guitar Hero or Rock Band in the traditional sense and it is a game for those that like blending pieces of music into remixes.
Craig Bryan from NoobFeed.com takes on JAM: Music Live Arcade. For a couple of pounds or dollars it’s worth a quick look over, but for its current price tag it hits a bum note.
I agree, it's a little too pricey for a small game. But it's still kind of cheap, so whatevz XD
I was looking forward to this for a while, if only to get some use out of my plastic instruments.
This music simulation game hits a sour note.
