Universal Music Group (UMG) wants to directly monetize on its content in the mobile gaming space. Hence, the company has unveiled Six-String iPhone game, which pretty much works like Tap Tap Revenge, delivering “a dynamic guitar experience.”
You can play in 2 different modes – Practice Mode or Studio Mode. The former lets you get familiar with a song, while in the latter you compete, earn points and work up to Six-String’s high-score rankings. Each track can be played at three different levels of difficulty, and the sound could be adjusted to hear only the guitar or the guitar against the full master recording.
Social element is also incorporated via Plus+ Network, allowing users to challenge each other’s prowess on any song, and post their score updates via Facebook, Twitter and email.
Six-String comes with 6 chart-topping tracks, but you can easily add songs from the in-app store. The tracks included are: Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love A Bad Name;” Tom Petty’s “Runnin’ Down A Dream;” Fall Out Boy’s “Thnks Fr Th Mmrs;” Peter Frampton’s “Show Me The Way;” and Orianthi’s “According To You.” It also contains The Scorpions “Raised on Rock,” from their new album, “Sting in the Tail.”
