BandFuse: Rock Legends Offers A More Realistic Musical Experience

Keep the toys in the closet

The music genre may not be what it once was (it's deader than disco), but there are a few new games on the horizon. BandFuse: Rock Legends is one such brave title. Taking a cue from Rocksmith, BandFuse will allow gamers to play with a real guitar, bass, or USB microphone. Featuring the in-game tutelage of Slash, Zakk Wylde, and Bootsy Collins, players will learn how to play a wide variety of songs.

The game uses animated guitar tablature to guide musicians of any skill level through a chosen song. Yes, you will need to bring your own instrument for this gig. This may not be a game for the masses, but it should be a fun experience for anyone who happens to have a guitar or bass laying around. The game will support four player local co-op. I'm guessing vocals, lead, rhythm, and bass rolls will be supported. Check out the video to see the game in action.

Announced song list :

“Back From Cali” - Slash

“You Oughta Know” - Alanis Morissette
“No Rain” - Blind Melon “Godzilla” - Blue Oyster Cult
“Yellow” - Coldplay “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” - Fall Out Boy “The Bleeding” - Five Finger Death Punch “Barracuda” - Heart “Drive” - Incubus “Breaking the Law” - Judas Priest “Cult of Personality” - Living Colour “Harder to Breathe” - Maroon 5 “I’m Broken” – Pantera “Alive” - Pearl Jam “Jessie’s Girl” - Rick Springfield “Limelight” - Rush “Should I Stay or Should I Go” - The Clash “The Crazy Ones” - Stellar Revival “Reptilia” - The Strokes

BandFuse: Rock Legends supports four player local co-op. It will be out on the Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 in "Early Spring 2013"
