There is a part of me that misses the heyday of the music-rhythm genre. Only four years ago I was able to get a group of friends together and just rock out with a microphone, plastic guitar, and a drum kit. Now in 2012 the genre has collapsed in on itself. My entire kit for Rock Band now lies in boxes across my home, relics of an era that dissipated not even two years ago. However, in the past years few smaller titles have been resurfacing in memory of this long lost genre. Rocksmith is the most notable of these, teaching players how to accurately play a guitar with an actual instrument. Another game; JAM: Live Arcade Music, seeks to teach people how to be a re-mix music.

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.
