CheatCC says, "Power Gig: Rise of the SixString should have been the beginning of something wonderful for the music genre, but instead it is something tragic."
"It is such a bad game that it makes other games in its genre seem that much better." ~ Blake Morse
"As ten minutes listening to any Top 40 radio station will tell you, timing is far more important than talent in the music business. If Led Zeppelin was just arriving on the scene today, they’d be lucky to open for Katy Perry. Rhythm action band game Power Gig: Rise of the SixString is another great example. Three years ago, its licensed soundtrack and creative guitar and drum controllers might have made it a player. But its timing is awful and it’s here now, far too late to become legendary. In fact, it’s more Justin Bieber than John Lennon in the talent department, too."
Neocrisis: Power Gig dev Seven45 Studios did not go into detail regarding the number of staff being laid-off, apparently it was due to the cycle of game development and a re-focus on future projects.
