JAM Live Music Arcade will allow you to remix and re-create famous songs

Happen to be an aspiring musician, but find the lack of true music making games disappointing? Zivix is hoping to change that with JAM Live Music Arcade. Essentially the game will allow you to dust off those plastic peripherals you have lying around your living room, or pick up a plain gamepad, and start jamming.

You'll be able to take part as the lead guitarist, bassist, drummer, singer and synth player, and provides players with a deeper connection to the music, rather than relying on the high score. The game will include hit licensed songs from bands like Fall Out Boy, Modest Mouse, Rise Against, and more, and will be able to remix and recreate them any way they choose, giving pure musical freedom.

Vice President of Zivix Chad Koehler stated:

“JAM Live Music Arcade builds upon years of our music experience and some of the successes we had with previous iterations of the JAM franchise, but takes it to an entirely new level allowing creative freedom and a closer connection to the music,”

“The world loves music, and this product provides immediate accessibility in a totally new way. If you’re looking to jam out, turn the living room in to a live show and experiment with a near-infinite bank of sounds, effects and rhythms, then this is the experience for you. If you’re interested in a more traditional follow-the-leader type of play, then we’ve included the Arcade Mode just for that purpose. With the great songs and artists we have and the wide variety refreshingly creative different play modes, JAM Live Music Arcade is the breath of fresh air the music gaming genre needs.”

Features of JAM Live Music Arcade include:

  • Allows the player to experience music in a different and creative way by controlling and remixing all aspects of the song – it’s an entire band in your hands!

  • Players have complete creative control over the music and are rewarded for their sense of timing by getting into the flow of the music and beat

  • Featuring 32 tracks from major artists to top-touring indie bands designed specifically for the JAM platform, JAM Live Music Arcade offers a wide variety of musical stylings

  • Compatible with any of the millions of gaming guitar peripherals on the market today

  • JAM’s Arcade Mode not only engages a new type of follow the leader pathway and gameplay style, but also incorporates more controller actions from an up-strum to the whammy bar, creating even more of a challenge

  • Dynamic visuals respond to your every move, ensuring your visual jam is just as unique as your musical one

  • User created content: Create a mix, replay or challenge it in Arcade Mode

The game is set to release later this year on Xbox Live Arcade, so music enthusiasts, keep a lookout!
