Giant Bomb Video Game News
Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS
Added by Jeff Gerstmann on Aug. 27, 2008
If Konami&squot;s guitar game ever got big in the States they could have called this "Jesus Freaks."
So it's with some trepidation that I gaze upon a pre-order page for Guitar Praise: Solid Rock, an upcoming PC/Mac product from your friends at Digital Praise. Could this all be a devious trick? What happens if I play these songs backwards?
The game sounds like a pretty standard Guitar Hero clone with over 50 songs that reflect Christian values, online scoreboard support, support for two players (complete with a lead/bass split), and four difficulty levels. Also? The guitar is wireless. You know, provided these guys went and got the masters for all of these songs and split them apart so that the guitar stops playing when you stop playing, this looks like it's about all of the features you could possibly want out of a Christian rock game.
Here's the song list for the game. By putting DC Talk's Jesus Freak in the game the developers have... well... they put I song I've heard of in it. Congrats?
- 12 Stones - Broken
- Bride - Same Ol' Sinner
- Caedmons Call - There You Go

I've heard of Flyleaf, but that's about it. I really am finding this hard to believe right now.
I can't believe this game is real! Weird.
I'm a big fan of Relient K, but I find it a little odd they're on here. They are pretty much your standard modern alt rock band not christian rock. Just have a few christian influences in a few of their songs. Haven't heard of anything of the other people though.

I've only heard of 3 bands on there (12 Stones, Flyleaf and Skillet). 12 Stones might be a hard stretch to call Christian rock, particularly some of their newer stuff.
Of those 3 bands, 12 Stones ain't bad and the Skillet song they actually picked are decent too (though I probably wouldn't say the same for their whole collection).
By no means am I a Christian rock person either, but I had these CDs through my Zune subscription already.

Its funny how they classify these bands as Christian. Sure some of them are, but in interviews with some, flyleaf for example, they clearly said they are not Christian, they are musicians that like Rock and Roll and believe in god. So yea...I don't see how that makes them Christian rock.
The title of this article is amazing.
Also, some decent bands and songs seem to be on this list. Sounds like a pretty good alternative for those who like to rock out to Christian rock.

Newsboys is the only band I've ever even heard of before on there. Eh, well good for 'em. I'm sure there's an audience out there for the thing.
I was wondering how long it would take for something like this to happen. I am shocked it took this long.
I'm not going to rip on the game because of what it is. I have no interest in Christian music but I do applaud the fact that now that audience has something to enjoy in this area too.
And let's be honest, nothing can be worse than the overcharted, hard-just-to-be-hard Guitar Hero III.

Interesting. Kudos for actually reporting on this. I'm not huge into Christian, but there are definitely some good bands on that list. My problem with this is it being for the PC/MAC. BLEAH. Gimme X360 and I may rent it for some achievements. ;)
I love some of the wording in the ad for this game...
"But watch out: if you can't keep up, the artists will take a break and stop the music." not You Suck ... or FAIL.. but "the band is taking a break right now while you find your way" ... Awershum
Also if you look at related products and check out the blurb about the Guitar...
"Power Duel mode also lets players send "surprises" that impact their opponent's play." ... no attacks here... but hey SUPRISE!!!... lol.

OK, reality check time. Can anyone tell me if any of this is actually happening? I've got a loose grip on reality after hearing about this upcoming 2D digitized fighting game.
