Virtual Air Guitar Company has released new material and details about their upcoming title Air Guitar Warrior for Kinect. The game claims to be part music game and part scrolling shooter and is all sorts of weird.
In addition to rocking out and shooting bad guys while riding a dinosaur, viking ship or flaming meteor, players will be able to control the music itself. Look, it’s a game for the Kinect, a “thing” that Microsoft hasn’t even mentioned in years.
The guitar fires when the player strums with the right hand, with different fire modes depending on the speed of strumming. Moving the left hand along the guitar neck changes between rhythm and lead guitar. Advancing in the game unlocks bend power, where the player can bend backwards to unleash destructive rapid fire.
The lead guitar in the soundtrack responds to each of these 5 fire modes. The creators of the soundtrack, Mika Tyyskä / Mr. Fastfinger and Samppa Siurala, recorded multiple variations of the lead guitar for every track.
But the best part of this entire thing might just be the Microsoft tagline that is on the end of the trailer that states Air Guitar Warrior is an “Xbox One exclusive.”
