Music Games
Taking Center Stage
Music games have been incredibly popular since they rocketed into the mainstream in the mid-2000s. The appeal of titles such as 2005’s Guitar Hero and 2009’s DJ Hero was so huge, it even drew in people who weren’t typically gamers! The root of this wide appeal was the immersive experience of truly becoming a performer.
Players of titles like Guitar Hero didn’t just use an ordinary controller to hit the right notes and deliver a flawless performance. A variety of controllers styled as instruments were released alongside the games. This meant that you could feel as if you really were taking the stage as you played. There was a huge selection of controllers to choose from, namely:
- Several different models and types of guitars,
- Drum kits,
- Microphones,
- Even miniature DJ decks!
Coupled with the impressive library of songs available to play, the Hero series of music games defined the genre and is still iconic to this day.
No More Barriers to Entry
Music games and their explosion in popularity weren’t without their drawbacks, however. Like learning to play music in the real world, simulating the experience virtually came with a hefty price tag for the full package. Alongside this, you would need a fair amount of space to properly store all of the instrument controllers you’ve picked up for your jam sessions.
Even beyond just the initial price, constant updates and new generations of consoles made cost an even bigger problem. Music games, especially the Hero series, would very frequently release music tracks as downloadable content. As well as this, streams of new instruments were released overtime to offer more variety in styles of play.
In the end, simulating the experience of playing music became almost as expensive as learning how to play in the real world. Since that time, solutions to these problems have been developed in the form of online browser games!
