Guitar Rising: Guitar Hero Minus the Plastic Toy

Holy Crap. Put this on your wish list for Christmas.

If you’ve ever played Guitar Hero before, you’ve probably wondered – like others have – if using a real guitar would be possible. As it turns out, not only is it possible, but the game will also teach you how to play.

Guitar Rising, which won the Developer’s Choice Award at the Independent Game Conference, was developed by Game Tank, a San Francisco studio which is all about “games that enable players to acquire real-world skills while being thoroughly entertained”.

Coming to a store near you in late ’08.
