What's new

Digital Praise, a Christian software developer, has created a guitar-controller computer game that allows people to play along with more than 50 songs from Christian bands. The computer game Guitar Praise, inspired by the best-selling video game Guitar Hero, provides song lyrics and follow-along musical "notes" on the screen. The game is scheduled to hit Christian bookstores this fall but will also be available on Amazon.com. "People just want good clean fun," Valerie Banks, a Digital Praise sales rep, said Monday at the convention center.

Sounds like I've found my son's Christmas present.

This brightens up my day so much.

Is it for major consoles like the Wii or is it like that new "air guitar" game?

The Schaef · « **Reply #6 on:** July 18, 2008, 09:21:55 AM »

It appears to be PC-only, like their Dance Praise titles.

I just hope it doesn't stick as much as Dance Praise did. I was an avid DDR enthusist when Dance Praise came out and it was such a disappointment. I sense the same thing will happen here.

I think Redemption is the only attempt to make a Christian version of a secular game that hasn't been cheesy.

/agree

Colin, I actually agree with you. But I really hope this one isn't cheesy...let us know, Bryon!

Chronic Apathy · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2008, 02:40:29 PM »

It's not that it's cheesy, it's that they don't have the funds to make it successful. Guitar Hero has millions of dollars backing it to make sure the guitar itself and the game are of upstanding quality; Digital Praise doesn't have the kind of funds to make this game amazing. I'm not writing it off completely yet, but I don't suspect it'll be good.

The Schaef · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2008, 06:12:35 PM »

Many people consider Ark of the Covenant to be an excellent standalone version of Carcassonne, it's roughly equivalent to having the base game and the first couple expansions folded in. And scoring fields is considerably easier :p

Bryon · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2008, 06:16:32 PM »

And I like Setters of Canaan for its quick setup and cool look. It isn't cheesy by any stretch.

As for the Dance stuff, I thought the Veggie one was OK. My kids like it. My nephews and nieces got the Dance praise one, and it seemed ok, too. Not amazing, but OK. I am not very familiar with the original DDR though, so I am not going to try to compare them.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #14 on:** July 27, 2008, 12:36:56 AM »

DDR is WAY better.

Also, notice what all 3 of the cheeseless games have in common? Hint: they're found in deserts and come in variants like the prickly pear and saguaro.

goldcharizard · « **Reply #15 on:** July 27, 2008, 01:48:42 AM »

yeah atleast dance praise was not as big of a flop as the Left Behind game for p.c (Shudders then buys all reamaining copies and buries them in the desert.)

Lozo777 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 29, 2008, 04:33:54 PM »

Man, This is great news. I've been waiting for a game like this for a long time, Lets just hope it's not a crap game.

Agreed, there are several games that aren't cheesy, Settlers, Ark, Victory, Redemption, etc.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #23 on:** October 04, 2008, 03:32:20 PM »

Well honestly the system for GH is pure awesome, so hopfully it will either work like GH or have an awesome revolutionary system.
