OK, the game itself isn't that bad. Despite the cheesy graphics and goofy storyline, the music is actually OK.
My bad review is on the instrument peripherals.
The airstrike drums are completely frustrating and UNfun. They don't register hits half the time. You're not actually playing drums, you're striking the air with the drumsticks. The IR sensor has to be exactly aligned with the drum sensors and you have to "shake" it to get it to register the hit. It definitely does not feel like you're really playing drums. Do yourself a favor, use a Rock Band drum kit.
And then the "real guitar." It really is technically a real guitar, that you can use to play this game. But it's mostly a gimmick-don't expect to actually learn how to play guitar. This is a rhythm game just like guitar hero, except you're using a real guitar with strings instead of a plastic guitar with buttons.
The only addition is the option to play "power chords". The game uses a whopping TWO power chords-one uses two fingers and one uses one finger-and the fingering is exactly the same no matter where it's played on the fretboard. A monkey can learn how to do that.
Actually playing the song with the power chord option, I did not find to be very much fun either.
If you want to learn real guitar skills I suggest you get Rock Band 3 and buy the pro guitar peripheral.

The game says it is compatible with other controllers, but to get the full effect of the game you should use the stringed guitar. I could use it with my gutiar, but it did not work well.Buy Power Gig: Rise of the SixString (Game Only) Now

It is a fun game but pretty difficult. I thought I would be pretty good because I can play a mean regular guitar hero guitar but I found it to be very difficult. You deffinatly need tough fingers. It comes with a pic. I bought it for my 12 year old son for Christmas. He doesn't play it much. I think he would rather play the original guitar. It does work with all of the Rock Bands and Guitar Hero Games. I do also like that you can hook it up to an amp and use it like a regular electric guitar.
