JAM Live Music Arcade
SCORE: 69
When I first heard about JAM Live Music
Arcade, I thought here we go again. Another music game that is going to
glorify foul mouths, and obsess over sex. One for two is not too bad.
JAM Live Music Arcade does not try and give us that Rock Band
experience, or even the Guitar Hero experience. It feels more like the
DJ Hero experience mixed in with the Guitar Hero experience.
JAM Live Music Arcade lets us use a regular Xbox 360 controller or one
of our old video game guitars. Sorry no motion sensitive controls. Which
would have been very interesting. We have various sections on the board
that can be turned on, and each of them have various sounds that can
also be turned on. The montage of sounds is what we earn from a little
exploration.
JAM Live Music Arcade encourages the players to explore. Find the sounds
that go together. I found by going wild and crazy on the buttons I
earned a higher score. In fact I could get gold medals with this method
on a regular frequency. Which lead to boredom on my part. All that was
left to me in JAM Live Music Arcade was unlocking content and listening
to the music.
You had better like the songs in JAM Live Music Arcade or it can be a
miserable experience. I found very little in the musical catalog that
fit my personal musical tastes. Another problem is very little in JAM
Live Music Arcade starts out unlocked. We have to go through plenty of
songs to get to ones we may actually be interested in.
Families will need to pay close attention to the sexual content, and
lyrics in JAM Live Music Arcade. I like to read the songs to see what
opinions, attitudes, and ideas the songwriter is trying to pass along.
Do I agree with those ideas or not? I will leave the discernment up to
you. I will also leave the judgment up to you.
I thought JAM Live Music Arcade was going to be horrible. I came away
pleasantly surprised. JAM Live Music Arcade is not a perfect game, but
it does try to being something different to the table. JAM Live Music
Arcade also helps us recycle our old video game guitars. Which is nice
since most other companies have forgotten we shelled out all that money
for them.
