JAM Live Music Arcade is the newest music rhythm game to get in on the action. Except it's not your traditional Guitar Hero-esque game where you're trying to hit as many notes in succession as possible for the highest score imaginable. We all saw how dull that formula got. JAM Live Music Arcade let's you be the DJ, producer and band leader by letting you remix any one of the 32 licensed songs to your heart's desire.
You'll have a plethora of sounds and effects at your disposal to make each track sound exactly the way you want, which can all be done through the guitar peripheral you already own. If you're not feeling creative, you can always play the songs through the traditional arcade mode. I've heard a lot of people over the years clamoring for this exact kind of experience, so we'll see if JAM Live Music Arcade is exactly what people want to satisfy their creative impulses when it comes to XBLA and PSN "soon."
I dunno. Other music games that aren't your Guitar Heroes or Rock Bands have never really taken off, and something tells me this is trying to drive off the success of electronic music. For what it is, I don't really know if it has an audience in console video games.
