Guitar Praise – PC Guitar Game Review

guitar games

Guitar Praise is the latest guitar game from a small software developer called Digital Praise. It is basically a Christian version of popular guitar game like Guitar Hero and Rockband. Digital Praise’s track record is very good so when they announced Guitar Praise, I was eager to see the final product. After all, faith based music is a thriving segment of the entertainment industry and it has been all but shunned by the makers of popular guitar game. Now saying all of that, ‘Christian’ games tend to not to live up to what they try to mimic for one reason or another.

The retail box for Guitar Praise looks great and will display well in stores. Inside the box you will find a small setup manual, wireless guitar with strap, wireless USB adapter and CD with the guitar game software. The guitar also has a tilt feature to activate a spinner bonus during guitar game play. In preparation for this guitar game, I attached a Windows XP computer to my high definition TV.

The Guitar Game

Guitar Praise comes with more than 50 songs from today’s most popular faith based artists. By playing through songs successfully, you unlock additional songs to play. The guitar game has a slew of features to control everything from sound to graphics to system controls. The profiles include high scores, difficult levels and the songs that are unlocked.

One of the best features of Guitar Praise is that it can be played by two players. The play options include solo play, two players with one guitar or (if you purchase a second guitar) you can play two players at the same time. This option gives the ability for one player to play the lead guitar and the other can play bass. Additional guitars can be ordered via the digitalpraise.com web site. The two player option really opens up the guitar game for family play. One thing to keep in mind, Guitar Praise will only work with the wireless guitars you get from Digital Praise. Game play is very impressive and the timing of fret buttons to on screen action is very similar to Guitar Hero and other similar guitar game. The actions that happen both positive and negative during guitar game play have great onscreen responsiveness.

Guitar Praise is a great guitar game that didn’t disappoint me in the least. It is a very addicting guitar game. The possibilities seem to be endless for future Guitar Praise versions.
