The Basics of Rock of the Dead
Rock of The Dead from UFO Interactive and Epicenter Studios is not made by some super high profile publisher, but reminds me of the creative atmosphere of a family of develops out to make a good, fun game and have fun while doing it. The core team of 16 developers put in blood, sweat, and tears, met with testers off Craigslist, and went out to create and enjoyable experience for the average guitar wielding gamer, something I truly admire not only the spirit of, but the ingenuity behind making something different.
Rock of the Dead is a definite change of pace from the repeating rhythmic songs so many players are used to. It’s a Rock action game with a lot of the in-game music coming from White Zombie/ Rob Zombie and some rocked out versions of some well-known classical pieces. In the game you start out as meteors fall about you and your grandpa’s trailer park. In the midst of you headbangin’, you discover creatures that come from the meteors are turned to instant green goo from the simple sound of the notes you play on your guitar. it’s a very easy game to pick up and start playing, no real instructions necessary.
