Rock Band!

Rock band allows players to perform in a virtual band by providing up to four players with the ability to play three different peripheral modeled after music instruments. These peripherals are used to simulate the playing of rock music by hitting scrolling notes on-screen (Wikipedia).

Getting a physical in body experience while playing gets you in the mood as a player to listen to music. With all the music being rock, it gives the audience an incentive to listen to that music as well as listen to it in the future with purchases of a variety of rock artists that appear in the game.

In the game, there are a variety of different modes of playing. One I found interesting is Band World Tour Mode. It allows you to form a band with others via the Internet. You can create logos and your character and then “play” in a variety of different cities throughout the world. It is making a world wide audience with this game and shows how interesting rock music can be.
