Music Video Games takes a look (and listen) at the popular genre of
music games - video games in which music is at the forefront of
player interaction and gameplay. With chapters on a wide variety of
music games, ranging from well-known console games such as Guitar
Hero and Rock Band to new, emerging games for smartphones and
tablets, scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds discuss
the history, development, and cultural impact of music games. Each
chapter investigates important themes surrounding the ways in which
we play music and play with music in video games. Starting with the
precursors to music games - including Simon, the hand-held
electronic music game from the 1980s, Michael Austin's collection
goes on to discuss issues in musicianship and performance,
authenticity and "selling out," and composing, creating, and
learning music with video games. Including a glossary and detailed
indices, Austin and his team shine a much needed light on the often
overlooked subject of music video games.
