JAM Live Music Arcade
tosses away the tired, mundane way of yesteryear’s
rhythm games in favor of a new take. Making the music your own,
JAM
is “one of the most innovative, complex and
rewarding music experiences you can find,” according to
XboxAddict.com,
scoring 88 out of 100. With
today’s new DLC drop, Rise Against, Jaytech and
Heatbox’s music is now available on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for
the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft and PlayStation®Network to take this solid experience
to the next degree.
The third single from Rise Against's seminal 2008 "Appeal To
Reason" album.
Featured on Above & Beyond's 'Anjunabeats Volume 9'
compilation released in 2011.

"I Love To Loop" by Heatbox - $.99/80 MS Points
A fun beatbox mix full of organic sounds all generated from a
human voice produced from the ground up for
JAM Live Music Arcade
.
“There are a ton of well executed ideas at work here that
allow almost anyone to not only remix songs with an in-depth
editor, but to get a new appreciation for the art as a
whole.” –
Capsule Computers, 8 out of

“Like an aging rockstar who has been called back into
action, it’s probably been awhile since you last picked-up
and played your Rock Band or Guitar Hero plastic guitar. Developer
Zivix gives a pretty compelling argument as to why you should do so
with JAM Live Music Arcade.” –
Brutal Gamer, 8.5 out of
10
“Jam mode is definitely where the heart of this game lies,
and with its infinite possibilities… it is something that
can be revisited again and again.” –

JAM Live Music Arcade
is a completely new approach to the music genre with a
real-time live music sandbox “JAM Mode” that allows the
player to immediately build and customize their very own tunes, as
well as a bonus “Arcade Challenge Mode” that plays
similar to traditional music games. Starting with any one of the
30+ licensed songs featured in the game (including hits from Modest
Mouse, Fallout Boy, Fatboy Slim, Owl City, Rise Against, Atmosphere
and more), players jam with and remix all aspects of the song
– guitar, bass, drums, synth and vocals – to experiment
with the song and re-create it to their own personality. All of
this is done with any one of the numerous compatible guitar gaming
peripherals – the entire band is in your hands! Accessible
and easy to get started, yet deep and almost endless to master,
everyone can touch real music across a broad range of sonic tastes.
JAM Live Music Arcade
offers an immersive level of musical interaction
that’s inspiring, powerful and contagious.
JAM Live Music Arcade
is one of the latest additions to Reverb
Publishing’s growing roster of titles, which includes the
massively successful
Dungeon Defenders, the recently released
Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad, the upcoming
Sanctum 2,
Primal Carnage,
Ravaged,
Black Knight Sword and much more. For more information
