Jam Sessions – Sing And Play Guitar

Jam Sessions – Sing And Play Guitar is as close a simulation of a real guitar as the DS will allow. The set-up is fairly simple. Notes pass across the top screen, while the DS’s touch screen is used for strumming. Simultaneously the D-pad can be used to play chords, with the L button working as a shift button to further open up the range of chords. The game comes with an extensive tutorial, so non-musical DS owners can effectively learn the principles of the guitar straight from their DS. Bundled in is a range of guitar pop for players to strum along to, while others might prefer to use it to put together their own arrangements on the fly. A virtual tool set provides even greater depth, with players being able to pre-set and customise a range of different effects. It all comes with a wide range of visual options, too. There are 60 different background and colour templates as well as eight different strum animations.
