Digital Praise has announced that they are introducing a new guitar game called Guitar Praise that'll give fans of Christian music the chance to play rock star with family-friendly music.
Tom Bean, President and CEO of Digital Praise, Inc., says in the press release, "People love the console guitar games on the market, but many would like more family-friendly songs and graphics. Guitar Praise gives kids, families and youth groups the play features they like best, plus some new twists as well as the best Christian rock titles out there today."
As I've been reminded before, I don't know much about video games, so take my opinion about this with a grain of salt. But I think I'd like to see the company offer something that works with the wildly popular Guitar Hero to get the Christian music into the mainstream, rather than come up with a totally new game that segregates Christians even more from the rest of the world.
I'd love your thoughts on this, especially you Guitar Hero fans who want Christian music for the game. Would you rather just have a whole new guitar game for Christians, or Christian music for Guitar Hero? Is there a way to have both?

Hey guys,
I absolutely hate to say this, but the Heavenly Harmony Gold graphics look like a cheap knockoff of Guitar Hero's (see link).
Chances of me buying this game? Next to none.

Alex, thank you SO much for sharing your thoughts! I've depended on your input, LOL. I know some people have liked the game, but some haven't, and your feedback is always helpful.
Thanks a bunch!!

Why isn't anyone developing a Christian song pack for RB or GH? I don't see why we need a separate game. I'm sure Harmonix wouldn't be interested in producing it, but won't they allow third-party song packs?
Hi Joanne, I'm probably the oldest person into gh @ rb. I have both game's and even with jimmy hendrix on ghwt i astonishingly still prefer rb because to me it's cartoon graphic's look more real. not as cartooish. Yes i've seen guitar praise on a site that looked like utube. It is missing the musician's, room's,stages that they play on and i've emailed them and unlike gh @ rb who isn't talking to anyone i've allready recieved a very kind reply from them. Yes they're a small company and dont have the resources to make a full blown game to match/compete. To answer the question of mixing religious music with secular. Hey isnt religion part of life. Thank god were still living in a free country and i think for now if they could pull the resources they should make a game that can be played on the bigger game boxes not just the computer. Personally though i feel the secular side has a lot more good rock & roll than the religious side but then i quit listening in the mid 70's. I remember "resurection band",chuck gerard and love song,larry norman, amy grant, Barry mcguire, phill driscoll, angelica,and petra,mathew ward and day spring. resurrection band was the closest to real rock and roll than any of them. I think that's because of the war over the music going on in the chuch back then. How sad. But hey! know what. I gave my heart to jesus when i was in elementary school, and "i know it's only rock & roll, but i like it" and i'm rooting for "digital praise" who designed "guitar praise". remember if you go back and read up on the history of this game, the original name was "rock revolution" which got started 15 year's ago in either japan or china. Gh has only been around since 03 in this country, and rb has only been here for a year & a half. So give "guitar praise" a break. I believe they're only 6 month's old. Anyway, thank you for your time. It would be nice to hear back from you. Curvetail.
Here it is in action!
