BandFuse: Rock Legends, Realta Entertainment’s music game that makes use of real guitar and bass, is now available in stores for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game, originally announced early last year, ships with a USB cable that also plugs into the 1/4″ jack on many electric guitar and bass instruments, and makes use of in-game animated tablature to challenge players to recreate 55 various songs, ranging in genre from rock to metal to punk and funk.
