Because there just aren’t enough plastic guitars and drum sets in your living room, Konami has announced Rock Revolution, a music-based video game that aims re-define the rhythm genre for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and DS this Fall.

"Rock Revolution will be the most innovative and realistic rock game to hit the market, that will provide a quality drum peripheral and music that players will appreciate," said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "As the originator of music-based games, we are dedicated to bringing fans a truly preeminent music experience. With Rock Revolution, we put the emphasis on the drum kit, delivering an experience unlike any other."

Rock Revolution features an extensive music selection on the game disc, along with a wide variety of downloadable songs available at launch for the 360 and PS3 Versions. The Wii version uses interactive controls with the Wii-mote and Nunchuk for an air-drum and air-guitar experience, while the Nintendo DS version, uses the stylus for intense rhythm matching sessions.
