A while back, I jokingly wrote a post about Rock Band spinoffs, one of which was Praise Band.

While that hasn’t yet happened, there is a Guitar Hero spinoff - Guitar Praise: Solid Rock. It’s a version of Guitar Hero that features Christian rock songs. Wired.com has a review of the game: Hands-On: Digital Praise’s Christian-Themed ‘Guitar Hero’ Clone. The article basically says Guitar Praise is no Guitar Hero, but it tries. Some of the differences include Guitar Praise being for the PC only, it does not have characters and there is no battling the devil. It does display the song lyrics, though, so your audience can sing along as you jam.

I don’t know if I’ll ever buy the game, especially since it’s for PC only (doesn’t seem as much fun or social playing on a smaller computer monitor), but I would love to play the songs. I know almost all these songs, whereas with Guitar Hero and Rock Band and I don’t know nearly as many. I’m really surprised by the song lineup, too. There are some pretty big names for this smaller budget game. Here’s the list, some of which maybe we’ll see on the “secular” versions of the guitar/band games one day.
