Family Force 5, Relient K to Appear in Christian Knockoff Version of 'Guitar Hero'

Anything successful usually results in copycats ... and "Guitar Praise" is a perfect example. What is "Guitar Praise" you ask? Well ... it's like "Guitar Hero," except it will only include Christian music!



"We see it as another fun way for kids to spend time together and have a positive experience with positive content. We've attempted to be careful and respect other people's products and create games of a similar genre but solely created with our programs and programmers," Tom Bean, President and CEO of Digital Praise, Inc., told Fox News.

According to Digital Praise, whose tagline is "Glorifying God Through Interactive Media," the game will cost you $100 (a second guitar is an extra $70) and will be available on September 25 in the U.S. for both Mac and PC. Bands like Flyleaf, Relient K and Family Force 5 will have their songs included in the game, which contains features such as: four levels of difficulty, onscreen lyrics and a chance to earn new guitars with 'cool sounds and effects.'

Do you think "Guitar Praise" is a great idea for a video game or does it promote the segregation of different religions? Discuss the issue in the comments section!

That's actually kind of awesome. Though I wasn't aware that Flyleaf is a Christian band.

There's no cuss words in guitar hero anyway.
I was most annoyed about the beep in The Devil comes to Georgia in Guitar Hero 3.
