Music plays a big role in game industry.
Guitar Hero is a great example of a successful music game played with a plastic guitar replica which is connected to Wii.

Music may not be presented through visuals but it has deeper meaning in its sound.
Instead of playing a real guitar, now people can press on the appropriate buttons to create music.
Depending on the performance of the player, the music can sound very different.
Judged based on how fluent and continuously the player perform, competition grows.

Imitation, formalist, and emotionalist theories could be related to music.

It is obvious that songs deliver messages through lyrics, beats, melody, and mood.
Depending on how the player performs the music, the mood can boost or contrast the meanings.

In various songs, the lyrics could have extreme words but they help to visualize the seriousness of their hate or anger.
Shouting and screaming, imagining a crazy guitar solo will be soon inevitable.
And that, is the duty of the guitarist, our hero.
Fortunately, not all songs would contain hatred or anger.
Many songs deliver delightful and happy message across.
Emotionalist would say the effort that guitarist put into each note would help the song emphasize to emotionally appeal on the audience.

Each music is unique and every music have their own meanings.
The true beauty of game has been combined with the music and this shows how the gaming industry has evolved into.
Video games started off with basic computer soft wares controlled while barely moving the entire body.
Guitar Hero is an evolution of gaming industry and gaming is now done physically and emotionally.
