Activision Goes Medieval - Warriors of Rock Announced

As has become tradition, a new guitar controller has been planned for release alongside the game, but it's more than just a guitar - it's your weapon and livelihood. The player can change the shape of the guitar, customizing it to fit your personal Warrior of Rock. You think you know Guitar Hero? Watch this trailer and tell me if it's what you expected.

I can't see that being a problem either. Here's the new guitar customization trailer:
