O2jam, DJMax, AuditionSEA, Beatmania IIDX, Rock Fever, Guitar Hero
If you've heard or played one of these games, chances are you'll fully understand what I'm talking about in this post.
There's a niche market in the gaming industry with hardcore fans around, IMHO it is also a method to help guitarists, drummers and keyboardists to keep on sync with the music.
Rhythm action games requires the player to hit a button adjacent to the beat and sound within a song continuously. Accuracy based on each individual note is judged loosely or tightly depending on the game. Beatmania taking the hat for the tightest accuracy and reminds a musician just how in sync he is with the sounds being played.
Personally, I feel that rhythm games have it's benefits to musicians in a way that can't be seen clearly. It wouldn't hurt to try downloading an O2jam emulator and try acquiring 99% "COOL" in a high difficulty song. These results can tell how well you will actually play to songs in a recording session which require your playing to be "Clean".
