Digital games today are available in different genres with role-playing playoffs topping the list. A participant in such a game generally assumes the role of the character involved, thus acting in a fictional setting. There may be several participants in a game and the player plays the role of all in turns or managing all at the same time. Again he may play the role of the protagonist, one amongst the many participants. There are role-playing games wherein only one participant plays the role and the rest turn out to be enemies or groups against the role-player. In case of a handful of participants, most players keep track of the developing fiction by noting them down so that they play till the end without interruption. Experiencing an adventurous and daring life outside the bounds of humdrum and a stress-oriented life is possible with such role-playing games, and hence the demand. Role-playing games may be available in retail stores or online or one can play it via the medium of iPhone and pod.

One game that is all geared up to be launched this holiday season is the Roadie. This guitar based rhythmical game is more that what the musical iPhone and pod offers. Here, the player plays the character of the Roadie, and in the course of the play, experiences a programmed environment – he is the world's last ray of hope to save it from hordes of alien enemy robots. The zing that drives him forward is guitar music, an original rocking metal music, and as he fights against the robots in multiple stages, the music turns more head-banging than ever! As a player, as you strap on your guitar, you will just tear up your way through action-packed levels. Here are some of the features and roles:
• Combination of heavy metal rhythm and side-scrolling fast paced action
• An all-original metal soundtrack at the base rocking your head and heart out
• Each successful strap on your guitar pilots you to fight against another enemy robot
• Slowing down will see your performance ranking go down
• Laziness during the play turns the setting hostile; spiky walls seem to chase you
• You guide the Roadie; i.e. you play his role of a penniless savior of the world
• Experience a bizarre world with multiple stages of play no matter your skill levels of the guitar
• With every achievement you get performance rankings.
