Music Mayhem

Music Mayhem is a music rhythm game developed by The John Studios and Harmonix and published by the latter for the The V²  on August 7th, 2021 in North America, and October 2nd, 2021 in Europe.
==Story==
In the year 2055, due to a gigantic scandal, the goverment decided to ban music all along in order to avoid lawsuits and controversies, resulting in many people giving up their music career forever. 16 years later, a group of musicians from around the world are gathering up their power of music to stop the responsible for the banning, but only the chosen one has the power to unban and defeat the CEO of the goverment Dokusai, and that girl is Jam.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay is very similar to other rhythm games like Guitar Hero. The player must press buttons on a game controller in time with scrolling notes on the game screen to complete a song. It has a meter similar to the Rock Meter from Guitar Hero, except when filled up, it will attack the opponent based on the character you choosed to obtain massive amount of points and double the scoring multiplier for a long amount of time.
===Modes===
The main mode of Music Mayhem is Story Mode, where the protagonist Jam must defeat all of the opponents in order to reach Dokusai and peform one song, raging from easy to extremely difficult. Defeating an opponent will unlock it along with three songs based on the character and earn money in order to purchase costumes, additional songs and visuals for the battle screen. Another mode you can get access is Listen Mode, which is basically Quick Play, except it can only play unlocked songs. You can still choose which character you can play with Private Mode, where you can read all of the character's bios.
Multiplayer mode is identical to the one from Guitar Hero, so there's not much to say about it, except you can battle up to four players for one song.
