Today, Midway Games announced that they will distribute PopStar Guitar in Europe. The XS Games title features songs from pop groups like 3 Doors Down, Simple Plan and Blink 182. Due in November 2008, PopStar Guitar will be available for Wii and features the AirG, which connects with the Wii Remote for an "air guitar" experience.

"The popularity of music rhythm games is at an all time high, but to date the games have primarily featured hard core metal, classic and alternative rock music," said Steve Grossman, chief executive officer of XS Games. "With popular songs from today's top pop artists, PopStar Guitar is a game the whole family can enjoy. We've also created a dynamic new air guitar game play experience with our AirG peripheral for Wii, allowing players to have a blast as they unleash their inner pop star."

"PopStar Guitar is perfectly aligned with the mainstream console demographic and the genre performs particularly well in Europe," said Martin Spiess, Executive Vice President - International, Midway Games. "We believe that Midway's dynamic marketing approach will ensure the game is one of the year's successes."
