| Found in | Work cat: 2015048052: Music video games, 2016: ecip galley, (games such as those from the Rock Band (Harmonix) and Guitar Hero (Harmonix) series are certainly considered to be music video games, but many other games in this genre are not as cut-and-dry. Broadly defined, music video games are those in which the formal elements of the game (rules, rhetoric, dynamics, etc.) are musical in nature. This musicality is apparent when the most meaningful interaction with the game is musical; for example, players interact with rhythm games such as Guitar Hero or Rock Band by pressing a colored buttons in rhythm to the music heard. Nonetheless, there are also puzzle games, racing games, and "endless runners" that are just as musical; Beyond the physical, haptic interfaces of the game, music video games feature various forms of interactivity that divide this genre further into subgenres. These forms of interactivity can be boiled down simply to matching, making, mixing, and metonymy)
