VIDEO GAME SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROMOTING MUSICAL ARTISTS AND MUSIC

摘要

A video game system (10) is configured to play a music-based video game in which an artist's music is incorporated into game play. After the artist's music song is played in the game, the system presents information to the gamer for promoting the artist's music and/or brand, and the system provides the garner with opportunities to participate in various promotional efforts associated with the artist. As an example, the gamer may be presented with an opportunity to purchase the song or songs played in the game (or other songs by the same artist), request that the artist's song or songs be played on the radio or that the artist play in concert at a nearby venue, to like" the artist or song in a social media environment, search for additional songs by the same artist, or to go to the artist's website or social media page.
