Neocrisis: We had the pleasure of getting a few questions answered by Chad Koehler about Zivix Interactive.

Music gamers are now able to jam out on the just-released JAM Live Music Arcade, a music game for the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network developed by Minneapolis-based gaming/tech company Zivix. What sets JLMA apart from other music games is that it lets you remix songs by letting you play and control the guitar, drums, vocals, synth, FX, and a bunch of other musical instruments.
Prior to the the game's launch, Gamerai interviewed Zivix's vice president Chad Koehler via e-mail to find out more about JLMA and its remix feature. Koehler also shares his thoughts about the current state of the video game music genre and what can be done to help improve it. But, most importantly, above all else:
Will JLMA make you summon a nightmarish monster from the dark depths of the abyss? Wait, what? Don't worry, it'll all make sense in the interview!

"Zivix Interactive and Big John Games announced today four new amazing re-mixable tracks available for download for their hit WiiWare™ live music creator game, JustJam! The new tracks include Lipps Inc.’s disco classic Funkytown, as well as artists Cloud Cult, The Summer Set and Donnie Klang." -- Wiiloveit.com

"Even with an adequate feature list, it was obvious to me that Just JAM just wouldn't be able to take away what Digital Leisure worked hard to secure. Still, even if you're obsessed with Mix Superstar months after its release, Just JAM may be worth your time." -- Wiiloveit.com
