Frets On Fire: Free Guitar Hero Clone

Frets on fire
I am, the fan of music and amateurish musician and I always sadly looking to Guitar Hero that is released on consoles only and I am not console owner (well I own SegaDreamcast, Mega Drive = Genesis in the USA and NES , but I think that Guitar Hero will not be published on these platforms :)) and I always look forward to find some clone of this great game. One sunny days I’ve got echo from my friend who found it, I download it and startlovin’ it.

The game is in fact very similar to the original Guitar Hero game in both visual and game play perspective. Main difference is in controller: there is no guitar controller, of course, and you must play it on the keyboard only. It is not too bad as it looks, but I recommend to set up your keyboard settings, the original F1 to F5 keys is not so comfortable to me and for, probably, most gamers. I think that hacking the original controller from Guitar Hero to work on PC will be easy job similar to hacking pads for Dance Dance Revolution game.

The game don’t include famous songs like Guitar Hero and come with just three songs, but if you spend some minutes to search the web you can find a tons of GB songs that satisfy your needed. Original songs came from authors of this game and especially one if quite good, the good one don’t include any description that you can’t miss it ;). The rest two is not too bad,especially if you like the metal or slow bass songs.

The best thing is that this game is completely free. I have another good news if you don’t use the Windows: you can download the Linux andMacOS version too. You can download this game from authors web page and you can find additional one bonus track too (I try this song one time only and I don’t like it, but it is up to you).
