Challenge:
The game maintains the same form of challenge as Guitar Hero as where you can select the difficulty except there are only three options easily,medium, or hard one thing to consider when first playing the game is to go to the game options and alter what buttons on your keyboard equal frets in the game. The main reason I say this is because not only did I not know what the fret and pick keys were but the keys that were the frets were the same as the keys that decrease your brightness leaving me to think that my mac glitched out.
Replay value:
When it comes to replay value I'm not sure how well this game could stand up cause although this game can be as captivating as GH or RB the small song library that come with the game just make you wish that you were up at your tv playing the deeper more vibrant song selection on the consoles,rather than playing the poor man's version on the internet. Most of your game play may go into the writing of frets trying them out, and showing them of to your friend who won't care.
Game play
It relies entirely upon it's Guitar hero-esqe gameplay since the story in this game is non-existant Aside from the tutorial stage were you get the basics told to you buy a supposed Norwegian professional guitar player who's name and ego is longer than this review.He also likes to point out how much you must suck since your having to listen to the tutorial,thanks a lot jerk!
Graphic sound
This is really where it becomes obvious this is a guitar hero rip off from the choice of flame details Littered through ou the games various menus and the fret board itself. The three songs that come with the library mostly sound catchy but sound like something you'd find in a generic anime. as i was playing the game I found that you were playing the backup guitar tis is fine except that the lead guitar can some times be louder than the back up making it more difficult to play and trowing off your sense of rhythm.
Controls
The game does well to capture sort of controls that GH and Rock Band had. However the keys to press can become confusing but they respond quickly and the game feels relatively smooth and fun. Along with this the game gives you the ability make any song you have into a frets on fire song this mechanic work ok But it is up to you to create the notes to hit while the song to play. So depending who you are this game may be a blessing or a curse.
Special feature
The game's main shinning point is that you can play guitar hero or rock band on your computer. Also to go along with it you can have complete control over the creation of your favorite songs into FOF form which could be with practice a nice little time waster .Other than that the game really doesn't have many more features than that to my knowledge which i find a bit of a let down.
My Own Input
If I were to change certain gameplay elements it would have to be how you import your song choices. Because when I attempted to create my own song found that it showed me a list, a list I had no knowledge of before and what I got was mr Norwegian man breathing and I had no idea how. what it should have done was cause a separate window to appear like in itunes to import Songs to your library.This would make creating your own songs much easier.
My conclusion
This game relies strongly on the fact that ou tried this out because of Guitar Hero or Rock Band. But even so this game was enjoyable and maintained the the challenge,gameplay and feel of RB and GH which is a feat of it's own. All and all this game isn't bad but it's not awesome mainly because of it's small library of songs but you still get more than you payed for... which is nothing.
