  Frets on Fire

  Despite very minor flaws I recommend it to anyone looking for a free game!

  by: Random2 on 06-Aug-2007 01:12:58 AM

  Pros: It may only come with 3 songs to start off with but you can download songs from GH, GHII and GH: Rock the 80's! I made a modification for personal use, only using the best songs from these three games, added CD's on menus. Also i combined a mixture of mods to get a balance of good performance and nice visual!

  Cons: A bit laggy at times, espically when trying to record your self playing! Those system requirenments are absoulte rubbish IMO. It says that any Open GL card with 128MB RAM is sufficient! In fact I recommend a minimum of 512MB and a minimum of a ATI Radeon 9200 or equivelant because of the memory leaks that are apparent.

  This game really rocks! Better than Guitar Hero + you can make your own songs!

  by: Lixom... on 21-Jul-2007 03:47:42 AM

  Pros: I love everything about this game, the cool layout for instance, it's much better than on Guitar Hero. It also has every song that is on Guitar Hero 1 and Guitar Hero 2, plus a few songs chosen by the creators. You can also create/import your own songs. You can play it in Windows, Linux and Mac. I've been playing this the whole week. It rocks

  this game is pretty cool, it lagged a little on my computer, but its alright.

  by: alex_pantera on 26-May-2007 08:25:59 PM

  Pros: I like the fact that you can put songs from the game 'Guitar Hero 2' onto it, and how you can modify the 3 songs that are already on it. This game is actually kind of addicting.

  Cons: i didnt really like the lagg. your computer might not lagg though, mine just may have not enough free space for it to run correctly.
