"Good Game, Especially With Mods"
Pros: Good Game, great emulation of Guitar Hero style gameplay on PC. Especially like the fact that you can create your own songs, and download other peoples to test yourself
Cons: Does have some compatibility issues and occasionally crashes, but Mods on the Frets on Fire Forums fixes most of these, and also enhances Gameplay.
Summary: This game is brilliant once you stabilise it with a mod or your own programming.
Its also great that you can use GH controllers with it, despite the stability and compatibility issues. - See all 20 user reviews Write review
