Guitar Hero on PC? No, it is Frets on Fire!

If you like playing guitar (even air guitar) you've probably seen the Guitar Hero game for Playstation 2. If you are brave enough you may have tried it in the computer store when no one was watching...

If you liked it but you don't have a PS2 (or don't want to buy guitar controller) it is your lucky day. Just today I have downloaded Frets on Fire, free game for PC. You guess it, you are playing guitar. What is interesting is how you are supposed to play it.

Check the suggested pose for playing. The only thing I am missing is the strap for keyboard. If this is not enough to get you interested check the feature list. Here are my favourite features:

• Includes a song editor for making your own tunes
• Compete with others on the World Charts
• Supports importing Guitar Hero™ I and Guitar Hero™ II songs
• Multiplatform; runs on Windows™, Linux®, Mac OS X™ and FreeBSD®
• Open source, full Python source code available

As you can see game is feature rich and it is fun to play. Don't miss the tutorial (and learn about the significance of the ESC key).

Bye now, time attach the strap to my keyboard and start shredding...
