In this game, which is a Guitar Hero clone, you use your keyboard to 'Rawk Out'. The game comes with 3 songs, but there are all kinds (hundreds) of songs made by the community. You can also download the songs from Guitar Hero, and use the controller with it. When I get home, I'll clean this post and add Images/Links/ etc. (school now D;)

I don't really get those games. People spend so much time getting the hand eye coordination for their fake guitars when you can easily take that same amount of time and learn to play a real one...baffling o.0

I play both (I've played real guitar since I was about 7) and I can play most any song on expert on GH and the like, and it bothers me when people compair the two. They are very different and just share a name. 

Well obvioussly 1 is just pressing buttons based on the buttons you see on screen, and is just a game. The other requires skill, it just seems to me that people spend a lot of time to playing a pretend guitar (which is kind of what theyre doing) when they could spend the time trying to learn to play a real one :P. Other than that I could understand little kids playing it cause its simple and flashy with music. While it may be a bit like saying well why am I playing WE when I could be learning guitar, there is a bit of difference as in GH they are pretending to play a guitar o.o. Anyways, I see your point as well as mine so I shal shuffle off now.

Actually, I think (mostly with easy songs) GH like games are actually harder than playing the real thing. And in the time people spend playing GH, they couldn't become the next jimi hendrix or van halen, they would just be medeocre guitar players with sore fingers. Not to mention the price difference between GH and a real guitar ( I have at least $3000 in real guitar stuff, while I've only spent about $70 on GH).  GH is a fun way to pass some time, good for relaxing with some friends, seeing as anyone can just pick it up and use it, and if you are good at GH, then good for you.

Playing real guitar is cooler than playing GH, and you feel more of a sense of accomplishment when you actually learn a new song or find a new riff than you could ever feel playing guitar hero. but my point still stands, GH is a fun thing to do, and if you enjoy it, do it. 

And for GH being simple, look at any Dragonforce song on expert.  : P

Ahh but simplistic and difficult are two different things :P. I do see your point though, well many points. When you boil it down GH is more like a kids game while the real guitar is for people who want to learn it, and hey, who here dosn't indulge in kids games :P.

 I still play pokemon.

Ahh Pokemon was after my time Magic the Gathering here. But alas, were straying from topic. Was a nice chat though. From the original post it seems like FoF is just a mod, seeing as it's compatible with the original, a good mod though. Keyboard ftw!

P.S. Van Halen pwns.

 FoF is especially nice seeing that it is FREE!!! and not really a mod, seeing as you don't need GH, its more of a freeware remake.

Since I'm a large computer geek, I actually played FoF before I played GH.  Well... geek status aside, mostly the fact that I couldn't shell out the funds for a new game. 

But it was quite nice seeing a game like FoF that was linux compatible on the market that had all the GH songs, but some that weren't even available on GH as well.  Not to mention I could get away with just using my keyboard. 

FoF is a great game for being free. One of the best. But to play this game the best way possible, is downloading tons of mods. Then there are the songs, they make some of them impossible o.o 

Exactly, I tryed this game, but it stunk. I didnt feel like downloading any custom songs or mods. The best ones though, are the ones that make is look like actually GH3, and the one that turns the board black, to reduce lag, and all you see is the frets. 

I have the mod for FoF that makes it look like rockband or GHII. It's pretty cool, and it's free.

Played it for a day.. got bored the next day... 2 days later i deleted it :3
