... that Fret Nice is a side-scrolling platform game that uses a guitar controller? Source: "This is immediately apparent when trying to perform even the most basic movement with a cumbersome guitar controller, which becomes so frustrating that you end up wanting to smash it like Pete Townshend before you finish the first level. " [1]
- ALT1: ... that one reviewer said that players should try using a guitar controller with Fret Nice "to gain a new appreciation for a traditional controller"? Source: "t is worth using a guitar in Fret Nice initially, if for no other reason than to gain a new appreciation for a traditional controller. " [2]
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Sophie Whitehouse
- Comment: This is a super weird indie game that used Guitar Hero-type controllers in a Sonic or Mario type of game. Definitely think the guitar controller angle is the way to go here, if we need more hooks, I can pull some.
