Anyone seen the screen shots for this yet? Oh my they are terrible. The graphics are just plan awful. You guys on here make way better graphics for FoF than Guitar Praise has.
http://www.guitarpraise.com/screenshot_gallery.phpOh man I hope that they release a new version soon with better graphics. That just makes my eyes bleed. I was really hoping to get a copy for our church youth group, but I wouldn't think many would play it when they compare it with Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
On the plus side they do have some cool ideas for competitive multiplayer though. It might be nice to see a few of these things added to Frets on Fire. And yes I know that the DS version of Guitar Hero has some of this. The spinner thing sounds like their take on Star Power or the Star notes in GH3, or some combination of the two. Here's a quote from the website.
• Spinners help you gain more points. The Spinner is a falling note that is spinning as it falls. Spinners appear in groups, and if you miss any of the Spinners in a group, the remaining Spinners in that group revert to normal falling notes. If the last Spinner in a group is successfully hit, it flies up, off the screen, and you are awarded a Spinner Bonus. You may hold up to four Spinner Bonuses at a time. Activate your Spinner Bonus by tilting your guitar. This causes your Multiplier to double and your score will increase.
• Power Duel Mode sends surprises to mess with your opponent. Power Duel mode is similar to Duel Mode except that the Spinner Bonuses are replaced by PowerUps. The PowerUps can be used to get an advantage over your opponent. There are 7 PowerUps:
• Invisibility – causes your opponent’s target zone to disappear
• Minus – causes your opponent’s play to subtract from his/her score
• Speed – causes your opponent’s notes to fall faster
• Smoke – causes a cloud of smoke to hide your opponent’s target zone
• Broken Fret – causes one of your opponent’s frets to break, it must be pressed several times to be repaired
• Whammy – causes your opponent’s fret buttons to stop working until they press their Whammy Bar several times
• Blast – takes away all PowerUp from your opponent
By the way the game is already out now, and its available if you know where to look online. Not that I am suggesting anyone do that. ???
Now a side question based on how it looks. You don't think they might have used a modded version of Frets on Fire as the basis for their game do you?
