Fret Nice
Fret Nice is a 2-D platformer that will rock your world. Control your character through funky-fresh stages to explore hidden areas, collect items, and clash note-for-note with outrageous heavy metal bosses! Rock out by blasting enemies with riff combos and creating your own sounds with each "strum" of a chord! Every playthrough offers an ever-changing sonic adventure.
Key Features:
- Audio dynamics: Notes you play in Riff Combos are in tune with the current key of the stages' songs, allowing you to play along with the action.
- Facial attribute system: Enjoy this fun and visual way to interpret riff combos. For example, if there are three eyes and two tentacles on an enemy, you have to "strum" three of the same notes and two other notes that are the same in the riff combo. When a note is played in the air, a Riff Combo will be activated to help defeat enemies.
- Online leaderboards: The scores from each level played are posted on Xbox LIVE leaderboards. Keep playing for the highest score and beat the competition.
- Character customization: Choose your character and customize the hair, clothes, and instruments.
- Unlockables: As you play through the game, new instruments and customizable items can be bought.
