Fret Nice Release Date
January 2, in the year of our Lord 2010 - FRET
NICE™ harmonizes the unity between music and the 2D platformer.
As you control your character through the artful stages, you
play the game as if it were a jammin' rock song. Rock out by
blasting enemies with riff combos and creating your own
soundtracks with each "strum" of a chord. Each time a stage is
repeated, you will have an ever-changing experience. The ESRB
has rated this Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 game with an E for
Everyone rating (descriptors are Cartoon Violence and Mild
Lyrics). The PSN version of the game will be released on
2/4/2010, and the Xbox Live version is to be determined.
STORY:
The Vibrant Chordblasters have been touring the world and
spreading their unique style of music, which constantly has won
over new fans. That is, until it gets into the ears of the Hair
Bängers. They are vicious hard rocking people who, upon hearing
the new type of music, go on an outrageous rampage in disgust,
invading the whole world trying to spread their own heavy metal
music and heavy metal hair wherever they go. With the whole
world blaming the Vibrant Chordblasters for angering the Hair
Bängers, the band has no other choice but to chase all of the
Hair Bängers back to Heavy Metal Kingdom using the most powerful
weapon in the world... Rock'n'roll!
FEATURES:
- Audio Dynamics: Notes you play in Riff Combos are relative to
the current key of the stages' songs, allowing for
user-generated audio-tastic soundtracks.
- Facial Attribute System: A 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 same other note in the riff combo.
- Cooperative Play: Play cooperatively with a friend (locally)
to clear stage levels and compete with each other for high
scores. The catch is that you are connected by an instrument
cord, preventing both of you from getting too far from each
other on a shared screen.
- Online Leaderboards: The scores from each level played are
posted on online leaderboards. Keep playing for the highest
score and beat the competition!
- Character Customization: Choose your character and customize
its hair, clothes, and instruments!
- Unlockables: As you play through the game, new instruments and
customizable items can be unlocked!
- Riff Combos: When a note is played in the air, a Riff Combo
will be activated to help defeat enemies.
