Guitar Hero & Clone News


 There are many new products available mimicking the remarkable Guitar Hero game. Are they up to the task?

  You can check out that new Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker in the Media Room. The brief video shows the small belt buckle device. You'll also find an Associated Press video review of Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band (which looks amazing). For more in depth information, see the News Center .

  The new Guitar Wizard combines a real guitar with the video game - which means you are actually learning to play a guitar while gaming. More information available in the News Center.

 Frets On Fire is an open source freeware Guitar Hero pc clone that has several advantages/disadvantages. The disadvantages are it isn't as stable, pretty, nor is there any warranty of any kind. The advantages are:
  • freeware means it is totally FREE
  • open source means program is being constantly customized by large user community
  • constantly expanding (currently HUGE) song library
  • your existing Red Octane (most guitar hero) guitar controller works perfectly (minus the whammy)
  • the ability to add your favorite songs to the game
  • low pc hardware requirements
 The Frets on Fire section contains links for to the Frets On Fire forum where you can download the program, any mods (learn to mod yourself), songs (learn to make your own) and meet a bunch of  Frets On Fire (and Guitar Hero) fanatics.

 Red Octane has entered into a partnership with NAMM ( the Internation Music Products Industry Trade Association). The "Wanna Play" campaign promotes the playing of real musical instruments. Further information is in the News Center.
