The interface is heavily influenced by the Guitar Hero games with circular notes instead of the rectangular ones found in Rock Band. It was developed in Unity by “some idiots,” their words, not mine (select Credits from the main menu). So, after a bit of googling, I turned up on Clone Hero.Ĭlone Hero is, as the title suggests, a clone of Guitar Hero. I remembered being introduced to Frets on Fire years ago, but I think that was more or less its own thing and was made to be played with your computer’s keyboard. I’m pretty sure there was an official way to import Rock Band songs into Rock Band 2, but beyond that, you had to switch game discs if you wanted to play other songs. I knew there must exist a project that tried to do the same thing for them-compiling all of the songs from the many games into an easy and free experience. This immediately made me think back to Guitar Hero and Rock Band. StepMania is obviously based on DDR, and the community has released packs that contain the songs from many, if not all, of the DDR and DDR-like arcade and console games. What he was playing, I think, was actually StepMania, a free dance rhythm game for PC, Mac, and Linux. That was until I watched The Completionist stream Dance Dance Revolution on Twitch. The developers stopped making these games a couple of years ago, and as console generations came and went, they kind of fell out of my mind. My inner 16-year-old still harbors resentment from when they sued Napster. Well, except the Nintendo DS version because it looked lame, and not Guitar Hero: Metallica because fuck those guys.

Back in their heyday, I bought practically every Guitar Hero (and later Rock Band) game that came out. Guitar Hero is not a game I’ve thought about for quite some time.
