As a MASSIVE fan of episodes 1 and 2, I'm sad to say this 3rd installment falls flat on it's face in a big hill of steaming hot doo doo. So WHY!? 1. The beats feel way off, pressing the keys along with the tune now will never yield a red or "perfect" score, instead you must wait and fall behind the beat to get a good score, which makes the gameplay feel out of sync with the music. 2. The new piano layout makes it difficult to see when a note is in the right position (tune doesn't help keep the player on beat either for the above mentioned reason) ADDITIONALLY, there is no setting to revert the new layout to the old for players who might prefer the more readable style. 3. The music is bad, not holistically, but bad in terms of the example set in the previous titles, every song felt very similar and every opponent was just another wigged gentleman with a lightly different beat. The game felt like a chore and there is little to no user feedback along with each song. 4. THE BONUS NOTES. ...

this is not as great as the other games just play those ones and dont touch this one only good level was mozarts SMH SMH! not worth suffering through all the elevator music remixes to see chopin drive off with hot babes in a porsche literally fuck this game! i saw the pepe at the end too this is just awful my god THEY SWITCH CHOPINS VOICE ITS SO AMERICAN NOW..

The latest game from this famous series of music games. Frederic fights a devastating robot from the future to save the music. The game has kept its charm and great music from the previous episodes. Unfortunately, it is quite short for this price and I'd personally recommend getting it at some decent sales discount.

Sorry, but no. Previous games were funny, even when you have no musical education. This game has no easy and difficulty raised. First level on normal already not casual.

It seems that when you release a piano key and there is a note following shortly after very quickly in succession for that same key, that when you let go and try to hit the key again, the note sometimes fails or the piano key just goes down up down up... while holding the key this is noticeable. Another problem for me was that it was difficult to figure out where the notes needed to stop in order to count as a perfect note. The very small hitbox on the marking for that split second that the note is active is very difficult to nail.. So the 100% perfect notes on a level achievement is going to require a lot of luck even for a skilled player. I suppose someone with time on hand can write a macro to do it though, if they really wanted to. That's how the previous Frederic game with that achievement had to be completed. Only 8 levels at a $10 price tag and it took me 55 minutes to complete the game (Having watched all the scenes without skipping.. And on hard mode.. Of course I replayed...

They forgot to put a story in the game so the whole thing feels pointless and short. Not nearly as good as the first two but still worth it for the music alone.

Ah yes. A music/rythm game with no option to turn down the sound. Anyway, pretty fun.

TL;DR - It's the weakest of the three so far and feels like a rushed game. If you want it, get it on megasale. Compared to the previous two, yes it's very weak. But on it's own it's weak too. There's way less story elements, less character interaction, and the change in Chopin's voice actor was jarring and just not clean in execution. Really felt like it jolted us from song to song without much in between which was part of the fun quirkiness of the previous installments. The input system is *rough* in that it's very difficult to read exactly where some of the notes are. If this was my first Frederic game, I don't know if I'd have a fighting chance at reading it well. A lot of the music felt like it was lacking the flair and energy from previous games. There was more than one that was excessively repetitive and the difficulty is significantly lower now. I was bummed there was no "Chopin difficulty" after completing it on hard.

i would love to recommend this game to people cause i love beat game and i love the first two games but sadly i cannot this one just doesnt seem to add anything special the first two had great and amazing music pieces and actually felt challenging (spent atleast 2-3 hours on the final boos of episode 2) but this one as you can see by my time played was a breeze and i just ran through it all like nothing and everything felt samey there was no distinction no life if you asked me did fred save the music in this one sadly the answer is no

The story feels rushed, the voice acting is terrible, the purple attacks interrupt the main gameplay, the dialogue is lackluster, Chopin doesn't even get a chance to have a personality, I didn't even really understand what was happening until almost the very end, the UI is unfortunate to say the least, and for $10, it is incredibly short. I would've rather bought DLC for the second game than this.
