TL;DR: Many gameplay issues make this game near unplayable and very much unfun. Not recommended. [b]First impressions:[/b] - Menu is a bit lacking. Pretty much no options. The game is way too loud by default and I had to use the Windows volume mixer to turn it down to an acceptable level. - Song list UI is also lacking. Only shows song name, artist and a short description. Needs at least some sort of difficulty rating and maybe a high score if the song was played before? - Guitar Hero controllers are supported. However, the support is partial. Since the game is focused on keyboard and gamepad play, the strum bar does not do anything and pressing the corresponding fret buttons is enough to hit the notes. Would be nice to have some sort of "guitar mode". - The visuals lack polish. The whole game very much has a "first Unity project" kind of vibe to it.

User Reviews
I pretty much noped out of this one fairly quickly. UI doesn't change whether you use drums or guitar, and it just doesn't look great. Can't customise controls at all, and it has ads even though you pay for it.
This game is bad it would been fine if the health bar had a way to slowly go back up but it doesn't it means if you want to get to the end of a song you better not miss any notes, no native guitar hero controller support is annoying and also why are the colours all back to front its really bad design choice specially if your used to guitar hero or rockband its fine if you never played those games before but only reason to buy this game is if you are guitar hero or rockband fan if the developer fixes these issue and added more songs too with the inclusion of an expert difficulty that makes use of orange then i could recommend it but as of right now i just cant.

Very nostalgia for me - Guitar mode and drum mode is so fun - All the song are rock and roll in my heart - I've played with keyboard and can't edit key blind now but that not a problem , i still can play with D F J K or with controller - Multiplayer mode is insane / these people never miss in ultra hard difficulty - Everything in this game is good but i hope you'll update more song and multiple key mode like 4K-5K mode (must be fun!)
