Guitar Hero succeeds because it's not just a beat matching game. A keyboard means no strummer, no whammy bar and no motion-detection for star power either. There is a project called Freetar that is in the works. The editor has been released (allowing one to edit songs/make new songs) but the game portion is still in Alpha I believe. http://antonstruyk.com/freetar/index.html -matt Frets on Fire plays with a keyboard rather than a guitar though, which doesn’t seem nearly as fun.

It also has the advantage of people being able to add their own songs and scores. http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/uv/fretsonfire/ There is a free version for Windows & Linux, Frets on Fire, that has been getting some positive press of late.

I so like trying it out in the stores but have to sigh because I can't bring it home. Wish they’d get the thing off of being just a PS2 game.

Me, my eyes start to cry after 6 minutes of focusing my eyes in the screen to avoid missing a note. Even with that I found it quite fun to play and even more to see somebody playing.
