If you have played Guitar Hero, do you know that there is a free version of this game for PC?

Frets on Fire

Well, its not exactly the real thing but its quite close and its FREE! Developed by Unreal Voodoo, it features songs from Guitar Hero, Rock Band & lots more! And you can download the X mod version also known as Frets on Fire X which allows you additional functions like changing the theme (ie. look of the game) and you can download themes like Guitar Hero or Rock Band if you wish to feel like playing the real thing.

Installation is easy, just like any other PC program. Geetar Freaks is an excellent source for additional themes and song packs which you can download and perform like a ROCK STAR!

Now comes the weird part : instead of a guitar controller, you use the keyboard. Thats quite a funny sight unless you invest in a guitar controller for the PC. LIke the one here.

UPDATE : You can use the controller from PS3 version of the game for this PC version. Just plug in the wireless receiver into your USB port and press the button on both receiver and controller to sync. Then go into KEY MAPPING OPTION in the PC game to map each button to the controller’s button. It works, I have tested it. I think the same can be done for the drums as well.

For XBOX360 version, I think the same can be done as well. Just try to get a PC driver for XBOX360 controller (GOOGLE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND) and install it. Then do the necessary to sync the controller with wireless receiver and then do the buttons mapping.
