Nothing particularly new here, other than the fact that its free. But that is a pretty big difference.

All the songs are also free. You don't have to get special versoins like Aeromith or Beatles to get their songs.

How familiar are you with Guitar Hero and Rock Band? You seem to be under the impression that this is the same experience, just free. It's not. Either that or this is just another chest thumping "PC is superior" thread.

It's not the same experience at all, however the products are diferent in quite some ways. One is free, the other one comes with the peripherals right there. The biggest difference is that FoF gets all its songs for free, not the 99 cents price tag on the Rock Band songs, which also are the songs the developer decides to put out. Meanwhile FoF has just about any song mapped, and if it isn't mapped already you can map it itself for everyone else. Also the lyric support is currentl very meh in FoF (but supposedly getting updated in the upcoming release along with online MP and other godies). I won't lie, no one in this dorm shelled out the money for GH5 so we still play World Tour/RB and the music creation tool in World Tour is very meh compared to what FoF offers.

Now just plug it into your TV and put a lil extra work at getting proper peripherals and you indeed do have a superior product. I'm thinking of figuring out a way to get these thing to work on the PC hooked up to the TV so we can all play, well minus the singer.
