What players say
Frederic: Evil Strikes Back is the sequel to the first Frederic: Resurrection of Music game. It is a rhythm game which has 4 difficulty levels, making it accessible for everyone of all skill levels. Although there are only 10 levels, the music was so refreshing and I liked the challenge that the hardest difficulty gave. Definitely do not attempt 100%ing this game as it will take you out, unless you are a masochist...
1 more review, not recommended
First of all, the game principle appeals to me, these types of rhythm games are really cool and can get addictive pretty quickly. But why I can't recommend it is that the controls are really bad, playing 4-5 notes per second is too crazy, I also tried it with a different layout, but it ended up the same. It would be better to have an ASDF JKLÖ layout here, or two keys at the same time to play the semitones...
