The New songs are Moderate. The New Cut scenes are cheesy and low quality (even compared to the originals) The Sound Quality is much lower then the original. The Multiplayer does not work (and I can't even host my own server) And, to top it all off, all my progress was lost from the original game... Overall, this is a great series but this game is trash. They should be working on a part 3, not some cheesy "Directors …

This game is a beautiful homage to Chopin's legacy. TLDR: Guitar hero for piano/keyboard based on Frederic Chopin's masterpieces. Director's Cut version has two extra levels and includes Multiplayer. In this game you play as Frederic Chopin who has resurrected to defeat the scourge of modern music. In the game you face-off against various genres of music that have based themselves around his masterpieces by using …

Frederic: Resurrection of Music is a rhythm game where you play a resurrected Chopin engaging in musical duels with modern musicians from all over the world. More than half the gametime of around 1h30 (at easy) was cutscenes, but at least they were silly and amusing. Reminded me of Europeran comic books by the art style, which was appealing. No subtitles and they would have been useful to decipher certain accents. …

Take "Guitar Hero" but exchange the guitar for a piano, then instead of rock music, use classical and finally add a pinch of "Parappa the Rapper" and you end up with Frederic: Resurrection of Music. Oh yeah, and the voice acting is horriffic. Like, you know when you have a European cartoon and then it is dubbed badly into English, yeah, it's much worse than that. Fun game for the nimble fingered amongst you though.

Great music game similar to Guitar Hero, but with a piano. This new edition features several new songs to the main campaign, all very enjoyable and characteristic unlike most of the songs from the original's sequel. So more of the same! Haven't been able to start a multiplayer match yet, but it sounds interesting. It needs better UI though, and it seems like you're only able to join random lobbys, not create your …

73% of the 118 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Frederic: Resurrection of Music Director's Cut. The complaint that keeps coming up: awkward keyboard controls and steep learning curve. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

If you don’t know Chopin, you can read about him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Chopin But if you already know about him or even like his music, then there is no need of reading the Wiki page and you can go into the game right away and enjoy the music. This game is much like Guitar Hero, played not with a guitar but a piano. You use…

There are plenty of typos in the English version, and I would have much preferred to play on a touchscreen. Perhaps I just needed to find better key bindings to set.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game. I keep coming back to it, because it has great gameplay. STEEP learning curve: the game expects you to master nine keyboard keys AND remember the rhythm of each song. But once you get it, the game is great fun. Solid cutscene animation and funny characters keeps the gameplay from getting dry. Works really well on ubuntu linux desktop versions. Also, be aware that there is a "Directors Version" on steam, sold separately, which seems to have additional features. I think it has…

The story begins in France where Frederic is buried as he is resurrected by three muses who give a simple task, free music and after that you travel around the globe fighting people in musical battles to get one step closer to restoring music.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Director's Cut is, at BEST, two extra song/stages over Frederic: Resurrection of Music. The Director's Cut isn't terrible compared to the other version, just inferior. I got the game while it was 90% off, and I do feel it's worth 59 cents. It would've been better as a DLC to add the two new songs to the original game. I couldn't try the multi-player. It takes too long to get into a game unless you have a friend to play with. The global stats for the game suggests that there have been just…

neutral · AI labelView post →I thought people were over exaggerating about, "Oh it's difficult to play on keyboard.." And me being a fan of rhythm games thought, nah I can probably play this easily, but I was totally wrong. Where are the notes supposed to stop at, I can't tell if my accuracy is good or bad?? It was certainly confusing at first. The music is good, art has good colors, nice sounds, gets boring very quickly. I don't really recommend this game...

Dickinson / Lazar and Henrique / Samanski have points as pairs too. So what I’m saying is we need Dach from Bouchard and Frederic from Nurse goals in game 3, then McDavid scores 8.

Technically it's the original game + a DLC. The 'owners' -90% disconut was a fair price for an 'upgrade'.
