Fret Nice is a platform game developed by Pieces Interactive AB and published by Tecmo. The game was released on Xbox Live Arcade on February 4, 2010, and PlayStation Network on February 24, 2010.[1] The game was designed to use a guitar controller, but can also be played using a normal gamepad. Players control the "Vibrant Chords", a rock band duo, as they traverse side-scrolling stages while avoiding enemies and hazards. The player can defeat enemies by strumming notes that correspond with their visual appearance, and they progress through the game by earning medals through meeting thresholds in the game.

Reviewers criticized the guitar controller control scheme, noting that the way different actions were mapped to it generally made the game difficult to play. With a standard controller, most critics felt that it was a mostly standard platform game experience that did not differentiate itself from other similar offerings.
