Oh those funky music games. They seem to be all the rage on all of the major game systems today. Guitar Hero and RockBand are some of the best selling games. Not just because they have some amazing tunes you can listen to, but also because they give you the very real feeling of actually being in a band, playing your favorite instrument of choice and jamming to some of the best tunes out there.
So popular are these games that even both the Sony PSP and the Nintendo DS have their own version of Guitar Hero and / or RockBand available for your musical pleasure. But what people don t know is that there have been freeware versions of these types of games available for a long time.
If you own and R4 DS Card for the Nintendo DS or DSi console, you can actually have a choice of several music games, absolutely free to use and play. One of my very favorite ones, though there are several, is a game called Video Games Hero. Based on a Guitar Hero style interface, the game uses the touch screen of the NDS and your fingers or stylus to hit the right notes, at just the right time, and move further and further along in the game.
You will need an R4 DS Card in order play Video Games Hero because it is a homebrew / free game that you can download at no cost from the Internet. Just how good is this game? So good that it has a world wide following amongst homebrew gamers, with world wide leaderboards and huge challenges set up to see if you can beat the best players.
The song is filled with some amazing and Unconventional music tracks like Eye of the Tiger and the Inspector Gadget theme, that really sets it apart from the other (mainstream) music game, namely Guitar Hero for the NDS. Not to mention that the other thing it has going for it in a very big way is the fact that the game is free... Providing that you have the right R4 DS or other homebrew enabled hardware to download and play the game.
The touchscreen controls are really nice in Video Games Hero. Making your ability to hit the right note truly up to your skill and timing. It s mixed in perfectly to enable you to either use your fingers or the DS Stylus to play. And what s really neat is your ability to create and add your own music and songs to the game. Giving yourself a virtually limitless library of songs to add. And there s a large community of players who love this game that have released a good number of songs already.
If you are at all curious about Homebrew gaming, and the really amazing, and often commercial quality free games you can get for your NDS then I strongly urge you to consider an R4 DS Card. You re going to find a whole lot more to play on your NDS, all just a click and a download away.
