    Fret Nice's downfall is that it forces the player to repeat the same few levels far too many times. The game does have some fresh ideas and its art style is very charming, but the cons nevertheless outweigh the pros. Also, the guitar controls are horrible. [May 2010]

    A great soundtrack and unique art style can't save what is ultimately a failed experiment.

    It's all quite charming, but not enough to elevate it to an above-average adventure. [June 2010, p.85]

    Without doubt, Fret Nice has some good ideas, some cool presentation and is a unique concept, though it tries to force too many things that make the player less (rather than more) comfortable.

    I find it hard to recommend this game on sound and art alone, for those are the only areas where the game succeeds

    Fret Nice is a quirky game with a lot of style. Unfortunately, quirky is not enough.

    Your guitar will gently weep for this frustrating platformer.
