Frederic is a Windows Phone game that has you traveling around the world with the legendary composer Frederic Chopin as he is resurrected to prove that his music is still tops and save the music industry.
You get to battle opponents from the piano keyboard from across nine global locations. Think of Frederic as being a little like Guitar Hero but played from the ivories of a piano. In just tinkering with the trial version of Frederic, the game comes across as a fun way to pass the time with and most importantly, it is our myAppFree Deal of the Week (a savings of $1.99).
Frederic is filled with colorful animations and comic book transitions. Game play has you playing behind the keyboard with notes from several of Chopin's classical hits drifting down from the top of the screen. It's your job to tap the corresponding piano key as the note hits it. Hit the key too early or too late and the piano tune takes a turn for the worse.
The game has four difficulty levels (Too Easy, Normal, Hard and Chopin) with nine worldwide locations to compete from. If you aren't a fan of the comic book transitions, you can always tap the screen to skip them. But I have to admit, they are well done.
Game play does have a fast pace and will keep you on your toes. The animated background during game play can be distracting, adding to the challenge of game play. Overall, Frederic makes a nice first impression and if you've been on the fence about buying the game, now is your chance to save a little.
Normally priced at $1.99, through the myAppFree Deal Frederic will be free for the next 36 hours. The game pulls down a 4.5 Star rating in the Windows Phone Store and we can see the appeal.
