Fret Nice is a unique platform game with a distinct art style, a lot of great music and support for all guitars controllers out there. Fret Nice is the first platform game ever to be played with a guitar controller. The game will be available from Xbox LIVE Arcade sometime in early 2010.

“We felt sorry for gamers who bought a guitar only to be used for pure music games, so we made a platform game for them! Fret Nice is the perfect blend of two worlds.” says Pieces Interactive CEO Johan Hellberg.

Pieces Interactive is an up-and-coming Swedish developer that has quickly garnered attention to their titles. Their unique style and innovative game mechanics, blended with great music has become a signature trademark. In fact, at E3 this past Summer, Tecmo Inc (the creators of such hits as Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden and Tecmo Bowl) announced that they would be publishing Fret Nice from developers Pieces Interactive.

“The game industry is under a lot of stress, we have to differentiate our products against the competition. Fret Nice looks and feels like nothing else!” says Johan.
