Was playing the SVR 07 playlist while trying to get the right notes. I quite enjoyed it.10 found this helpful
Frederic: Evil Strikes Back, developed and published by Forever Entertainment S.A., arrives as a sequel with a clear sense of identity—whimsical, theatrical, musically expressive, and a little absurd in the best possible way. It continues the surreal premise introduced in the first Frederic game, resurrecting composer Frédéric Chopin and sending him back into a modern world where music has been commercialized, homogenized, and spiritually drained. This time, however, the stakes are raised as Frederic confronts a new wave of artificial, hyper-produced pop music threatening artistic authenticity. The story, presented through comic-book-style cutscenes, leans into parody with earnest enthusiasm, poking fun at celebrity culture, global music trends, and industry clichés. While the writing and voice acting are intentionally campy, their exaggerated delivery supports the game’s playful critique rather than undermining it. The core gameplay remains a rhythmic showdown between Frederic and various musical adversaries across multiple countries. Each stage is framed as a duel, with players matching incoming note patterns to outperform the opponent and overpower their manufactured tunes. The…2 found this helpful
Vivid graphics and a fun rock mechanic make every battle lively. you feel like a true hero even when faking on the dancefloor. great for those who love jokes and music. keeps you grooving and laughing all the way!
The equally forgettable sequel. More of the same as the first game, iirc, with even less to say. If it had anything to say at all. Skip this for a good indie rhythm game, like [i]The Metronomicon: Slay The Dance Floor[/i]. If you want to see what this or the original game is like, and how frustrating both are to play, check out [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgQNPdP7JoY]LoadingReadyRun's ancient stream[/url] of it.

I did somewhat of a speedrun of this game. Played the first one years ago and realized I’m old now and fingers don’t move like they used to. I skipped all the cut scenes because it was an achievement, but the soundtrack is really catchy, and a couple are still in my head. Fun game.
