Phase Shift is by far the most comprehensive "knock off" Guitar Hero. Blows Frets on Fire and Clone Hero out of the water.

Netplay, multi format support. Etc. All previous game charts are available in formats compatible with Phase Shift.

Clone Hero has netplay in the public test builds and wider format support than FoF (CH supports .chart format and afaik is the only significant 5-lane guitar/band game to do so).

Phase Shift also unfortunately plays like complete ass, especially on guitar.

The entire Guitar Hero community has pretty much shifted to Clone Hero, with a few diehard fans who still mod GH2/RB

It seems to be abandoned and unavailable. They switched over to Early Access on Steam in 2019 or so, but it's now not possible to buy it there, and there's been no sign of the devs for a long time, now.
