Said about StepMania as an alternative

is is based on DDR if you know that rhythm game, so it is a very good alternative

I think StepMania is a good alternative to FFR because its the next best version of FFR.

StepMania is also a good music game that can be adictive, and is for desktops, unlike most music games.
