We don’t have many music games on PC, so this is something like a small miracle for me. There have been quite a huge madness about Audiosurf recently, but I think, that it is righteous for sure. Although there are many bugs in Audiosurf, it’s still a great game.

I don’t think I must describe this game for you, but if there were somebody who doesn’t hear about it yet - Audiosurf is a music game in which you must ride a spaceship on the generated track. And this track is not generated randomly, but the game read a song you select, finds rhytm and tries to find all instruments too. You can use MP3, WMA…well, almost every normal music format including classic audio CD or music loaded in your iPod.

You can say, that game principle is similiar to Tetris - you must collect colorful bricks on the track and if they are three or more bricks collected side-by-side, you get some score. Warmer colors mean, that you get more score. Of course that it would be too easy so you’ ve got some kind of stack for the bricks and if it is full and you try to get more of them, your spaceship detonates and you must wait a while. For beginners there’s a much easier mode - there are only gray and colored squares and you must get the colored ones and try to avoid the gray ones.

The system of track creating is said to be perfect, unfortenatelly it is not true. If you’re playing some kind of disco, techno, hip-hop or anything else with a strong rhytm, everything is fine, but the game absolutelly doesn’t understand classical music or soundtracks. It has problems with guitar music too. However you can still play, but it’s quite annoying, if the track isn’t corresponding with the music at all.

Great thing is the way how’s the game using e-mails. If you’re holding a world record and somebody gets a better score, you get an e-mail, that tells you about it. And it’s pretty motivating!

I love music so I really appreciated this game. If you have a while and you want to play something original, you like music, Audiosurf is perfect choice for you. You can download a demo via Steam and if you’ll like it, full game is quite cheap, so I think it’s a good buy:o)
