I heard of this game a while ago but this week it popped up on 'Steam' that it was on offer for just $2.49!!! so I decided to indulge, I mean heck even if it wasn't good, what's £1.20 for a bit of entertainment?
Audiosurf is a game that allows you to insert your own music into the game and play a long to it. The game analyses your music and uses this information to inform shape, sound, colour, and speed to make each race truely unique. To add to this each song has a top score board, which means that you still want to play a level over and over to get better and not just for curiosity.
I've played it a bit and I think it's a really decent idea, though the racing doesn't really go to a beat like you'd expect. It's all about collecting certain coloured cubes, so it still really is more of a game appose to some of the simulation experiences such as Guitar Hero or DDR. However as the music gets faster, so does the track, as it gets more dramatic, the colours heat up. So you still get the rushes of andrenaline and excitement in co-ordination to your music. It will never get old because there will always be a new track to play to! Genius.
Pretty nifty and well worth the money really. If you can get on steam, I'd definately reccomend it while it's on offer. Usually it will set you back $9.99 (about £5)
