It's quite a fun game...I'm pretty awful at it but playing obscure songs makes up for that on the scoreboards :-)

I'll post a video tonight or something.

NO U!

On a more serious note, it more or less depends on your music collection (fun and sync :P).

Overall, I had fun. Amusing game with trippy visuals. But if I was to nitpick, it needs moar sauce. Moar dynamic track, moar hax!

Try with goa or techno. Or stoner metal (electric wizard + audiosurf = omg why am I still playing this sober)

some music is really trippy and good for the game

and all the mods make it quite diverse and it isnt a simple point grab like i thought

i play ninja mono now and picking everying colored block isnt always the best idea theres alot of strategy involved all this whilst the screen is zooming and u feel like ur on drugs..

Its one of the best/most fun reflex games out there (if not the best) and has a ton of replay value plus u can listen to ur faiv tracks :]

I was totally disappointed with this.
okay, so the tracks elevation reflects the intensity of the song, and the tempo of the drumbeats effect the speed and points value of the paddle things but beyond that it hardly feels like its linked to the music at all. the background dosnt really reflect the music, there is nothing that seems to be happening along to the beat and like kdr said the timing of the paddle seems totaly random to that of the song- and I have tried it with everything from slow guitar music to hardhouse. im just glad i pirated it first,

Ivory King did you happen to play Amplitude or Frequency for PS2? Same basic principle but its a fixed song set and the controls are setup differently... the gameplay is more akin to the Guitar Hero series than Audiosurf.

It was...eh.

Kinda neat, but...it's not really a *game* so much as a "ooooooh...shiny..."
