This is an casual game I enjoy to play.
Audiosurf can best be described as a cross between the futuristic racer
Wipeout and
Harmonix's first music game, Frequency. Rather than play a simulated instrument, you use either the keyboard or mouse to move a futuristic craft left and right on a moving, floating track. Each track is unique because it's generated by analyzing the music that you've chosen for that particular track. You can pick any MP3, M4A, or
WMA file (among a few other formats) that doesn't use digital rights management. Slow parts of songs go uphill and the track moves slowly, while faster song segments go downhill and the track moves extremely fast. There's no doubt that faster songs are the most exciting and the best for points, but part of the fun with
Audiosurf is to see what kind of track a particular song will generate, so slow songs still have a place in the game.
The game is
available on steam for only $10 but if you are too much of a miser you can find the full game on torrents. (I am not
recommending this)
Edit: This game is only $2.97 this week on steam
