Me either, but it sounds awesome. I wish the industry would do more to give recognition to unique titles like this.

Do you just go into every thread just to bash PS3?

Oh by the way this is for PC.

I love the game, downloaded it last week, and believe me, I have tried lots of games these days, but Audiosurf is the only one that keeps me coming back for more, unlike most of the recent mainstream titles. I hope xfire supports this game in the next update, I wanna see how many hours I'm playing :P.

I honestly didn't expect this much response :o.

This is, though, you have to accept, more a game for a music lover than a game lover.

Yeah it's pretty fun, tried the demo on Steam and will prolly buy the full version too. Guitar Hero meets a futuristic racing game with puzzles and custom sound tracks, I played it on 360 pad so it had rumble and everything too ..for 10 bucks it's hard to turn it down.

We need more games like this (and Beats on PSP). I wish Activision would have custom soundtracks in Guitar Hero.. although they would probably lose out on their precious DLC revenue and future sales..

That really will change things. I've never played it myself, but watching this video of the game being played to "Cautionary Warning" by John Sykes... it looks pretty frantic.

Well, yeah, that's more intense. It's "Through the Fire and Flames". It doesn't get much crazier than that. Still, I like "Cautionary Warning" more, so that's what I posted. "You are my instigator, you are my agrivator, you are my space invader..."

-Spock-

More games with custom soundtracks = yes

Guitar hero/rock band with custom soundtracks = no

Honestly the placing of the notes in guitar hero is what makes the game, I honestly wouldn't think that this is an easy thing to replicate with software or a community driven effort.

Looks like the PC has the most interesting games so far in 2008. Between Audiosurf, Sins of a Solar Empire, and Savage 2, it's been good times lately.

Sadly, this week Fontlines looks like it's not going to hold up in reviews this week or be an interesting game for that matter.

By the way, it's only $10 and if you can type without your computer freezing you can probably play this game.

BTW, everyone can play Audiosurf, and if you like YOUR own music, which you obviously do, I highly recommend it. It runs on just about all PC's.

Here's the link to STEAM for all those interested:

Here's a good quality movie of the portal song in action:

It comes with it no matter what, and for some reason it gave me 93 half life songs.

I think it comes with all versions, because I didn't pre order and I have the soundtrack.
