ps3 games are so lame barely anyone knows about them

Its a PC game. Reading is hard children go to school.

arggh how do people not know about this game :(Makari

These so called gamers, need adverts top tell them what games are good, didnt you know?

Yep, this game is full of win. Only way you could hate this game is if you are not a music lover or just have horrible taste in music :)

ninja mono is the best imo

Could anybody give me a summary on what the gamepplay is like? From the review it's hard to make out.Greyhound222

its a racing / puzzle game that creates tracks around any piece of music you choose.

Just watch a video over on youtube.

There are several different types of modes to choose from between easy medium and hard. It's as easy as you want it to be. Mono seems to be the favorite game mode where it's only one color to hit and you avoid the grey blocks, very fun.

Allready played all 4 songs in the demo and I'm SO going to buy this!

Heck here's a pc game that even the most diehard lemmings and cows will probably like! ;) :

ONE VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:

These vids (and most net posted vids) are using "mono" character which is very different from the others. While other characters have many colors of blocks mono only has one. (greys are to avoid and are not present on other characters).
So other characters are way more complicated and deep.
Each also has it's own strategy and abilities. For example, pointman can pickup blocks and powerups to use later (and drop on any of the lanes), and eraser can "clean" your lanes of any one color.

Anyway, be sure to check the demo on steam. It's very good :)

PS: Yes it may be a game for music lovers but there are very few people that don't like music :)

BTW, there's an update for the game when you start STEAM, it automatically updates for you, gotta love STEAM. BTW, there's rumble support for the X360 controller for all you console fans.

Here's the patch notes:

An update has been released via steam for Audiosurf, and will be downloaded automatically when the steam client is restarted.

Update Changelog:

• Added Loading progress bar during startup
• Eliminated scoreboard waiting
• Added X360 dual stick Double Vision support
• Improved performance
• Stability fix on song restart
• Fixed disappearing cursor bug

Its not that hard, their are multiple difficulty levels and different modes of play...plus the difficulty depends on the type of song it is.

I have a question: How much does AudioSurf cost?-Karmum-

$10

that made no sense

Do you play it using the keyboard? Like just hit the key when a colour appear?Lonelynight

its not like guitar hero, its a racing game / puzzle game.

Not a fan of rhythm games, but it looks kinda fun. Anyone know if it supports FLAC and Monkey's Audio?Velocitas8

One question though: most of my music I bought off iTunes, which doesn't work with the game. Will it work if I burn the songs I want onto a CD, and then import them back into iTunes??

I think the website says yes.

After playing three songs, I'm hooked. Excellent game.

Also, I'm liking how I got the HL2 soundtracks, Portal, etc with the demo :D

There is a way to get Itunes songs to work, its listed in the "hints" thing...they dont work because of DRM, but their is some sort of workaround.

audioslave's songs work really well in the game, especially in ninja mono.
