REVIEW: “Audiosurf” is a Great Arcade Experience

“Audiosurf,” released Feb. 15 on Steam, is a fantastic arcade-type game with infinite possibilities. Just pick a song and it generates a track on which to play its color-matching game.

The faster the song, the faster your track will go. Strong beats yield humps and intense guitar solos create more colored blocks for you to pick up and put together. The tracks fit their songs astoundingly well and are generated really quickly.

Here’s an example of one of the tracks, generated from a Daft Punk song, so you can get a better idea of how things work:

There are multiple game types and difficulties. Most use multi-colored blocks, but the simpler Mono type has you avoid obstacles and pick up blocks of a single color. There’s also a two-player mode where each player gets a side of the track.

“Audiosurf” comes with a scoreboard mechanic, so you can compare your top scores with local and worldwide players.

The game is a lot of fun, especially if you enjoy music, and it’s a great single-player alternative to games like “Guitar Hero.” Plus, it’s only $10. Highly recommended.
