If you don't know what Audiosurf is (and chances are you don't), its a music game for the PC that takes the music on your hard drive and lets you visually play that it. The idea is that you move a ship left and right to hit different colored blocks that are completely synchronized with your music.Not only is it a music game but it's a puzzle game too. After hitting a colored block, that block drops down in a grid below you, match up groups of the same color and you get points.
The beta just barely ended today, I got to play it and it was AMAZING! I was overly skeptical because this was an indie developed game and most indie games just don't do it for me. But I gave it a shot and it turned out to be the best music game since Amplitude for the PS2. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Guitar Hero and Rock Band. (You heard me!) Why spend $170 dollars on Rock Band when you could pay $20 tops on a game that lets you use ANY song you want, not just the songs that came with a disk. Granted, with Rock Band and Guitar Hero you get to play with cute little plastic guitars.
If your interested in trying out this game, it will be released sometime next month and you don't have to buy the game either to try it out because the game comes with a 2 song trial version.
Currently this game is in beta which means you can go to this site: Audiosurf and enter your email. They'll give you an email the next time the beta is open and further details about when the game is released.
*If you want to try this game, your going to have to wait for either another beta or the release*
I strongly recommend giving this game try. It's a game for everyone because we all have music on our computers and its a game for everyone because of many difficulty modes.
