Game Spotlight - AudioSurf



AudioSurf is another entry in this years IGF finalists, and sticking with the current trend is an rhythm based game, this time in the form of a frenetic puzzle racer. A few interesting ideas in this game, first is that you can load up any MP3 on your computer and it generates a race track designed around that song. So no two songs will produce the same race. This however is not a standard racer by any means, similar to a puzzle game you group similar colored bars to score points. Some bars are not worth as much as others, and the red bars are worth the most but they only appear in the most intense parts of the song. There are a variety of different modes and options, and also the ability to compare your scores online. For $10 this is definitely worth picking up if you are like me and love rhythm based games.
