Anybody knows about Audiosurf? Well, basically it's this:

And here's a quote from Wikipedia about it:
Audiosurf is an IGF Award winning puzzle/rhythm hybrid game created by Invisible Handlebar. Its track-like stages visually mimic the music the player chooses, while the player races across several lanes collecting colored blocks that appear in sync with the music. Currently, the full version is only available for purchase through Steam and includes the entire Orange Box soundtrack files to play.
Audiosurf is the first game to use Valve's Steamworks technology. The game was released on February 15, 2008 over Steam.
(...) the player controls a levitating spaceship-like craft similar to those found in Wipeout or F-Zero. The player then maneuvers it down a colorful multi-laned highway, collecting blocks in a manner similar to Klax. The ship is controlled either by a mouse, the arrow keys, the number keys, or a Gamepad. The game also supports the rumble feature of the Xbox 360 controller.

The music used in the game is chosen from the user's own library, from almost any DRM-free format, as well as standard redbook CDs. An "Audiosurf Radio" tab is also included on the "Song Select" screen that allows the user to play the Audiosurf Overture, as well as a shifting selection of songs by featured Independent artists.
You can tell your opinion on this fresh game or when do you play it. :biggrin:

I've seen videos of it before, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet.

You can use the 360 controller, but on the PC.

Wait, I think that when you get this, you'll probably play some Puyo Puyo songs. :P

If you guys saw how much game music is stored on my HD besides that then you would think twice about about that statement ;).

I have Audiosurf, and I'll go play it in a sec, and try to see what score I can do on Groovin' Daylight (SCUD Race/Sega Super GT) using the Mono character. ^_^

Weird because when I play Solaris Phase 2 on Ninja Mono it's hard to not get the grey ones! You're playing on what Mono difficulty?

I USED to play in the regular Mono difficulty (i WAS using Audiosurf for relaxing). Now, I think I won't play it anymore because it's @#%$ corrupt !! (computer reformatted = almost anything to reinstall. Shit. I'll have to go warez now. U_U)

Audiosurf is awesome. I used to play it, but I got into Stepmania (Freeware DDR for PC). Hella better at SM than Audiosurf. Can play heavy...

...Anyway, back to Audiosurf. I played on the easiest difficulty and with the keyboard. Later, I found it better with the mouse. Just played video game and Sega music on it, though. Anything that I could find in my Music folder. Awesome game, but Stepmania is more for me.
