Audiosurf 2 Review

Audiosurf 2 Review     Audiosurf 2 is not an easy game to review. Not because it’s too good, too bad or anything like that – it’s due to the fact that most of the content is supplied by the player himself. Not only that, but the title’s delicious malleability and versatility gets also reflected in its appropriate Steam Workshop, where there are hundreds of game modes, skins and such available…

Review: AudioSurf (PC): Ride Your Music

 S2C RATINGS: BUY // 8.8 = GRAPHICS: 7.5 | GAMEPLAY: 9.0 | AESTHETICS: N/A | AUDIO: 10.0

AudioSurf is one of a kind.  Developed by Dylan Fitterer, this indie title has to be one of the most entertaining PC music games available.  It combines your music with a fun space-ship-like, colorful experience. 

The title of the game basically spells out the basics: the player literally surfs on music.  The best part is the music is your music.  So long as your music library is continuously expanding, AudioSurf will change and expand with it.  No two sessions will be the same because no two songs are the same.  If the track is somewhere on your computer, you can play it and surf it. 

The actual surfing is fantastic.  The layout is pretty simple.  The player is placed on a track with three lanes.  As the song progresses, blocks will appear at times on the tracks that corresponds with the music.  The whole track itself will also bounce and swirl along with the music to make the player feel like they are in the song itself. 

The objective is then to run into these blocks and capture them on a container (one for each track) that holds eight blocks total each.  Points are awarded when a player gets three blocks of the same color to touch in between the three containers.  However, the colors vary depending on the character one chooses.  If that sounds confusing in any way, don't worry. The tutorial does a great job of showing you the ropes.     

The player can select a number of different characters to play as on varying difficulty levels.  Each character has a special ability that can be used to improve one's score.  For example, the Eraser character allows the player to remove blocks of a specific color and store them for later.  This allows other colored blocks to fall down the line and combine with similar colors to gain points.  The stored blocks can then be restored and used to make big combos.  The game also features a co-op mode which allows one player to surf two tracks using the mouse, while the other surfs two tracks using the keyboard.   

AudioSurf continues to engross the player by making the environments around the track come to life.  Like the track, the environment will flow with the music.  Beats can triggers explosions of differing colors and also turn the track different colors.  The player can also physically change the colors used in the options tab to change it up.  AudioSurf is also fully compatible with a controller and has a leaderboard which is constantly updated with popular songs, news, forums, and much more.

If there is any downside to AudioSurf, it is the process of actually finding the song you want to play.  This is not a huge issue but a rather small one that can be encountered by players who are not computer savvy.  To play a song you have to go into your computer files and physically find the track.  AudioSurf does not possess a feature that can search your PC files for the song you want, though such a feature would make the search much easier.  Yet, like I said, it is not a major issue.      

I would highly recommend this game to anyone who loves music, which should be everyone right?  The fact that the player’s own music can be used makes the game a constantly changing and refreshing experience.  Regardless of whether or not it is on sale, I suggest you buy it. AudioSurf is currently available on Steam for $9.99.
