BestGameEver’s PC game, AudioSurf, has a tag line of ‘Ride Your Music’ and the game definitely lives up to that. Any gamer who loves the rhythm video game genre is likely to love AudioSurf. The game is fun, challenging, refined and flexible. Unlike similar games, AudioSurf does not require players to purchase additional songs to add to the library. With AudioSurf you are able to add and play any song that you already have in a digital format. You may have some slight problems with certain songs that are copyrighted heavily, but with most you won’t. Before a song is played, the AudioSurf software will analyse the music. If you have already played a song, the analysis will be quick, but if it is new to the system, it may take a few minutes, but be patient, it is well worth the wait. You will be able to choose from a variety of avatars that all have different power-ups and abilities throughout the game play. As you play AudioSurf you guide your avatar across several rails and pick up coloured blocks. These blocks represent beats to the song, so the faster the song, the faster the blocks will come down. You need to collect all the blocks to complete a certain shape in order to progress through the levels. Just remember to pick up only coloured blocks. The grey ones should be avoided at all costs, as they deduct points. It sounds more complicated than it actually is, so just go ahead, try it out and get ready for a challenge. As you progress through the game you will either earn a bronze, silver or gold rating, depending on how many blocks you pick up and how many shapes you are able to build. The songs you choose will also affect the rating that you get, but remember, the bigger your combo and the more points you end up scoring, the better you will do. AudioSurf allows you to save your score, so you can compete against your friends and set goals. Just remember that the game will only save your highest score on any given song. You can play this game online and compete with your friends down the street or in another country, which adds to the excitement. It is also a great way to hear new songs and be exposed to a whole new musical experience. The graphics and animation of AudioSurf are both amazing. The game allows for a free play mode, where you can just sit back and watch the animation as you listen to your favourite songs. However, the great graphics definitely add to the excitement of the game play. AudioSurf is a game that was designed by a single programmer and some of his friends. Perhaps because the design job of this game took so long or was so close to their hearts, AudioSurf is a brilliantly produced piece of work. Even if you are not totally into the music video game genre, you should definitely give AudioSurf a try.
