While it looks cool at first, Audiosurf is really just an interactive music visualizer.

When Audiosurf first came out, it seemed like a great idea. Drive a little car/spaceship/samurai robot thing to the speed and beat of your favorite songs. But after a while, Audiosurf becomes extremeley boring and you will most likely never play it again. The graphics are nice and colorful with the color changing on the song's mood. Your vehicle speeds down a hill when the song is going fast, and climbs a hill when the song gets slow. And once the song ends, you slowly drive into a cool looking tunnel. If you purchase the game off of Steam (which might be the only way to get it), you get the entire Orange Box Soundtrack completely free with it. It's fun to ride along with "Still Alive" as well as some of Half Life 2's fast-paced techno beats. But the game WILL NOT recognize iTunes music which drops this game's value by nearly 75%. You can play with iTunes music, but you have to burn the songs to a disk and then insert the disc and play through the disc, but it's simply too complicated. If the game ran iTunes strait out of the box, this game's value would nearly triple. But that's the developer's fault. But if you download all of your music off of MP3.com or Limewire or something, this game is definetly worth it. But if your like most people and/or are a loyal iTunes customer, your better off with iTunes great built in visualizer.
