I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this in my reviews but I have epilepsy. I know, an epileptic gamer doesn’t exactly sound ideal and let me tell you, it’s not exactly a comfortable situation. There are often games that my husband will shy me away from if they’re too brightly colored or too flashy, and I long ago accepted that as part of my gaming existence. It can sometimes be a bit of a drag but I don’t allow it to get me down often. That is… unless it’s worth the distraction.
That being said, Audio Surf was definitely worth the little bit of sadness I get when I find a game that I would love to play but can’t. I played a few short hours of Audio Surf and loved every moment of it. This is a game that is interactive in one of the best ways. It incorporates the musical tastes of the player while allowing one to play with it. It’s one of the best games I’ve not been allowed to play. It’s wonderful!
Audio Surf is a game in which you play a spaceship that is pushed down a road that beats with music. You s
teer this spaceship in the direction of colored pegs, trying to group them together in triple block clusters. The speed and location of the blocks themselves are scattered down a traitorous road covered with blocks. There are quite a few things holding you back on your quest to gather these blocks together. There are gray blocks that block your advances, not to mention the fact that if you try too hard you will doubtlessly find yourself with too many non-matching blocks and thus blocked on all accounts.
I don’t think I can say it enough but Audio Surf is absolutely worth the price of buying it. I’m pretty sure that given the oppertunity it would doubtlessly have been one of my most favorite games ever. It allows you to play at your own pace, whether you want to play quickly or take your time. It’s a game that you basically bend to your own will and enjoy as if you are creating it yourself. You change the overall feel of the game to match your moods and thus are given absolute control while you play. This is doubtlessly one of the most engaging games I’ve ever played. Highly recommended.
