The real joy of Audiosurf is picking a song, any song, and seeing it literally appear before you as you travel and listen along.

I don’t think it’s me that’s beating you, but “You, Me, Dancing” is FANTASTIC for this game. The two-minute build followed by the explosion of melody is exhilarating.

Oh, and the most devious thing about those leader boards? The server sending you an e-mail whenever someone beats your top score. Just one more reason to jump back in.

No worries, I doubt I’ll ever get close to number one now that the song is getting popular along with the game. I love how every time I play it on Ninja there is a huge stack of colored blocks right in the first minute so you immediately score the bronze.

I never thought a video game would make me complain about my favorite band becoming popular, but here it is.
