Game Information: Audiosurf is a Rhythm/Puzzle game, with most Rhythm games music is involved, but here's the catch, you can play ANY music you have on your computer in Audiosurf. Audiosurf randomly generates a path / puzzle for each song you play (the path / puzzle is the same for the song after that).

Gameplay: In Audiosurf players will control a levitating spaceship, your job is to guide this spaceship down the "Puzzle Highway", there are various modes of difficulty. Each Difficulty has numerous "Ships" to choose from, each ship has it's advantages and disadvantages, the advantages are only really evident in the harder difficulties.

The point of the game is to collect colored blocks (known as "Cars") and forming groups of 3 or more of the same color, the more blocks accumulated by the player, the more points are scored and added to your total score.

Multiplayer: The multiplayer is basically an online scoreboard that keeps track of scores that users achieve and log the total amount of points on a leaderboard for each song, players are always fighting for first place, I know I did and it was extremely addicting.

Achievements: There are a number of Achievements to earn in Audiosurf, they don't take that long to get but some of them are very challenging. The achievements are basically added into the game because steam supports Community Member Achievement Tracking on your Steam Community page :P

My Rating: 10 out of 10, basically this is one of the best PC Rhythm/Puzzle games, it has endless replayability the only thing that limits you is how big of a music library you have.
