There's already the David Bowie Space Oddity playthrough on the Sift, but I chose to sift this one up in large part because of this YT comment:

"Heh, this is basically what a Muse show is like anyway."

Oh, did I mentioned that it's only 10 bucks??? It's a steal at twice the price. Get it.

I do indeed love this game. At the risk of losing my standing... I am the world high score holder on many, many Wiggles songs... YEAH! Rock on Captain Feathersword.

lol, I'll have to add you as an audiosurf "friend"

I was surprisingly meh on this game. It sounded like a good time... sort of like Guitar Hero (which I love) but with ANY song in my library. Awesome, right?

Maybe it was my choice of songs, but I never felt really connected to the music. It felt more like I was racing, and music happened to be playing, but the game wasn't really about the music.

Maybe I just don't like to think that much when I'm playing a game... never liked Tetris, so I really didn't like playing as anything but the Mono guys in Audiosurf. Having all those different colors and worrying positioning and what to pick up, making big clusters... too much going on at once for me.

Anyway, I guess it wasn't for me, but I can see how it would be like crack for Tetris fans.

Perhaps. Try it with some slow music with less beats - a slow classical music piece with violins perhaps? - but if you're not really into puzzles in the first place I don't know what else to say.

I just noticed the song is #14 in the Audiosurf charts. Cool.

damn, whoever designed and coded that is freakin talented.

this is the most awesomely awesome badass game evah. I actually came to the Sift today with the idea to submit a video like this-because I just checked the game out.
so, cheesemo and others, I can provide some advice, because at first I felt like what you described, too:

in general, the best tracks to enjoy are, quite surprisingly, rock. I tried pretty much everything else apart from classics and hip hop (pop, lounge, trance, etc.) and rock really gets you going the most and seems the most melodic and "in tune"; also, I would STRONGLY suggest everybody to use the double-car setup character, because with it one really finds the synchronous feeling of music and game that you're trying to attain. and yes, it also scores more points

I noticed the same problem with some songs, but then I played my Schindler's List track and it was awesome.

Holy shit, I just got this game earlier, and I have to say, it's the most fun I've had since getting the Orange Box. I just played for a few hours straight. Best 10 bucks I've spent in ages.

Man, the Sift should somehow get commissions for all this promotional assistance we give.

But then, are we in it for the money, or the joy spreading? Seems like it's the joy spreading. Unless dag really needs some money, in which case, talking should be done with... someone.

Hrm. Dead. A week ago, I could have called it myself.
