Thought this should have its own thread so it wont get too confusing in the video games thread. Anyone else playing this yet? Post up your scores and see if we can beat them if you are.

One of my better scores so far is:


Spor - Way of the Samurai
= 102,711 on Mono Pro
Ironmode
Clean Finish
Stealth
Match7

Theres a couple of modes, but basically you race along a highway and pick up coloured blocks to make sets, of which you need 3 or more blocks to make. It's a bit confusing at first, I usually play on a mode called mono where you just avoid the grey blocks and pick up the coloured blocks. It sounds a bit boring but it's really really addictive.

This is the tutorial that comes with the game. Gives you a better idea of how it works.

I think theres a limit to how long the song can be though. I tried doing a wolves in the throne room song which is about 25 minutes and it wouldn't let me.

I'd love to try and clock that set which one the world record for the longest DJ set. Was like 4 days or something. Imagine playing Audiosurf for 4 days straight. I wonder if I could do that in Ninja Mono Ironmode....

Yeah I always do Ninja Mono Ironmode when I play these days. Well I used to at least. Note. Don't even bother attempting Ninja Mono Ironmode with a Speedcore song. It is just not possible.

I might do a few more runs tonight and post up some scores.

I find it easier than colours for some reason. I have a really quick reaction time to dodge things, but don't have the brains to think about what colours I need to pick up.

Being a bit slow on the uptake, just downloaded this shizzle today. Haven't gotten into the gameplay yet, but the Freeride mode makes for a fucking awesome music visualiser!
