Audio Surf 25

Hey everyone, new here, and i hope to contribute some good stuff smiley
Hopefully, this isn't in the wrong place. Please, tell me if it is.
So anyways, i'll be doing a review of Audiosurf, a good little (Rather large actually) indie gem.
As the name implies, you're basically surfing your audio in this game, collecting
colored blocks to make matches in a vivid enviroment that changes to match the
pace of the music.

Now, let's start out by seeing the pluses.

Pro #1: Very flexible system requirements, going from very low-end to the most powerful
gaming rigs.

Pro #2: Great game if you enjoy music, especially because you can use any
track imaginable.

Pro #3: It's compatible with almost all music formats, even .flac and .ogg!

Pro #4: Great graphics on the higher settings.

Pro #5: Many different game modes with three difficulties makes it fun for hardcore
gamers and casual gamers alike.

Pro #6: "Audiosurf Radio" makes up for lack of music with new tracks every friday.

Pro #7: Achievement system gives you something to go for.

Pro #8: The game can appeal to both headbangers and Mozart fans, as the game
is no faster than the music you play.

However, no game comes without minuses.

Con #1: Fairly sharp learning curve. There is a tutorial, but the rest is up to you.

Con #2: Highest graphical settings are very CPU intensive.

Con #3: Some gamemodes are undertipped pointwise compared to others.

Con #4: Nearly impossible to get a high score on any known song unless you've
been playing non-stop since the beta came out.

Con #5: Major jump between the difficulties. A player who's used to Casual (Easy)
does not stand any chance if faced with Elite (Hard).

Con #6: "Audiosurf Radio" shows no direct way of downloading broadcasted music.

Con #7: Some achievements are impossible with the Mono characters.

Con #8: There's not much action for you if you don't like heavier music.
