Just when you thought that listening to music couldn't get any better... Introducing Audiosurf 2, the sequel to the very popular and acclaimed indie game released back in 2008. Any song from your collection can be chosen to ride, and the game will generate a unique track for the song you choose. At slower parts, the track will rise and the block traffic will be low. At more intense parts, the track will rapidly descend, greatly increasing the block traffic. Although the original Audiosurf only had a handful of modes to choose from, thanks to the steam workshop integration that the sequel offers, the amount of game modes and skins that are available is endless, although many of the game modes do generally involve avoiding a certain object or color, while collecting another. That being said, with the many different variations that are available to download, the fear of becoming bored with this game is never an issue. The visuals look beautiful, and are definitely an improvement from the first one, not to mention the vast amount of downloadable skins that are even more aesthetically appealing.

This is, at the time of this review, an early access game, and as such, expect a few bugs and glitches that are still being worked out. In my experience thus far, however, I have yet to experience any problem that would be considered anything more than slightly inconveniencing. In conclusion, this game is a unique experience that provides endless hours of gameplay, all while enjoying your own music and having the choice of seemingly endless ways to experience it. If you are still unsure, pick up the first one during a sale, if you enjoy that one, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one as well.

There are roughly any improvemnts on the game. The good change is that now song scores are divided by mode, so you don't have a mode dominating any longer. The new surf mode is interesting, and the integration with the workshop is nice. If you enjoyed the first one, you might enjoy this one, though its pretty much the same stuff with a new look. If you haven't bought the first one, then I do recomend picking this up, as the rides are unique to the songs.

Even in its pre release state, it perfectly captures what made the original so much fun, and builds upon it in almost every way.

It is actually a very good rhythm game. I recommend it.

Note that the game is in an alpha state: if you expect next to no bugs and is perfectly playable, buying this during early access isn't a good idea.

Now as of the state right now, it's simple you pick a mode, a visual skin, and a song on your computer or from people you follow on SoundCloud and you're on your way to surfing on your own music. The game is very fun, and the new modes are a blast. Older modes seem much better thanks to the new visuals. The mods from Steam Workshop also add a lot of content to the games such as new modes a nd visuals. Plus as the game is still in devolpent there's always new features on the way.

It's hard to show the cons of the game, as they can all be fixed in due time, or are being fixed as I write this. The menus are by far the biggest problem, they are a little bit cumbersome, scrolling is iffy, and gamepad support isn't in supported in the menus, however don't take it to heart, as all of these will be fixed in due time.

Fina say: I can recommend this to anyone who knows how a beta/alpha works, and loves their own music library.
