And they gave it a 9/10. Not too shabby, eh?http://pc.ign.com/articles/854/854577p1.htmlQuoteClosing CommentsEverything about Audiosurf smacks of a polished product that has been born from clear, focused ambition that never overreaches itself. The basic fusion of the core puzzle gameplay and the dynamic spin that the music applies to this is delightfully successful in itself, but is stretched even further by a drive for perfection. The medals awarded in accordance to the score generosity of the chosen song may be fairly dispensable, but this is a game that will enjoy buzzing online leader boards (with a leader board created for every song). As addictive as a post-Tetris puzzle game can hope to be and only US $10, Audiosurf is both a successful proof of concept and a potentially endlessly enjoyable piece of gaming.^^ I agree.
