It's a good example of bringing other talents to bear on a video game review... this is really two reviews in one. That's like bringing a rocket launcher to a fencing duel. It will be hard for the judges to say no to this.


Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."

Holy shit, thanks! I sort of had to attack this game from a different angle and I had no idea how that would work out, so I'm glad to hear you liked it!

I actually have this game on XBLI and once spent an hour or so making a mental draft to when I played it along with Blur's Song 2. Then I dumped it because I didn't think the approuch would work.

You've proved me quite wrong -- great review.


For us. For them. For you.

I played this game for 10 minutes and thought I was going to have a seizure. I've never seen so many flashy lights in my life.

Baha. Doesn't the game have a seizure warning right when you boot it up?

This review probably should come with a "nobody else seems to love this game as much as I do" warning, but like I said, I'm convinced it comes down to careful song selection. Also, if any of you do want to check it out, know that the game accepts Xbox 360 controller input and I strongly recommend playing it that way. Mouse and keyboard is, understandably, not the best way to play a game like this.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the comments.

Hilariously, it was just on sale.

Think it did have a seizure warning. Well I doubt I would've had a seizure but the flashing lights was enough to make me instantly uninstall it. It's a shame since it seemed like a decent game.

You just missed a sale where you could get Beat Hazard, Audiosurf (decent), Geometry Wars (good), Bullet Candy (supposedly good), VVVVVV (good, I just reviewed this one last night), and one other indie game for $5.
