I purchased this game yesterday and have been playing it for quite a few hours since. Check it out here:

http://www.audio-surf.com/

It's available through Steam for a really small price, there's also a free demo.

In a nutshell the game analyzes any song that you choose (mp3, iTunes etc.) and creates a virtual race track based on it. It's difficult to describe, but if you have a half way decent PC  you should really give it a try. It's amazing!Smile

Here's a cool video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsVyEnhxWY it shows how well the game detects speed changes in the music.

Kinda looks like a Guitar Hero screen, with a rocket ship trying to race around/ avoid /destroy the "notes" coming down the "fretboard". Seems fun, though.

It was definitely worth the 10 dollars. In fact, I think I'll play it now.

*bump* again ... I now know for a fact that I'm not the only one here who is currently playing this game.

So ... let's post some interesting tracks ... and your user names, so that we can see each other's high scores for our favorite tracks (Audio-Surf has a "friend" system).Big%20smile

Theoretically this should even work for Half-Life 2 ... but I guess you at least need a Mac with an Intel CPU.

Woah, this sounds cool!!! I actually had an idea like this for years where you could virtually enter a world to your music, and this seems pretty close. I definitely need to check it out. *downloading demo now*
