If you are familiar with the video games F-Zero or Wipeout, imagine those games combined with Guitar Hero and Rock Band, plus a little Tetris on the side. What you’ll get is a unique indie PC game called Audiosurf.

Audiosurf is a driving game where you control a spaceship/racecar thing. But instead of driving on race tracks, you drive on music tracks. Clever, eh? The best part about the game, however, is that you can play on any music from your computer. And I mean anything! The game will render a completely original track for the song you choose based on the songs properties.

As you can see, the tracks mimic the music itself. There are two basic objectives: 1 is to collect all colored notes. 2 is to avoid all of the walls. The game is available for demo on Steam (which is a must-have for any PC gamer).

You can crack/hack/unlock the Audiosurf demo with an easy patch available here. The password for the archive is www.digitalpowered.info . However, if you like the full game enough then I really recommend purchasing an authentic copy or donating to Audiosurf.

Have fun!
