If you look at the interviews on the audiosurf website is says that a game similar to it called 'tune racer' was made first by the same man. Being a wiki-virgin i dont wont to get my hands dirty but i think it should be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.65.100.70 (talk) 01:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

The game is being sold and Steam and bundled with the Orange Box soundtrack. This should be mentioned in the article.

Added it, not perfect but it'll do for now I guess. --FrostedBitesCereal (talk) 21:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I added a mention of the Audiosurf Radio tab under the general overview. If anyone thinks it should go somewhere else, be my guest. --Brainninja (talk) 00:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Site Advertising In External Links

I noticed a lot of links building up in the external links section. Shouldn't those only be official sources, or links related to the article and not the actual game. Since it tends to be just plain advertising. --FrostedBitesCereal (talk) 20:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

That tends to happen a lot. The general practice is one fansite, but only if it's comprehensive. I can see killing the reviews and video sites, I'll grant, though the stats site...outside the fact that a number of THOSE sites have popped up, such a site should be ok, I'd think. For now, I'll kill all but the top three (the official ones). ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 21:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] So What the hell?

It says compete with people and their songs, right? And how the hell am i supposed to do that. By loading the exact song that they have and pray? Or how about the opposite, I Load a song and how are folks gona compete to that!?

I'm gonna assume good faith and simply figure you don't understand how it works based on the article and not having played it...well basically, you play a track. It uses the ID tags in your music, and puts it on a scoreboard, and you compete with everyone else through score, not in real time. It's just a scorebaord, is all. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 00:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Points

The point scoring system is quite complex with the chaining and stuff... I wonder if there's any place to get more details about scoring? Bzzhuh (talk) 10:05, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, a very detailed place. go to it! Sudoku424 (talk) 17:28, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki

The wiki that i have added to the main page is the only wiki that Dylan recognizes at the moment. So, please don't delete it due to "fansite". Sudoku424 (talk) 17:30, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
