Is Audio Surf One better than Two?

[LilGuapo]

I want one of these games but I dont know what one to get. I have a Lower End Laptop so I might get One but I can play Two fine. Please help I dont know!

the first one was better, but this is only my personal opinion

I need personal opinions thanks for your feedback!

Not even a half-baked attempt at giving a reason for your opinion, eh guys?

Audiosurf 2 is better overall. It supports user-made skins and game modes and has a much more interesting track generation algorithm which makes for cooler-looking tracks. The re-worked official game modes are also mechanically superior overall (I won't go into details since you haven't played the first game).

I enjoy both. I play both (although I have been playing 2 a bit more lately. But I still have more time on 1) I say either watch some YouTube videos to compare the two or get both games and see which you like better. I mean, it's Audiosurf! You can't go wrong with either one!

I do prefer AS2 for the reasons Yishai mentioned.

If you want to get into the puzzle modes and feel horribly overwhelmed by them in AS2, consider giving AS1 a try since it features casual (training) modes for the puzzle characters with fewer colors and empty side lanes.

I see alot of feedback saying 2 is better lol. Seems a little one sided but its good feedback.

I've played a fair chunk of both. And I vastly prefer Audiosurf 2.

First off, the mods and skins and whatnot. Call me whatever you like, but I like to switch things up every now and then. It's a huge part of the reason why I bought a smartwatch, when I tire of one watch face, I can get another.

Same thing here, bored of one look, download another. It's great!

I generally only play mono or surf, because the puzzle modes divert too much of my attention from the music, but the controls feel much tighter in those two modes than in Audiosurf 1.

Finally, track generation, not only is it more interesting and less predictable than 1, but depending on the music you listen to, it's much better.

I listen to a lot of classical and orchestral stuff, and Audiosurf 2 handles stuff that isn't pop, and rock and roll far, far better than the first one did. In fact, the track generation improvements are to me worth the price of admission all on their own.

That's my two cents. Though I would also like to point out, that you really can't go wrong with either.

Well are you really surprised? Not only is this in the Audiosurf 2 forum, but 2 is the sequel to 1. Since this game is all about it's engine and technical bits, and not story or characters, it makes sense that there would be far more improvements over 1 than things that are worse than 1.

This is one of those kinds of games where, in my opinion, there isn't really a reason to ever go with the older one. It's like asking which is better: Flight simulator 1 or Flight simulator 2.

^^ Good chunk of knowhow up here!

[LilGuapo]

I thank you for your two cents! (I need all the money I can get to buy this game LOL )

[LilGuapo]

After looking in many difrent couches and selling nerf guns to little brothers for cheep coins. I fianly have enough dough to get Audiosurf 2!

[LilGuapo]

Thanks again for feedback and info.
