A novel way to experience my song library. I can only describe it as eye rape 10/10.

The best way to play Enter Sandman by Metallica is with seizure inducing visuals

I've had this game for a long time. I mainly played it on the PS3 back when it first launched and bought it when I started doing PC gaming. If you have a vary large digital music library then you won't have a shortage of content for this game. Its currently £8.50 for me now and I believe as long as you have the music library for it you'll totally get your monies worth!

May 2024

Simple game with good tunes. However, you do need to keep moving. If I had to describe this in a summarized way, It's like playing asteroids on steroids while in a club. Lots of action! While there's not much more to say on this one. I do recommend it as a nice time killer. 7/10

April 2024

A fun arcade-style game you can just pick up and kill some time. Just beware of the sensory-overload, soon as the beat drops your screen will light up like a pin ball machine having a nervous breakdown during a rave.
