Audition

  

Game Description and Comments

Audition is a free online dancing game with anime-style graphics that look similar to those you might find in a console game. Forget about swords and guns here, because this game is all about dancing and music. You won't need any type of armor either. Instead of armor, players can dress their characters in the type of clothes that you might see in a dance club. Instead of battles with combat, Audition offers dance battles where players hit keys to match rhythms during songs. To keep things interesting, the game offers a huge variety of game modes and ways to give your character a unique look. Game modes cover everything from NPC battles to boy versus girl battles to even a wedding mode where players get officially married in the game. Character customization is definitely one of the game's strongest points since most players look very different from each other. Not only can players choose from a wide variety of clothing, but they can also use color lotions to further distinguish their character. All in all, Audition is one of the best ways to experience dancing and music in an online game.

Comment: I admit that when I first saw this game, I didn't expect much from it but now I'm happily addicted to it. There's a bunch of reasons to go back and play it over and over.

1. Over 15 play modes, individual and team, including special NPC challenges where you can team up with other players to win money.
2. Over 50 songs of varying speeds ranging from Hilary Duff to some custom Audition songs. There's a lot of variety to work with here.
3. The controls are easy enough in terms of concept. You just input an arrow sequence and press space bar in time with the beat.
4. Combining my second and third reasons in a way, with varying song speeds and lengthening sequences, the game gets intensely challenging with only occasional mild frustration.
5. It's not (always) one of those predictable games where the winner can be easily determined by level. This is a game of skill.
6. Loads of items to dress up your avatar in. They don't have much of an impact on the game but there's a lot of cool outfits to choose from.
7. It's always worth playing a match to the end. Thanks to bonuses for things such as 8-keying, chancing, chaining, and finishing moves, there's always a shot to catch up and pull off a last-second upset.

All in all, this is an excellent game. The only real problem is how long it takes to level (depending on the mode, it's rare to gain more than 200 exp at a time), but like I said, Audition isn't a game of levels; it's a game of skill. Give this game a chance and you'll probably agree.
