I can't think of a recent game where the music feels like it is so organically part of the visuals, almost as if they were generated at the same time.

The mood, colors, and shapes that you see when you play almost perfectly match the sounds, instruments, tones and rhythms that make up the soundtrack.

so this is a tough one to review.....graphics were innovative and interesting, a highlight of the game. controls were very simple to use, no learning curve whatsoever. the difficulty was not bad, i actually completed this one (finally). truthfully, i was glad it was over cause it seemed like it would go on forever!
