Auditorium HD(PS3)

When it comes to music games, the more popular ones tend to be very fast passed and involve either taking you on a wild ride or trying to simulate what being in a band is like. However, some music games also focus on the simple idea that music is meant to be enjoyed, as well as be fun and relaxing. Auditorium HD, a two dollars game on PSN, happens to be one of those relaxed music games and it does it's job quite nicely. 

Auditorium is a simple puzzle music game that you can get on PS3 for a very small price of two dollars. The game involves using physic altering orbs to control a stream of color that is used to fill a meter of a specific or same color. The more the meter fills up, the louder and more complex the music becomes until all the colored meters are filled at the same time and the song plays at it's fullest. What makes this game special is just how calm and serene it will make you feel. The puzzles that it brings won't anger you and yet, whenever you finish them, you will have this immense sense of satisfaction as soon as you hear the song playing in all it's glory. In other words, the game is great for unwinding and relaxing as it involves little to no frustration. As the levels progress, the orbs you use become more varied, with some orbs changing the stream's color, others changing it's direction and others allowing it to become powerful to a point where it can reach the end of the screen. As far as the music is concerned, there is only one track that plays over and over again, and although you would think that it would get old and annoying over time, it doesn't. Since the puzzles stay silent until you start to fill the meters, you don't get time to really get annoyed by the music and when the music does start playing, it's actually quite refreshing, kind of like taking a shower at the end of a hard day's work. 

 I'm sorry to say, but that's really all there is to say about the game. Although it's a very relaxing experience, there isn't much to it other than solving the puzzles and then observing the results once you complete it. Even so, it's still two dollars well spent if you need to add something to your cart or need something that can help you unwind and relax. 

Final Verdict: 8/10
Pros:
 +PS3 version is cheap(2$)
 +Very relaxing.
Cons:
 -You have this odd, empty feeling once you reach the end of the game....
