I'm Gaming Jay: Youtube gamer, let's player, fan of retro games, and determined optimist... Join me in this series while I try out EACH of the video games in the book 1001 VIDEO GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE, before I die. The game review for each game will focus on the question of whether you MUST play this game before you die. But to be honest, the game review parts are just for fun, and are not meant to be definitive, in depth reviews; this series is more about the YouTube gamer journey itself. From Mario games to the Halo series, from arcade games to Commodore 64, PC games to the NES and Sega Genesis, Playstation to the Xbox, let's play those classic retro games that we grew up with, have fond memories of, or heard of but never got a chance to try! And with that said, the game review for today is...
Auditorium
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditorium_(video_game)
Auditorium is a music-based puzzle game developed by Philadelphia-based studio Cipher Prime.[1] Originally released as a Flash game in April 2008, Auditorium was later released for iOS devices and then the PlayStation 3 and PSP in 2010.[2] It was also released in 2012 for PC and Mac OS X. In 2012, Cipher Prime launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for a sequel to Auditorium, titled Auditorium 2: Duet.[3] However, on January 11 2017, Cipher Prime announced to their Kickstarter backers that the game was cancelled.
In Auditorium, the player uses various game mechanics to bend streams of light particles to fill audio containers. As each of the audio containers is filled, an audio channel introducing an instrument or sound is added to the game's music. In most levels, the audio containers are a variety of colors which the particle stream must match in order to fill it. The player changes the color of the stream by manipulating it over fixed areas of the level which dye the particles as they pass through them. The goal of each level is to direct and split the stream in such a way that each audio container is filled simultaneously, revealing the level's full soundtrack.
The first Flash version of Auditorium was released on PC in April 2008.[7] An EA-published iOS port was released in December 2009. The free game includes five acts with further acts available to purchase in-game.
In November 2009 it was announced that Auditorium would be released for the PlayStation 3 and PSP as a downloadable title from the PlayStation Store. The PlayStation 3 version supports stereoscopic 3D gameplay and utilizes the PlayStation Move motion controller.[8] The console version of the game was released in November 2010. An Xbox 360 version was also announced, to be released in the Xbox Live Arcade.
On February 29, 2012, The game was also released on the Steam store for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
