Everyone should get Beat Hazard.

That game didn't register any kind of beat or pattern regardless of what song or genre I picked. Not so mention it is liking looking directly into lasers it is so bright and flashy. It made me queasy, a first for a video game. It's even worse than Geometry Wars.

Oh, that's weak. Yeah, I did notice that the ship's laser was changing but I assumed it was more for effect than anything. It didn't really stand out. Well, that's disappointing that the only rhythm matching part of the game is the gun. And that doesn't sound like a LAN party, more like a LAN warehouse. I was fine after I stopped playing, your friend was not a very bright bulb to try the game though, it's probably the strongest strobe effect on the market, haha. Anyway, definately didn't buy it after the demo. Killing Floor however, looks badass.

Were you aware that it is the ship's laser that reacts to the music?

I was at a LAN party with 300 people and just 6 or so playing at once was strobing the whole event it seemed. My friend who once had an epileptic seizure bravely/stupidly played it for a while but was fine.
