Entranced offers a new kind of play: an entirely new design lets musical cues move anywhere in the 3D world.
Enter the luminous worlds hidden in the sound of music!
In these Songworlds, sounds made by different instruments form unique shapes, called Glyphs. Glyphs fly in mesmerizing formations gathering energy from the Songworld.
As each Glyph zooms around the world, the Halo surrounding it gradually collapses, signaling that it's almost time to touch. Touch it during the flash and the Glyph blooms into a beautiful splash of color and energy! Inside every Glyph another vision awaits you.
Some Glyphs appear together in Patterns. Touch the Patterns in sequence to release even more energy and beautiful visuals. Together the visuals combine to form a lightshow, an artwork you reveal and create.
Tracers are Glyphs that are created from special parts of the music. Watch for Glyphs that have tails like a comet. Tracers add extra challenge, so they release the most energy of all. Explore the hidden beauty in the music.
Songworlds can be revisited any time, so be as playful as you want!

>> HELPFUL HINTS <<
Put on your headphones to hear the most subtle sounds!
Sounds made by different instruments form unique Glyph shapes. Glyphs represent notes from any instrument in a song, not just the rhythm section, so listen well! Touch just after the Halo meets the Glyph's edges, when the Glyph expands and flashes in time with the music.
Patterns represent a string of notes from the same instrument; all of the glyphs in that pattern will look and move alike. The first one to enter is the first you tap.
Tracers represent long musical events like smooth vocal melodies. Touch a Tracer and keep pressing to follow it across the screen. Each Songworld generates its own style of Tracer. Once you learn the flight path of each, you'll become a master.
As you progress in the Songworld, you'll explore almost all of the different instruments that make up the music and switch from one to another frequently. Keep in mind that some instruments happen between drum beats. You'll catch the more subtle sounds if you let your mind expand, listen carefully, and watch glyphs flow.
If you fall behind, just relax and watch for a while, or go after only the Glyphs that seem obvious to you. If you miss a glyph and hit the wrong spot, you'll see a red ring where you touched and lose a bit of energy. No worries!

Surprisingly fun!
I read all the bad reviews and I saw all the good reviews- it's a love it or hate it game. Check it out for yourself and see. At first I hated it because I couldn't get into the rythm of each track but then after just listening to the music and watching I finally figured out what was going on and now I love it. The only problems it has now is that there are only a few songs and you can't use your own music

New Version...that was quick!
The good: improved beat timings, improved scoring, and OpenFeint--which has global leaderboards and forums. The addition of OpenFeint adds replay value and community.
The bad: it defaults to choosing the new song, "Krishna Raga" which (though good) is insanely hard. DO NOT play that as your first song ever; you'll be toast! I'd try "Treasure" first.
The neutral: some of the beats follow song elements that you can't hear well without headphones.
If mellow-ish trance music is not your thing, then this game may not be your thing. I could see this engine running any music that has beats. How 'bout it, devs?
