osu!

[Som1Lse]

osu! is a free rhythm game on the PC that I began playing for around 3-4 months ago.
So far I've enjoyed my time with it and I thought I may as well post it here.

It is pretty good at improving your reaction time as well as mouse accuracy, eye-to-hand coordination etc. and thus can be a good help to games like League of Legends, Dota, Starcraft etc.

Osu is probably the rhythm game with the most music library (beatmaps) so I can find many of my favorite musics. I play a lot more of osu mania rather than standard mode lately though. It was quite hard to get into (since there are 7 keys).

I'm not living with my 'super-gamer' friend anymore so I don't have access to his gaming mouse, which is why I play more osu mania hahaha... it does require a decent mouse at least, rather than my crappy little rainbow flashing mouse.

Osu standard mode was something I have thought about quite a few years ago. I used to play this game called global defense network, which is a 'rhythm shooting' game, but I felt it's such a pity that although the targets spawn on the rhythm, we are just shooting as quickly as we can.. not following the rhythm. When I found osu, it was the perfect game that I was looking for XD .

AWESOME GAME!
I remember at first it was more trouble trying to 'read' what I should click, rather than to click accurately itself. After some time though, reading is relatively easy compared to the clicking action . It has a nice design.

Reading in osu mania mode causes a lot more trouble though since there are 7 keys, and it takes some time to get used to using the colors to quickly identify the button we need to press. Also, at higher difficulty, reading a lot of keys in a short amount of time can be as problematic as pressing the buttons itself .

I haven't gotten into osu!mania yet. I reckon I could get at least decent at it, since I've played a lot of Guitar Hero.
But I'll wait for now

I disagree.
I've been playing a lot with a crappy mouse from HP, that came with my 3 year old desktop (this one), and no mouse mat.
That said I can do almost as well as with my Razer Mamba I use at home, and mouse mat. I certainly agree having a mouse helps, but not to the point that it is unplayable.
As long as it is consistent, you're fine.

This is not to say you should absolutely play osu!standard. If you enjoy osu!mania more then that is completely up to you.
