Aaero was a fun surprise on Xbox Games With Gold a few years ago, but it definitely still had room for improvement. The sequel takes all the best bits of the original title while also enhancing the weak areas, delivering improved combat, another fantastic soundtrack, the debut of local and online multiplayer, and various other quality-of-life tweaks. If you're a fan of rhythm games, we think you're going to have a great time with Aaero 2.

If you have any liking for the original game, or other musical masterpieces like AVICII Invector, Aaero2 should be seen as a must-play. Fire it up, feel the beat and immerse yourself in the glorious ribbon racing of Aaero2 with immediate effect.

Still, it’s those old habits that got Mad Fellows to make Aaero2 begin with, and it spawns a newfound creative angle for which their gameplay can soar. Not only is it an upgrade far above whatever Aaero could achieve in median, but actively replaces it as one of rhythm-action’s most prominent examples of creativity, involvement, and sheer joy. Per aspera ad astra.

The addition of 2-player modes and various improvements make a lot of sense, and do improve the Aaero formula a good bunch, but at the end of the day it’s hardly a hugely transformative sequel. Still, I fail to see that as a devastating flaw. Aaero2 brings us more awesome tracks to ride rails and shoot alien creatures on to the beat of the rhythm. Sure, it could have been a slightly more ambitious sequel in terms of game mechanics, progression and variety. Yet, even so, Aaero2 is one of the most interesting music-based games in recent memory, one that will have my grinding rails while banging my head back and forth for quite some time.
