    Stereo Aereo is rather a fun rose-tinted game that takes a simple, tried and true gameplay style and combines it with catchy tunes that will have you nodding your head as you play along. If you have a bit of spare change burning money in your wallet, you can't say no to a little 80's indulgence.

    Stereo Aereo is a fun rhythm-based game, at least most of the time. The visual presentation is appealing, but often hinders you in keeping the focus on your own ship due to all the effects in place. Also the amount of content in the game is rather slim.

    Satisfying fun with a great soundtrack at its best, visual mess with a great soundtrack most of the rest of the time.

    Stereo Aereo is a functional music game. While it has a very cool scoring method and control scheme, it’s ultimately plagued by unforgiving and frustrating gameplay plus a generic soundtrack. Play this one if you’re looking for a fun time-waster, but there are better titles to which you may rock out.

    There are plenty of little issues that add up to turn a junk pile into a landfill. Predictable dodge patterns, no checkpoints, visual alignment that’s harmful to gameplay, no ambient sound effects, the list really does go on forever.

    Dying due to confusing design rarely makes for good times, and this soured me on Stereo Aereo pretty damned hard. It’s unfortunate because I genuinely dig the overall aesthetic, and I definitely enjoyed the soundtrack. Even the relatively meager storyline has its high points. However, when the difficulty kicks into high gear, it all bubbles down into an overly busy, confusing and imprecise mess that I can’t wrap my head around.

    Stereo Aereo is a rhythm/action game with 80’s aesthetics and a surprisingly good story mode that few games of the genre has.

    The game has all the needed attributes: a great story, decent graphics, stylish comic book cutscenes and an original soundtrack that fits perfectly with the rhythm. The songs and the aesthetics reminds me a lot at the Guitar Hero series as well as the gameplay.

    It has its flaws, but overall is a fine addition to the rhythm genre.

    PROS:
    + Story mode
    + Soundtrack
    + 80’s aesthetics
    + Voice talent

    MIXED:
    - Graphics can be a little busy sometimes.
    - More variety of gameplay would be nice.

    CONS:
    - None really.

    It's a short and okay game. Some timing mechanics could use some work, but overall not bad.
