Beat Hazard 2 is more of the same, but where I really have to get it credit is with its Open Mic feature. Since streaming has been prominent for long enough, not a lot of people are buying their music or downloading MP3s nowadays. While I like to own a good chunk of my music, it's much easier and more versatile to have a playlist of more than a thousand songs instead. The issue is that YouTube has ads and will fuck you up the ass with an 18-inch lawsuit if you try to say otherwise. Spotify has to go through so many mediators to get music on their service that working with them basically means working with a hundred other companies. So why not cut out the middleman and just use whatever's playing on your desktop? I have serious respect for the developers for modernizing this kind of game with blunt simplicity. Even if I'm not a massive fan of shoot-em-ups, these kinds of games need to start embracing this kind of technique.
