It's not fair use and most copyright holders don't want to take down videos and claim them instead. That video is being claimed:

No, I don't recommend you do audiosurf videos.

simply put, if you don't have the rights from the copyright holders then you run the risk of getting it taken down, or a third party claim that you can not fight because you were not given the rights to record it

Fair Use is technically only a defense you can make in a court battle. It won't be long until you start to get ContentID claims from the music in these games and there is nothing transformative about just playing a music game, which means even if you went to court you would still lose.
