5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Game Sega Ever Made?, November 11, 2002

This review is from: Nights Into Dreams (Video Game)

A Game Informer Editor not all that long ago reviewed this game as part of their past reviews section. He said it was his favorite game of all time. When EGM magazine made their list of top 100 games of all time, this game was higher on their list than any other game by Sonic Team. I love this game, and would not part with my copy for anything. Why? SO glad you asked.

First of all, this game has some the prettiest graphics to be found anywhere. No, not the smoothest, not the highest polygon count, not the most astonishingly technically ect, ect. This game may be old, but the graphics have STYLE, they flow, and they are FAST.

Secondly, the music of this game is some of the coolest ever produced for a video game. From the neat intro to the music played after you defeat a boss or a level, the music in Nights is pure magic (except perhaps for the terrible end game music). And not only that, the music changes in the levels depending on how you interact with Nitopians and how well you do.

But of course the real thing that makes any game great is GAMEPLAY, and this is the area where Nights is mind-blowing. Every level is a 3d on tracks wild ride, morphing, spinning, zooming, and zipping. Through these levels you are constantly trying to at a brisk pace in order to keep from running out of time. And you are trying to rack of bonus points. And then, you reach the only part of the level and wonder...should I go around again for more points, or should I play it safe and exit the level now? You'll only get good points if you exit BEFORE time's up AND get tons of bonus points. And then there's the bosses. They may be pretty easy to beat, but you're timed. Beat them faster to rack up more points. Beat them slow to, well...lose points. It all becomes quite addictive, quite quickly. And controlling Nights is breeze with the Saturn 3d analog controller (I Do NOT recommend using the standard saturn controller for this game. It's not nearly as intuitive and just takes too much away from the experience.)

About the only major negative point that can be made in reguard to this game is that it's too short. If it had double the amount of levels it would be perfect. But even at it's tragicly short length, Nights is an undisputed classic. Every level has replay value galore, thanks to the grading system, and the previously mentioned interactive soundtrack. And even when you've long since beaten the game and played it to death, you'll find yourself picking it up once in while for one more try at breaking your highest score. All in all, it's worth buying a SEGA Saturn for this game alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Sega Saturn release, July 24, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Nights Into Dreams (Video Game)

NiGHTS tells the story of two children named Elliot and Chris who fail miserably at their favorite hobbies. That night they have the same dream and meet each other and NiGHTS, a Nihgtmaren that lives in the Dream World. He needs their help because the two children possess red dream energy which is bravery.Together they set out to destroy Wiseman, creator of the dream world who wants to conquer the universe.
NiGHTS uses the system's power to the best of its ability with stunning 3-D graphics and colorful worlds. The game is very challenging at first but gets easier in time. Also their is another game in this game, if you know what I mean. This game is called A-life, or artificial life. You can breed 3 different types of Nightopians,creatures that inhabit the Dream World. The combinations are endless!
NiGHTS is a must have for Saturn fans. Also if you love NiGHTS, check out the sequel, Christmas NiGHTS!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, July 2, 2002

This review is from: Nights Into Dreams (Video Game)

Nights was made by the people who made Sonic, Sonic team and by many considered to be their best game.

Nights is an amazing, creative game and I wish they would have made a sequel. Nights is full of colorful levels and can be pretty challenging at times. The graphics really show off Saturn's power. As for play control, you need the 3D controller to play which looks like the Dreamcast controller where you use the analog controller to do moves that a regular D-pad couldn't do. The story line is confusing but interesting like the rest of the game.

Overall Nights is a captivating, original game that every Saturn owner should have.
