What a game. Another example of how to take proven concepts and mix them into something that seems completely new and at the same time is coherent and incredibly well balanced. Rez, at its heart "just another 3D shooter," is such a game. Someone called it "Tron on acid" and I couldn't agree more.
The way the music accompanies the game action without ever sounding messy or discordant is awesome, too. As I am deaf since birth and rely on high-end headphones to use my computer and play my game consoles, I can truly appreciate the added immersion that the in-game effects - or should I say, instruments - provide.
Rez doesn't just try to push the technical limits of what can be done on game consoles/could be done on the Dreamcast. It turns the very essence of electronic videogaming into an art form of its own. When was the last time plain vector graphics looked so darned good?
Everyone should at least try this game once and see what they think. Me, I'm an addict from the first time I played this game.
A masterpiece...
