New Found Respect
Jun 25 2003
My first review of this game was rather critical. After playing it for a couple of days I was a bit disappointed with the length, difficulty (it's not very difficult)and simplistic gameplay. Compared to a similar themed game, Panzer Dragoon Orta, it seemed lacking.
Now, two months later, I have to say that I really like Rez. Few games have made me come back to them time after time as Rez has. Few games have compelled me to get my friends in front of the tv and say "come on try it". Few games have such a great soundtrack.
That said, my interest in Rez started to pick up after I realized that besides the main game there is a score attack mode. This is a harder version of the game (yes!) and is very addicive. While the levels are the same, the enemy arrangement makes it seem like a new level.
In addition, the more you play the more you realize how the game is almost set up to allow for combos (ie shooting multiple objects at once. This is part of the fun of the game and makes it more than just a simple shoot them up.
I could go on and on but suffice it to say, I'm happy I bought a PS2 for this game. I wasn't at first, but now I see what a great game this was.
PS - If you like this get Panzer Dragoon Orta for XBOX. Similar gameplay to this but also incredible (and harder).
Excellent, but NOT a music game.
Jun 10 2003
This is an excellent game -- everything you read in the five-star reviews is true: the graphics are stunning, the gameplay is fun, and it's even fun to watch someone else play.
My only warning to you is this: do NOT expect a music game like Frequency or Amplitude. Rez is really just a shooter. The musical part of the game is merely an interesting feature, not the game's central theme. It's true that the objects you shoot explode with a musical phrase instead of a bang, but there's no way to control the placement of the notes. You're not really playing music, you're just kind of hearing it.
I highly recommend this game, but only as a fun shooter with amazing graphics -- and that also contains a clever musical element.

Amazing!
The games visuals, sound, and controls are an untouchable display of art, music, and entertainment. Although the story is unique, it is rather bland, but that doesn't take away... Read more

Gaming for gaming's sake- Super Powaqatsi Bros World
This game is very refreshing. This game has no pretense of trying to tell a story or even acheiving any type of objective (of course there's a plot to it, but very thin and only... Read more

"Man, what a beat!" -- Baloo the bear
First, I'm a hardcore freak gamer (Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Tekken 4, etc). This sort of game shouldn't appeal to me, since it's way too easy.
But... I love it. Read more
