One of the most groundbreaking titles around... a truly unique ‘game’ and of the finest Sega created titles ever, one that everybody can play yet it’s individuality will divide gamers into those that love it and those that don’t.

I've discovered it’s pretty much impossible to sit still and play this game at the same time.

A minor masterpiece. [Feb 2002, p.57]

The music falls into the techno category, but it’s very bland until you start destroying enemies.

The music is where the game really rocks. While it won't be for everyone, if you're into trance and techno you'll be in love with the game.

Depth is definitely one of Rez's shortcomings, and sadly, it shows.

Whoa. This game is amazing (even better on weed). I love the unique visual style, and the music is excellent (especially levels 4 and 5). Be Whoa. This game is amazing (even better on weed). I love the unique visual style, and the music is excellent (especially levels 4 and 5). Be warned of these things, though: #1. its too short (only 5 levels), #2. its severly lacking in the gameplay department, and #3. since the music plays such an important role in the game, you should definitely have a nice sound system if u want to get the full experience. If you've got the hardware, i say this is a must buy.… Expand
