    The level of challenge and degree of difficulty ramps up smoothly over the course of the game, and all passage of time will slip by, as you become immersed and even hypnotized by the dazzling graphics and stunning music in Child of Eden; one of the most original games I've ever played this year on the PS3 and certainly a perfect fit for the PS Move.

    The gameplay in Child of Eden is simple, but its relative lack of complexity is easily outweighed by its fervent dedication to turning each player's experience into an inimitable work of art. [Dec 2011, p.80]

    If you enjoyed Rez, you will definitely want to pick this game up! Similar in style but with a few additions. It's an on rails, music rhythm game. Awesome soundtrack if you are into techno/dance music. Yes this game is short, buts not made to be a "play the 8 hours campaign" and be done with it. High replay value comes from trying to improve your score, which this game does have leader boards. If you have a 3D TV and a Move you are in for a real treat. It supports both! Also to truly enjoy this game you do need a set of headphones or a descent set of speakers. If you plan on using the tiny tv speakers you wont get to fully appreciate this work of art. Trust me, this will become one of those "hidden gems" that gets lost in the shuffle this generation. Disclaimer: If you have epilepsy you will want to skip this....… Expand

    What an impressive game! Like REZ, a true classic game that you can play whenever you want. The gameplay is simple, but addictive, the presentation marvellous and the sound awesome. Overall, a little bit short, but the price (18 €uro) was very attractive.… Expand

    This is a very different and unique game. And you MUST be aware of this from the start. First of all, undress yourself of any prejudices before playing this, since this isn't, by all means, your average game. We could say this is a "shooter", but even that would be accurate. This is more of a synesthetic experience, where you'll be juggling sounds, explosions and images before your eyes using either the PS Move or the sixaxis. It´s a visual, interactive poem and a beautiful, haunting experience that no one should miss. But always keep this in mind: this is an experience, not a game.… Expand
