Rez (Import) (Dreamcast)

Rez is fast-action shooter that takes you deep into the world's computer network. The "Project K" Network has recently been upgraded to handle the rapid expansion of the information age and the core, known as "Eden," holds the most advanced artificial intelligence the world has ever seen. Unfortunately, Eden cannot handle the ability to create her own thoughts and buckles under the pressure in an existential breakdown. She is lost deep inside the system, and you're the only one that can bring her back online, saving the world from utter chaos. [Sega]

If you’ve got both machines I urge you to go for the DC version, not only is it better in the presentation values, it’s also a true testimony to the machine, innovative, technically supreme and yet still offering a sound and rewarding gaming experience.

Rez is the first game since "Jet Grind Radio" for the Dreamcast to have this much style just shouting out at you all the time.

If you are a fan of the "Star Fox" series, or "Gradius," or simply like a more 'spiritual' feeling in your shoot em ups, this will impress you and suck you in like a giant brain-hoover.

It's quite simply so original that you'll absolutely love it, and play it through with a warm feeling in your stomach, or loathe it to the depths of your being.
