While it ends too quickly, it really is the best Kinect game to date, and anyone with one should look into this.
The game serves a spiritual successor/sequel to that of the PS2 classic Rez. The game works as an On-Rails shooter.You will be going through these abstract and beautiful environments destroying various targets, all while creating rhythms that go with the music as you are hitting them. Using the Kinect controls, each arm works as a separate weapon. Your left arm works as a machine gun, which is great for taking out enemies faster and it is needed to destroy purple-colored targets. Your right arm works as homing missiles, which is, of course, great for multiple enemy lock-ons and it can help rack up extra points. In each level you can also shoot down health pick-ups and pick up a special item that can clear enemies on the screen. For the most part the controls for the Kinect functions are rather intuitive and functional. The game also has the option for one to use a regular controller, but it feels rather boring just playing the game like that. Aside from that, the only other real problem is that it is a very short game, around four hours or so.
The game's biggest draw is it's visuals and music. Each of the game's levels have a very beautiful and surreal look to them, full of very vivid colors and intriguing designs. The atmospheric music that accompanies the superb visuals is also very soothing. The entire game basically comes off as a work of abstract art more than anything, and I like that a lot.
To sum things up:
PROS:
-Surreal visuals
-Wonderful music
-Solid controls
CONS:
-Short game
-Playing with just a controller is boring
So if you have a Kinect and you are in need of a game that provides you with incredible visual flair and a very abstract design, than this is really the only choice for you. This is the best game that you can own on the Kinect to date.
