NiGHTS Journey of Dreams is a sequel to the best selling SEGA Saturn console NiGHTS Into Dreams. After 11 years of waiting for a NiGHTS sequel, the fans finally got what they need! I haven't played NiGHTS into dreams though, but I've been looking at videos from Youtube. First I will start off with the good things. The story in this game is about a 12 year old boy named Will and a 12 year old girl named Helen, having some bad dreams about real life problems. They both end up in a place called the dream gate, meet with and old Owl named... well, Owl and a purple flying jester named NiGHTS. There mission is to get the 5 ideya. Ideya are 5 orbs that show parts of your heart. There are also 2 old characters from NiGHTS Into Dreams. Wizeman and Reala. Wizeman is planning to destroy Nightopia, with the help of Reala. Now I will talk about the gameplay. Well, there are different control schemes you could use. Wiimote held vertically, Gamecube controller, Wiimote and Nunchuck, and classic controller. The way you control NiGHTS is exactly the same just like in the first game. But there is a different way to complete a level. In the first game there are ideya captures. In here, there are NiGHTS captures. You will need to save NiGHTS by going inside the NiGHTS captures and dualize with NiGHTS. Once you've done that, you will need to grab the keys from these things called goodles that fly on giant birds. Unlock all 3 NiGHTS captures, you will end up in the first boss fight. There are fun missions to try out! Like playing music in the sky, etc. The 5th mission in every level, is a harder version of the first boss fight in the level. Next I will talk about the features. There is Nintendo Wifi connection so you can race againts other players from around the world! When your in the dream gate, there is a place raise a cute little creature called Nightopians. If you use a paraloop (takes in objects after drawing a circle with twinkle dust with NiGHTS) in a stage on nightopians, they end up in a place called Mydream. If you do certain thing in a stage, the Mydream garden will evolve and change. If you paraloop enemies called Nightmarens, they will end up in Mydream and eat your Nightopians. You can also use Wifi connection to go to your friends mydream. finally the music is very beautiful and really fits the game! Especially the NiGHTS theme song "Dreams Dreams!"
Now the bad things!... Some of the bosses can be very confusing. Wii remote controls are hard. On-foot missions are not fun sometimes and you would rather fly with NiGHTS. The character movements during some cutscene don't look pretty good.
