NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams

I got NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams yesterday, its good. The movies and flight levels are GREAT, the kid levels are blah, and the in-game cimemas look bad.

You can tell they rushed the game, they should not worry so much about x-mas. I like the game, but it could have been a lot better. You can't skip the cinemas, the story is ok, but the cinemas look Dreamcast quality, not Wii. The rest of the game is not like that, the rest of the game rocks.

The 1st boss NiGHTS. Its like the old game too where if you die past the 1st loop of a level or a boss, you start from the beginning. Thats waht can make it hard, but once you know what to do it gets easy.

There are a few control setups. It plays interesting with the Wiimote where you just point at the screen, it’s a tad harder to do the loops though. Then I tried the classic controller, works great, like classic NiGHTS. I think the Wiimote + Nunchuck works the best, the analog is a tad smoother overall.

Overall the game is good, would have been great if it was all flight levels and the in-game cinemas didn’t look so bad (ie. DC quality). Ya, these may seem like more than minor gripes, but the main levels are so much fun (like the original), most people won't care.

Thats my intial impressions, lets take it to the boards for more discussion.
