Product Details of Rez

Description

Rez is a 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. You must blast complex viruses, unlock passwords, and destroy firewall bosses as you search for Eden. Each stage is in a constant state of flux dependent on your shooting techniques, which ultimately control the music and colors of your environment. The deeper you get into the dreamlike cyber world of Rez on PlayStation?2 computer entertainment system, your form will evolve or devolve depending on your progress, and the wire-frame environments give way to rich textured worlds.

Buy it if you can

Strengths: Gameplay is pretty intuitive. Music, visuals, and vibrations are perfect together.

Weakness: Game is too short and too hard to find. Some of the in-game screen text is hard to read. No multiplayer option.

Rez looks like what people in the early 80s thought hacking through a computer would look like; the player's character is a wireframe model who flies through a 3d wireframe environment full of colors and sound while enemies appear from all over. Players can lock on to as many as 8 targets at a time and when they shoot the targets, the sound the exploding targets make is in rhythm with the...

Work of Art

Strengths: + Visuals and Sounds are unique

Weakness: - short - difficult bosses - overpriced

Visually, Rez is a work of art. Even though it uses wire frame graphics, there's still a lot of detail and mixed with the bright flashing lights, it's a visual feast. The gameplay is quite simple, all you have to do is aim a cursor at the enemies and then shoot. The game is great but is extremely overpriced because Sega released only a few copies of the game. Because it's so simple and easy - I...

Rez

Perhaps there's what you need to grasp to get a strong handle on Rez. It's about sensory response of all sorts, mixed so subtly with the player's actions and reactions that you hardly notice at times what a complex feat of design it is. Don't be fooled by the simple gameplay, though -- this game took three years to make, and if you follow it carefully, you can understand why. Sad to say, that...

Rez

Take a bizarre ride to the Rez side. Think of it as a shooter with the Lawnmower Man versus DJ Funky Bass.
