Summary

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.

A masterpiece. Will one day be regarded as being to videogames what Taxi Driver is to cinema. Innovative, bold and utterly unique.

Although i havent played it YET, i have managed to get my hands on a PAL version through ebay. Boy am i excited. I'll be one of a handfull to own Rez in Australia. I payed more than my dreamcast is worth to get it though ;). But i know it's worth it. If you can get your hands on a copy, you're one of the lucky few (especialy in Australia). this is video gaming as an artform. Pfft. it's too short? How long can you stare at the mona lisa without blinking? I watched Rez's trailer right through and i couldn't take my eyes away! now the gameplay...
