Child of Eden - Xbox360 - GR-review


Child of Eden is a game that should be spoken like a game not. Sure, it is a rail shooter, a "spiritual successor" Rezwith optional Kinect determines where the goal is to shoot enemies, collect stars rated to unlock levels and works of art and a digital girl named lumi lives to save network of an unknown virus in Eden. I can criticize fully, as it is, as it has a multiplayer mode, as would the OCTO lock should be too short for $50 able to shoot purple bullet that only for the new rapid-fire tracer are vulnerable and how the purple bullets off camera or obscured by objects, which are red purple or blue-violet can be occasionally.

But that is not, what care Tetsuya Mizuguchi really game designers, even what he wants. Every word that describes the game mechanics are relatively unimportant. So forget everything, what I just said, and instead, you will notice that even though words never perfectly, the seamless blend between music and graphics on the screen are expressions, this is as close as I can get. Everything that I feel about child of Eden can be surrounded by opening cutscene.


I call from my eternal sleep, my senses alive for the first time, the sky, the garden, the horizon in between. I know not the meaning of life or paradise, but how in the world view, I am beginning to understand. I smile and streunende. I wonder, and delay. I see my reflection in a puddle of my feet and knees with curiosity, before a silent surprise. I see the world in waves, the edges of the archive, and a moment look, it comes to me.

I feel the pulse of an acoustic tunnel. The space bands swarm through my body with chorded dynamics. I drive by rhythmic trance, drawn by an invisible string, that draws me in a synaptic, silvery, spectral stream - dusted a slithering euphoria grains with the buzz of a kaleidoscope. I float incandescently as a supernal star, whose light with each ball staccato and fluttering sound vibrates. In light device to its core, that universe shines and seems like Las Vegas the night before his innocence away and filled in neon.


The viral spreads enemies are only light of biological organisms in a pitch, jellyfish Aquarium echoes, fishy arpeggios and the reverberating murmurs of whales. Grows to musically in a multi-tiered floral arrangement, how organized an array of tone colors of wonder and Serendipity. The system with the creation of a supernova swirls originated from the prismatic fire of the Phoenix to the severity of the spherical twins. Cleaning is the melody of which it seems happy, and I have become his beloved Piper.

I go the harmonious slide through Butterfly sound games and shrills Prophet. The rapturing composition rattles my being with the trembling a reinforced strum. Fragments of Nirvana I mount with platonic and in an instant sync. I hear the phrase of the most cosmic resonance, celestial beats per minute. I know lost freedom, its hilly gravity along the center of the masses, the limits of my imagination unlimited music.

But then I blink, and I feel the corruption. I am done all too early.

B+Revolution in the report card + synesthesia + magic and special + strong Kinect controls Replayable but much too short for $50 - cannot be locked on balls with OCTO-lock.

I can not even believe that game was revolution Rez 'C'. Admittedly, that was before I came on the game revolution, but still... I still would hiking by candy store and think, was me, all right with the world, until I remember that darn 'C' and then I covered in blood, despair and jelly beans to wake up. What can I say? I like sweet things.

click to enlargeWhen I Rez disgusting watch from an objective point of view, it is certain, a plain rail shooter, which is short and coincidentally have beautiful colors and a more trance track. But, this is not easy. It is each other as looking at the infamous Banksy "Gay Bobbies" stencil of two British policemen kissing street and say that it just vandalism; or play Shadow of the Colossus and say that it just a game with nothing but huge boss battles and horse abuse. Rez must simple gameplay, but it is also a psychedelic beat journey with a Synaesthetic soundscape of enveloping is adapted only to the actual taking of drugs can be. Probably a combination of them. (I would know not the right cocktail, of course...)

As the spiritual successor to Rez, child of Eden , the same mental Mindtrip tries except with even brighter HD induce colors and possible greater epileptic. An 11-year-old boy with Nickelodeon owned can not resist the prismatic brilliance, the Rainbow hypnosis made flashing Skittles reflective across the screen like a disco ball from. He can ignore nor sweet back beats and synth seamlessly synchronized vocals with sparkling visuals. How do I know? Because I had to play it. He forgot for two minutes Flash. It hurt him, and he can not now stop. I'm sure this is it somehow... in a good way scar... I hope.

The similarities with Rez go beyond pure style. Not only the player is explicitly save a Ki system in the form of a young woman, this time named lumi, but there are also four archives that need to be cleaned of viruses before the final archive is unlocked. To do this, players have two weapons: the familiar high-damaging laser, which can block on up to eight targets and a new rapid-fire weapon that shoots down purple objectives. So to defend against the enemy purple bullet, scoring enough points with the laser OCTO-lock to earn stars for the development of new levels only be achieved by switching between weapons quickly.

click to enlargeFor players boldly means this mirror enough, use the Kinect controls between their right arm for the laser and its left arm for the machine gun with ease. As child of Eden is a rail-shooter, players must move the Reticule around too much, but they need to keep up with boss viruses, which glide over the edge of the screen (and dealing with the burn in your arms). Those with the controller have a much easier time, so to make things fair, raised the point threshold for stars, and the aperture is much smaller. In addition, that there are not much more complex than picking up some additional health power-ups and screen clearing euphoria, by activating both hands (or pressing a button sounds... but that boring, eh?).

My hope is that kind of Eden more content, either in the game or via DLC, and the 20 star to relax the requirement for the achievement of the last level. Perfection is a bit scary, forcing players levels play probably more than they want. Luckily, players to feel the difficulty, can play Eden free, convert without thinking about the score. And it's hard to complain that more good, and if it something like Rez, then am I ready to play a kind of Eden at least fifty times within the end of the year. Make you are ready for blissful hallucinations as a kind of Eden 14 June 2011 arrives.
