    An odd one this. I played it once and hated it. I couldn't see the point. But i played it a second time, then a third and it grew on me. It hooks you with it's colours and music. It looks great even though it doesn't.... if you follow! A clasic 'Rent before you buy' type game. It's not for every one.

    Very hyped game, after all gameplay is borrowed from Panzer Dragoon. So what we've got here? not a bad game either, it combines an ok gameplay with an interesting way wich combines game with music. And that's very creative, you do music by killing enemies. A shame you don't get rewarded for that, you can only enjoy the posibilitie. Don't believe the hype, you'll Very hyped game, after all gameplay is borrowed from Panzer Dragoon.

Don't believe the hype, you'll see a good game with trance music you can like or dislike, but to appreciate the way yo do music while playing. It's also easy and short, very minor flaws by the way. Get this fair note as i reviewed tons of games everywhere.… Expand

    Un juego bastante original, diferente a los shooters convencionales. Eso si, un juego para disfrutar pocas horas porque es corto y poco rejugable. Eso si, las primeras tres horas son fantásticas, tienes la sensación de estar ante algo diferente, una fusión de música disparos de los más electrizante

    In wishing to both typify and exaggerate the visual style of a bygone age, Rez ultimately commits the cardinal sin of placing graphics before gameplay – a facet attributable to SEGA's desire for the title to be seen as art.

    It’s the first shooter I’ve played that’s demanded not just my reflexes, but also my intuition. A trip worth taking. [Feb 2002, p.156]

    If you're in the mood for something that is decidedly different than other games on the market, Sega's quirky, abstract art-influenced shooter just might fit the bill.
