    Nights Into Dreams is out of its time. Still fun and well developed, can no longer surprise as many years ago.

    Leaving you with no indication on how to progress might have been quirky, innovative game design in 1996, but in 2012, it's an exercise in pure frustration.

Great for the adventurous person willing to patiently discover the strange gameplay and enjoy a bit of video game history too. It shows that a talented team made the game (Team Sonic at SEGA), especially in the seamless core gameplay and the uniquely inventive concept, but it also shows that games have become more refined since 1996.

    Offline leaderboards and a few trophies round off the PS3 version as a fun little deal, but I wouldn't want to spend much on it.    … Full Review »
