    Lags like hell, half of the fps compared to original on saturn. You can play the saturn verion but it runs in tiny window. One point for having the original as option.

    Mix between collectathon, 2d racing game and arcade action. Strange mechanics, but straightforward when you figure out 'what goes where'. 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.    … Expand

    NiGHTS into Dreams is awesome. It is one of the best games of all time! Play through the beautiful dream worlds known as Nightopia and Nightmare. Bosses are awesome. Plus the graphics of the re release are outstanding.

    Good game, the end is just great but it doesn´t explains very much about the story making it confusing at the beggining for new players, it is a great addition to the PS3 library

    Reheating this antique was a risky venture, but the outcome is surprisingly good. If you turn a blind eye to its obvious archaism, what remains is pure fun. [CD-Action 13/2012, p.77]

    It's an acquired taste. [Issue#224, p.83]

    For a trippy rush of never-give-up candor and liberating loop-de-loops, take a trip back to the Sega Saturn and switch off your brain for a while. [Holiday 2012, p.81]
