Rez review

We added a review of Sega’s strange shooter:

The real joy in Rez is how Mizuguchi-san and his team have managed to amalgamate sound, vision and action into one comprehensive package, not to mention a viable storyline that makes sense for a change. Everything you do in the game corresponds directly to the soundtrack. Everything on the screen throbs to the bass sounds of one of the best trance soundtracks ever conceived for a videogame. As you fly through this 3D world, you shoot streams of energy at computer adversaries which in turn add electronic beats and rhythms to the soundscape. Additional rhythms are mixed throughout each stage to ensure things never sound alike.
