A joyous blissful hydrating nourishing follow-up to Rez, but I'm not the keenest sadly!! Child of Eden is a rly gorgeous example of that latestage Frutiger Aero Sharp Quattron Tech Advertisement aesthetiq, fully encompassed by Mizuguchi's spacey yoga house band, Genki Rockets. It's just a little loser of my own personal battle of appeals because none of this really hits my palate in the same way anything from Rez did. There's this lack of energy I can draw from Child of Eden - whereas Rez's thumping techno OST that blossoms in complexity across the span of a stage, alongside the Char Davies wireframe anthropology artstyle.... I just have a very clear fav, and Rez quite simply doesn't have the nerve to ask me to replay a stage with better scores to progress to the next one. Incredibly corp behaviour 🥲
Well worth a play/emulation for anyone who loves Rez though, there are like three games in this genre if i'm generous and Mizuguchi made most of them.

This game must have been extremely underwhelming considering I remember nothing about it.
Great game!
Played without kinect, just on controller, but i like the experience. It's very experimental.
The OST and the visuals are unique. Great game.

Not my cup of tea at all.
a beautiful sensory experience. songs are bops, visuals are stunning, together they are a delight. want more of these kinds of games
Tetsuya Mizuguchi and Genki Rockets work together to make a visually astounding masterwork of art, the music alone makes this game a 10/10.
I used to play it a lot, because I love the combo rhythm game + lovely ethereal & futuristic graphics.
Great immersive levels and melodic-techno music.
I like that you have to lock the targets with the PS3 Move device and then shoot at them.
The PS3 Move wasn't always accurate and could be a little frustrating.

hoooooooooooooly shiiiiitttttttt
É mais uma experiência do que um jogo, vale a pena tentar.
A very fun and different kind of game. I found it to be hard at first, but that was mostly due to the game having unique gameplay and so there's a small learning curve at first. The music is techno and a big part of the game. The graphics are okay but it's really about the gameplay experience which is unlike any game I've played before. It kind of like games from That Game Company on the PSN. It's also a pretty short game, took me a while because I kept putting it off.
This game's faults are apparent, and would have tanked most other games released in 2011. It's a very short game, with playtime being artificially inflated by requiring replaying of levels. The gameplay itself is a simplistic rail shooter and at release it costed a full $60. The people that enjoyed this game won't defend it from these faults, but what Child of Eden offers is so well executed that it doesn't really matter.
It's just one of those games that you can look at and tell right away if it's going to be for you or not, and for me it instantly clicked. The soundtrack was good enough that, even years before I had access to the game, it was common in my musical rotation. The gameplay and the rest of the sound design augment the Genki Rockets soundtrack and elevate what was already a fantastic score even further.
Graphically, the game looked better than most games that game out that generation, and it hasn't aged a day. Even if you view the graphic through the most critical, nitpicky, "this texture from 2011 has some artifacting on my 4k television", the artistic direction drowns out that voice. Every stage visually ties into the music and sound effect. When this game's firing on all engines, you feel it.
This is a game that I've returned to every year or two since my initial playthrough, and one I'll keep returning to. It's an engaging and beautiful rail shooter that's biggest crime is that there isn't more to it. It could have triple the length and not outstay its welcome. If you saw a clip of this game and it looked remotely interesting, you will not be disappointed if you hunt down a copy. One of the few games I really wish I had a Kinect for.
