The same corridor style psychedelic music shootery, now with more Natal-based gestural control!
(

I'm not sure about the gesture control. I mean, it'd be 100 kinds of awesome if I could play it on a screen as large as the one in the trailer, but um... My screen ain't that big. It'll be interesting to see how it goes over.

Also for Playstation Move, which is what I'll be getting it for. It certainly looks like it would benefit from a monster screen. I hope its in 3D too, that way I can justify getting a mahooosive 60+" 3D screen.

Rez is one of my favourite games of all time, so I'm obviously looking forward to this. But the song in this trailer isn't nearly as exciting as the better Rez tracks.

I am for some reason incredibly in love with that techno rave-y backing track. So much so I've replayed the trailer three times in a row, found the full track on Youtube, and am prepared to blast it at 1 AM on my speakers with the dial all the way to 'apartment block forming lynch mob outside my door'.
Seems to be a nice looking game to the music too.

So did anyone get this? I picked it up for PS3 this weekend (along with Dark Souls!) and played the first level. Looks great, it's quite fun but boy is it hard with the Move. I need to do some serious recalibration to get it sensitive enough to not be arm breaking as standard calibration requires massive sweeping arm movements to get around the screen/world.

I played it on Kinect. It was easy enough to control, although visually I found it more than a little confusing. But I didn't have much fun with it, nor was it enough of a workout to be valuable in that respect, so I shelved it after a couple of levels.

How?
I've only played the first 2 levels but unless something changes/gets more complex after this I can't see how one would find it confusing?
I'm not playing it for a "work out" though (The Fight is enough for that).
The second world seems to have the Star Line remix as the soundtrack. I haven't finished it yet but it seems to me that the track isn't going to be "complete" because I haven't taken out some of the peripheral creatures (those stingray things that float around the big whale with diamonds all over it). I'm not sure if the game works like that yet.

I'm hoping for a demo - reviewers quite clearly find the game compelling, but the reviews themselves are generally vague on what it is that makes the game worth playing. I don't think I remember many games where the reviews were fumbling to make their point to that extent.

There's a whole lot of stuff on the screen, the vast majority of which is apparently irrelevant - but not always. The most important visual cues are orange, purple, and blue, rather than identifiable entities, but even the colors aren't used entirely consistently, so some stuff you're supposed to shoot I didn't think to shoot. Worse, the tutorial shows you closeups of lockons, but by that time it's too late, so in practice lockons look rather different from what I was told to look for. There are parts of the game that are probably almost impossible for the color blind. ...And for that matter, I didn't find the main beat strong enough, either, in any of the tracks I played, which is annoying since shooting on the beat is relevant, but I wasn't sure which beat they were referring to.

I
only got it for that, otherwise an acid-trip rail shooter doesn't particularly interest me. I have several workout games, and I'm always looking for more, 'cause I quickly get bored of them (which is also the reason why I don't just do ordinary aerobics).

Yeah. The game is weird.
