NiGHTS into Dreams...

I'm not sure how Sega is going to accurately describe this game because the levels of zaniness pretty much defy description. I heard many rumors about Nights, but actually seeing the thing gives you mixed feelings. You're definitely delighted to see some sharp graphics and great 3D objects flying about, but how do you control this madness?

Of course that's what you probably said the first time you saw Sonic the Hedgehog on the Genesis. Fortunately, NiGHTS into Dreams is also pretty easy to control and will have you flying about like a nutty fairy in no time flat. The 3D controller Sega will pack in with the game also adds to the experience that is Nights. The first levels consist of simple flying through loops and similar tasks, but later stages reveal a vast array of different challenges and perspectives.

So far, the music is simply brilliant, with happy Sonic tunes along with more serious-sounding arrangements. Sound effects are also neat, but aren't incredibly noteworthy. They aren't aggravating or poorly done so that's definitely a check in the plus column. When completed, the world of Nights will be large and somewhere you'll want to be.
