The purple jester soars through the air once again
Story 9/10: 2 characters: A boy named Will and a girl named Hellen each with some troubling issues with their parents. Wills father is getting distant with him while Hellen seems to be the time with her mother for granted. Both are pulled into the world of dreams due to nightmares they are having. There they meet NIGHTS and explore the world of dreams not only to save their dreams but also all of Nightopia from the evil wisemen. Theres some evil, some harmony, and a shocking twist or 2 that will fill you with the magic of dreams.
Gameplay 8/10: Flying around through 7 colorful enchanting worlds is fun but has a few occasional moments of dull. You will complete several missions each with their own tasks flying through rings to increase the time on the clock. You'll Gain masks for new powers, some levels contian special transformations, and the boss fights will become memorable for years to come. But with all this fun comes a few levels of actual platforming which for some reason are not so fun parts. When your not playing as Nights your just running around jumping and throwing orbs to confuse enemies. These arent really bad but they dont have any charm or outstanding platform elements but hey those are just 2 or 3 levels. Your level of fun will also be based one what controls you use to play the game. Nights as a wii exclusive contians motion controls, but also using the nunchuck connected and classic controls. The nunchuck and classic work great and flying is as easy ever but the wii remote controls are a little stiff. Pointing in the direction to fly is fine but when trying to pull off the loop attack it gets frustrating, ironic how the exclusive controls are the only ones that dont work properly. Sticking to the older model, its still an addictling fun game.
Graphcis 9/10: The world of dreams needs a good amount of thought. You need to have bright colors, good level design, and make it feel like your in a dream. Nights does all of this to an almost perfect scale. You see some graphic moments that arent as good as others, but with beautiful cut scenes and levels that look good even during NIGHTS's flying around you wont be disappointed.
Sound 9/10: Musical orchastra pieces are all through the game. Combine with the look the music gives you the feel of dreams and nightmares beautifully. You'll fly throw the worlds care free as you listen to these with an amazing theme song right off the start.
11 years ago a game was so good that it got hyped to create a sequal. Now with the delivered experience at hand i can see why. NIGHTS is a fun game that can reach out so that you may not want to wake up for a while.
