6.5 Presentation
Some impressive CG work is mixed with odd pacing, a somewhat problematic camera, but solid, classic Nights art style. A decent story overall, if not a bit overdramatic at times.
7.5 Graphics
Texture work is a bit weak, but the overall modeling and animations are pretty commendable. Effects add a ton to the experience, as does the trippy style.
8.0 Sound
The VO work is strong throughout, and some of the music is very, very captivating, despite a few odd tracks thrown in during the game' s finale.
6.0 Gameplay
Extremely stiff, often feeling like first-pass control. Platforming is a chore, and the classic flight control feels a bit sluggish. Pass on the IR mode right away.
6.0 Lasting Appeal
The game is only a few hours long, but the race multiplayer and online adds a bit to the experience. A lack of mid-level saving and checkpoints will frustrate younger gamers though.
