NiGHTSL: Journey of Dreams.

Excellent game, tons of fun to play, with pretty good graphics by Wii standards, and lots and lots of depth. Not entirely sure why it didn't do very well. Seems like the right console for a colourful, surreal game.

lol no it was a disgrace to the original Sega Saturn NiGHTS. pretty much everyone knows this
---

How? I thought it was excellent, but it certainly wasn't as good as the original NiGHTS.
---

stiff air control
the missions completely killed the score attack element that defined the original nights.
a lot of the missions just plain suck, especially the ones with the humans. just tacky crap that serves no purpose other than to pad out the game

it was essentially a very poor man's version of the original nights. mediocre at best by itself; trash compared to the original
---

The air control was absolutely fine, assuming you used the analogue stick.

As for the missions, EVERY one of the eight worlds has a score attack mission, but other types of missions as well. ANd some of those missions were really enjoyable, like link attack. Besides, having different types of missions in each world helped round out the game, compared to the original.

I have at least 100 hours in that game. Definitely wasn't bad.

Nah, most of the missions were just filler. The OG NiGHTS was all about score attack, not all this other shit no one asked for. If those side missions were completely optional, there'd be much less of an issue. Making them mandatory pretty much ruined this game.

But...after you've beaten the game, you can go back and just replay the score attack missions (again and again and again).

Just out of interest, how many hours do you have in the original NiGHTS? I have about 500. Some superb scores, too.

Not worth sitting through all those other missions. And you know those missions where you play as the humans? Lol fam that shit was terrible

Amazingly, this is actually a good Sunhawk topic.

Yeah I enjoyed the score attack element of it much like the original.

To be fair, the link attack was excellent fun. I loved doing that. Got to 999 Links on several of the worlds. If anything, that should've been in the original game!

Some of the other *specific* missions were very enjoyable. The jewel catch on Crystal Castle; the mirror maze in Crystal Castle; the rollercoaster thing in Lost Park; the fluffy catch in Pure Valley.

giving nights a voice was a huge mistake. killed the character for me; it was much better off as a mute, which added to its ambigious gender. making it sound like a chick killed that mystique
---

I thought the voice was pretty much halfway between male and female (which is good). Also, the British accent was boss.
