Christmas NiGHTS

"Same Nights formula, with a Christmas touch"

Chances are that not many people have this disc, since it was distributed with a magazine, and the copies of the disc were limited. Fortunately, I found a copy with a magazine a couple of years ago.

Gameplay(8): Pretty cool. For those of you who love and still play Nights, you know. It's a race, basically, but you fly, collecting blue orbs (20 of them per lap) and putting them into a device. Once you collect 20 orbs and put them in the device you move onto the next lap. Once you complete 4 laps you move on to fight a boss. This disc is differant from the regular Nights, though. Once you pass a stage you get to play a game of "memory". You match 2 "presents" and when you do, you get the present, an extra game play option. There are pretty cool presents, like a 3-D Sonic the Hedgehog game (not like Sonic 3-D Blast. This is actually 3-D!)

Story(5): The story simply is this: The Christmas tree from the center of town is stolen, and you, Nights, have to get it back.

Audio/Video(7): (music)It's alright, but gets annoying. Oh, and brace your self for when you pass the game because you'll have to listen to some Michael Bolton and Celeine Dion sound-alikes. Yaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Graphics are purty too, especially during the 3-D Sonic the Hedgehog Into Dreams... game.

Replayability(5): It get awfully boring after the 3rd race, but replay, replay, replay. It's the only way your going to get all the extras.

To buy or to rent(YES): You can't rent it silly! You can only buy it!
