NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams

"One of the Better Wii Games"

This game was one of the better games. I always wanted a game where you can fly around and transform into a dragon. When I saw NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, I immediately put the game on my wish list. I finally got it. I didn't regret it for one second.

Story- 9/10
----------
This story features two young kids, Will and Helen. I am not going to spoil anything else, but it is like you are controlling some kind of fantasy movie. You may switch between the two as you wish. They have different levels, except for one, which you can enter at the start. The story is breathtaking and touching. Again, I don't want to spoil anything, so you should play it instead.

Music/sound- 10/10
----------
Wow. The music fit EVERYTHING. The opening song, if you close your eyes, it feels like you are flying. The voice of NiGHTS fit. The voice of Weizman fit. The voice of Will and Helen fit. Even the voice of the Nightopians fit. The music was breathtaking. The sound effects all fit, like when you fly through a ring. When you make a loop, it sounds good. The music and sounds are so perfect.

Graphics-10/10
----------
Once again, wow. The graphics are so lifelike. It's nothing like someone just threw random bright colors together; it is like someone took time with it. The graphics in all the levels fit everything, and once again, the graphics are one of the best features in the game. Well, everything is so I can't say that!

Gameplay-9/10
----------
The game play is pretty simple. You control NiGHTS with a Wii remote, Wii remote and nunchuck, or a classic controller. You fly through rings (to help you perform a trick that allows you to go faster called the drill dash), blue chips (or blue orbs) and destroy monsters called Nightmarens. To destroy Nightmarens, you either run into them with a drill dash or use a paraloop on them. The paraloop looks like a black hole that was suddenly ripped into the world from nowhere. But with Nightmares bosses, you can't simply use a paraloop. The only place this is lacking is the camera. You can't control it while you fly as NiGHTS, but you can as Will or Helen.

Length-9/10
----------
I played it for a long time. Really long time. I beat games quickly if they are good enough, so this is a good sign. After you beat the game, you can play it as much as you want so it is good for a long time.

My Dream/Wi-Fi-10/10
----------
My dream is a place where Nightopians and Nightmarens go when captured by a paraloop. It is similar to the Chao garden in other Sonic games The scenery changes as the Nightopians are happier, and that includes no Nightmarens. Nightmarens can eat Nightopians, by the way. If you have more Nightopians, it will look more like Nightopia. If you have more Nightmarens, it will look more like Nightmare. You can feed your Nightopians blue chips, but if you neglect them, they will faint. You must destroy Nightmarens before they eat Nightopians, of they will run away. Now, with Wi-Fi, you can visit other people's dream worlds, and help them take care of their Nightopians.

For you fantasy lovers, this is a must have game. I hope this review helped everyone. Thank you for reading. : - D
