An endlessly inventive and beautiful video game.
Players take the role of either /Claris? or /Eliot? who in turn play as /NiGHTS? a /Nightmaren? out to save the world of /Nightopia?. Never before or since has such a magical game been created, as NiGHTS?, the player flys over the many dream worlds, performing acrobatic stunts with the greatest of ease. Movement is natural and fluid, mulitple moves can be freeformly played and linked and all with such a simple control mechanic.
The goal of each level is to capture 20 blue chips to overload the [/Ideya capture]? and take back the orb it holds. After playing through four stages, NiGHTS? is transported to meet and defeat another /Nightmaren?.
Aside from the imediate game mission, there is the complex and involving [artificial life]? creatures, Pian's? and their genetically modified counterparts, the Mepian's?.
After the critical success of the original game, [Christmas NiGHTS]? came to appease everyones demands for a sequel. To this day a sequel is still just as unlikely, with the nearest development being the DoCoMo? mobile phone game.
