Child of Eden (Xbox 360, 2011)

From the creators of REZ (also REZ HD on the Xbox 360) Child of Eden puts you in the same type of "on rails" environment, and like REZ it uses music and visuals to make it not only a game but an experience. I prefer a controller but it can also use Kinect.

Both REZ HD and Child of Eden have 5.1 audio options, and sound fabulous on a 5.1 audio system. The music interaction with the game is half of the experience. REZ HD had more of a techno sound for the music, and more of a virtual reality or a machine feel, Child of Eden's music is a bit more pop and has more of an organic feeling environment as opposed to the machine environments of REZ.

Child of Eden (like REZ) is a short game, one that is meant to be played though multiple times, unlocking more things as you go and enjoying the experience. It's one of those games that I can come back to time and time again. Having bought the downloadable version of both Child of Eden and REZ HD on the Xbox 360, I can easily launch either REZ HD or Child of Eden right from the Xbox 360 dashboard making it the perfect game to launch after playing your other games!

This game is quite interesting. I originally thought it was completely made for Kinect, but I found that you have the option to play it with your controller or with the Kinect. This is actually a great fact about the game. If you feel like just kicking back and relaxing while shooting down some super-colorful objects, the controller is the way to go. But if you really wanna get into the music and all the colors and lights, Kinect is definitely where it's at. So, hence, the game is very flashy.

The game is fun for kids to jump around and try to figure it out as well as somewhat captivating to an older audience. The gameplay is well-done for the style of game it is and what they obviously were trying to pull off with it. However, I think they made it overly difficult to progress in the game. You need to perform nearly perfect in a certain world in order to move to the next. It's highly based around it's visuals and music that go along with it, expecting you to shoot things as if trying to perform to the beat.

This can be a highly energetic game with the Kinect, or just a chiller with the controller. The choice is yours. Overall the game is good, but it lacks a good, solid story to go with it. So gameplay, music, or flashy people ---GAME ON! But if you're looking for an interesting story, another game may be of more interest to you. Don't get me wrong, check out the story line to see what it's about, but it's really nothing amazing.

Child of eden is a game for the xbox360 kinect. Child of eden is definitly a unique game. Very fun to play. The colors and design of the game are brilliant. This game is very challenging and is a good game for the whole family

The game is visually very beautiful, sorry that is too short. to play with the lights off. Beautiful graphics, the use of kinect is the difference, sorry you have to stand.
