NIghts Into Dreams
This original game for saturn is very fun and colorful. My only complant is that some times the graphics and visuals are confusing and you cannot see very well. It is colorful, fun and has a great concept. The soundtrack is amazing, the bosses are fun, even though I have not completed all of the bosses. Anyway I do recommend buying this great saturn game for fans, family, and friends.

So fun, you might find yourself shelveing it for several months.

Yes, I know, the title is a paradox, but seriously guys, I found myself having so much fun with this game, I honestly thought I'd blow every circut in my brain if I played any longer, so I deliberately stopped playing for several months. Only now am I starting to venture back into it's world. This game... is even more addictive than Pac-Man. This is fact. I remember when we got the game. I bought it for like 60 dollars on ebay with the 3D controller and everything. We were very excited when we first got it, and we immedetely proceded to play till 10 PM and we were all like so addicted to it and we were having soooo much fun and... well, you get the point. Buy this game right now. I DEMAND YOU DO SO!!!

a real pleasant dream

Sega fans used to eat this game up and claim it to be the ultimate adventure. It sure is adventurous! It didn't become the all-time classic that gaming magazines thought it would, but Nights has some really spectacular graphics and leaves you with a pleasant taste in your mouth. It's unlike any other game I've ever played and when you're done playing it, you think about it. You think about how there's really nothing else like Nights out there. That alone should be enough for you to look into the game.

The graphics make you think "WOW!" Maybe the graphics are similar to Sonic the Hedgehog, but only slightly. Nights shows you how beautiful the nighttime can be if you give it a chance.

Very fantastic! The best fantasy-imaginably game I ever played!!!

I truly love this game. I mean, Nights is better than his cousin, Sonic. His flying with sparkles are great, as so the environment and atmosphere of the game itself.

Gameplay:
In the game, you choose which of the two children you'll be in the dream. After that, the one chosen will transform into Nights. He or she will play in an odyssey of dreams. A starter like that will keep you playing until the end.

Sound:
The sounds are so fantastic, especially in the main menu, with charming melody and lovely children singing on background. There is also a song in the end entitled "In The Nights". So cute!

Graphics:
The graphics are outstanding. Very luscious. It is so peculiar in other games. When you look at it, it doesnt look like a dream, but a reality of your imagination! Full of magic too!

Replay:
The two paths will keep you coming back for more!

Step Into Their World, where there's countless things to see, endless possibilities, let them take you to a place where desires flow deep. See an odyssey of dreams and an exciting adventure of a very whymsical game! This is the best SEGASATURN GAME!

...can describe this game. Anybody looking at this game at first glance, and I mean ANYBODY, would not think that this game would be entertaining for more than ten minutes. But take a second glance and you'll see something that borders on perfection.

This game takes place in a dream world, literally, known as Nightopia. The two "main characters", Elliot and Claris, fall to sleep and that's when this takes place. It's a strange story, as the evil Wizard Wizeman in Nightopia is after Ideya, which are orbs of power possessed by sleeping humans. There are five different kinds if Ideya, each representing a different trait: white for purity, green for wisdom, yellow for hope, blue for intelligence, and red for bravery. Red is the rarest of the five, and the two protagonists have it. And he's after it. Yeah, weird, huh?

Even stranger is how the gameplay is so incredible. You take form of a Nightmaren... creatures created by Wizeman to find Ideya. To his top two Nightmaren, Reala and NiGHTS, he has given free will. Reala follows Wizeman, but NiGHTS takes its own path, joining forces with Elliot and Claris to free the other Ideya from Wizeman's capture.

You do so by flying around a 2D 3D world. You ask, huh? You fly around a 2D path in a 3D world, but that path constantly changes angles and direction to lead you around the entire 3D arena. Pick up 20 blue chips and deposit them into Ideya Capture containers, or whatever they're called, and you'll break it open, freeing the Ideya. Deposit it back to a checkpoint and you'll take a new path to another Ideya Capture thing. There is no health bar, only a timer. If you run out of time your score gets reset and you have to start that round over. On completion of four rounds, you proceed to the boss of the level. After each round and boss you'll receive a grade based on your performance, and then an average grade for the whole level. If your grade is C or better, you'll proceed. Otherwise, you fail and have to try over again. Get an A on all levels, and you get the true ending.

Sounds really really really plain, right? Well, it can be, if you just go straight through each level not going for an A. Once you start shooting for a higher grade, though, is when you'll see why people rave so much about this game. The smoothness of your motion and the near-perfect design of the levels and rounds makes for a game that is beauty in motion, and challenging to perfect.

People who love this game call this game the Masterpiece of Sonic Team, rather than their other more popular and well-known work... like, uh... Sonic.

As for the graphics, well, they're smooth and flowing with cool effects. Excellent visuals.

Bluntly, this game can be close to perfection if you can handle it. Many may be turned off by the concept and gameplay, but those who can see further into it will get something more than a fun game out of this. It's an experience.

The one and only bad thing about this game is that Sonic Team is too scared to try to make a true sequel because of the standards set by the original. If you absolutely need more NiGHTS, look for the small extra Christmas NiGHTS.

Saturns best Title!

The Best Game Sega Ever Made?

A Game Informer Editor not all that long ago reviewed this game as part of their past reviews section. He said it was his favorite game of all time. When EGM magazine made their list of top 100 games of all time, this game was higher on their list than any other game by Sonic Team. I love this game, and would not part with my copy for anything. Why? SO glad you asked.

First of all, this game has some the prettiest graphics to be found anywhere. No, not the smoothest, not the highest polygon count, not the most astonishingly technically ect, ect. This game may be old, but the graphics have STYLE, they flow, and they are FAST.

Secondly, the music of this game is some of the coolest ever produced for a video game. From the neat intro to the music played after you defeat a boss or a level, the music in Nights is pure magic (except perhaps for the terrible end game music). And not only that, the music changes in the levels depending on how you interact with Nitopians and how well you do.

But of course the real thing that makes any game great is GAMEPLAY, and this is the area where Nights is mind-blowing. Every level is a 3d on tracks wild ride, morphing, spinning, zooming, and zipping. Through these levels you are constantly trying to at a brisk pace in order to keep from running out of time. And you are trying to rack of bonus points. And then, you reach the only part of the level and wonder...should I go around again for more points, or should I play it safe and exit the level now? You'll only get good points if you exit BEFORE time's up AND get tons of bonus points. And then there's the bosses. They may be pretty easy to beat, but you're timed. Beat them faster to rack up more points. Beat them slow to, well...lose points. It all becomes quite addictive, quite quickly. And controlling Nights is breeze with the Saturn 3d analog controller (I Do NOT recommend using the standard saturn controller for this game. It's not nearly as intuitive and just takes too much away from the experience.)

About the only major negative point that can be made in reguard to this game is that it's too short. If it had double the amount of levels it would be perfect. But even at it's tragicly short length, Nights is an undisputed classic. Every level has replay value galore, thanks to the grading system, and the previously mentioned interactive soundtrack. And even when you've long since beaten the game and played it to death, you'll find yourself picking it up once in while for one more try at breaking your highest score. All in all, it's worth buying a SEGA Saturn for this game alone.

An original and entertaining game.

NiGHTS tells the story of two children named Elliot and Chris who fail miserably at their favorite hobbies. That night they have the same dream and meet each other and NiGHTS, a Nihgtmaren that lives in the Dream World. He needs their help because the two children possess red dream energy which is bravery.Together they set out to destroy Wiseman, creator of the dream world who wants to conquer the universe.
NiGHTS uses the system's power to the best of its ability with stunning 3-D graphics and colorful worlds. The game is very challenging at first but gets easier in time. Also their is another game in this game, if you know what I mean. This game is called A-life, or artificial life. You can breed 3 different types of Nightopians,creatures that inhabit the Dream World. The combinations are endless!
NiGHTS is a must have for Saturn fans. Also if you love NiGHTS, check out the sequel, Christmas NiGHTS!
