  Rez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rez is an on-rails shooter similar to Panzer Dragoon, with the player portrayed as an onscreen avatar travelling along a predetermined path through the levels.
In Rez, the number of player lives is expressed through player forms; players can gain increments to their evolution bar, and every 8 increments results in the player upgrading to a higher form, while getting hit by an enemy downgrades the player to a lower form.
This sliding scale of difficulty was employed by Sega to keep Rez enjoyable for those who played the game with a light hearted mindset, and to keep the game difficult for those who were more adept at the game.

 Rez
Rez also has several different modes that are unlocked when initially defeating a level including a Score Attack mode, where the object is to get a high score, a Traveling mode, where you can’t die and can just experience the game for itself.
Rez is a cool throwback with sleek vector line wire-frames, simple polygonal objects, bright flashing colors, and general abstract geometric feel that give it a distinctive and quite beautiful style.
Rez takes a definite abstract look throughout and the look might be a bit shocking, especially if you’re used to today’s realistic games, but older gamers and fans of the era should definitely eat it up.

 The Armchair Empire - Playstation 2 Preview: Rez
It seems we are in the space age and I have a hunch that Rez, in development by UGA (United Game Artists; a Sega subsidiary) is the multi-medium and that PS2 is the space age console.
Rez previously known as Project K was debuted at E3 2001, hidden in the corner of the invitation only Sega booth moving on a 20 inch screen in video form, replaying a 2 minute loop perpetually.
Rez is your basic shooter on rails ala Space Harrier/Panzer Dragoon yet is made holy by its dependency on music.

 Rez - GameCritics.com
Rez clearly has Tron-based inspirations: one of the bosses is clearly inspired by the films Master Control Program control tower.
The extra modes are a necessary addition to the already short game, but for any casual gamer who doesnt like to replay levels these extras may never see the light of day if he or she cant sit with the game to replay levels and unlock them.
Playing Rez can be highly infectious even if for just a few minutes, so even the casual gamer might want to try that stage "just one more time." Because targeting and shooting is always associated with the music, the creation of beats and sounds is something I couldnt escape.

 Rez (ps2: 2002): Reviews
If most of the fun of Rez is simply absorbing the sound and light show -- and a remarkably fine show it is, thanks to excellent work by a group of several talented electronic music artists -- it still offers plenty of replay value.
Rez is an experience like no other and rather than go on to explain the various complexaties of this gaming masterpiece I shall leave to with the simplistic and blindsighted one most 'reviewers' insist on tarring it with.
Rez is still a tangible experience and its only midway through you realise you are experiencing something very special.

Rez for the Playstation 2 seeks to create a sense of synaesthesia, literally a crossing of the senses, so that you can "see" sounds or "taste" colours.
Tetsuya Mizuguchi drew much of his inspiration for Rez from the concepts of Kandinsky, whose own paintings were influenced by music.
Mr Mizuguchi was thinking along similar lines when the idea for Rez came to him at a club, seeing the lights, feeling the vibrations and hearing the music all around him.

 IGN: Rez Review
The object of Rez is to appreciate the aesthetic experience, of which destruction is only a part, albeit an important one.
Rez is so unique as to be almost impossible to compare graphically with any other game (you can hardly judge it in the same technical terms), but I might be tempted to call it the best-looking game I've seen on the PS2.
Rez begins with one of the oldest of gameplay concepts, but the ambition and skill of the artists that built up what stands around that concept allow it to rise far above what we normally assume a shooter is.

 GameSpy.com - Reviews: Rez (PS2)
This review of Rez is thus a yin-yang experience for me, and the start of a long list of contrasts that this game seems to thrive on.
Some may completely miss the existence of a story in Rez, and some may question the need of a story in a shooter at all, but the concept (when you catch it) is none-the-less intriguing.
Rez transcends (you know that the makers of the game love that word) my simple description, as it becomes readily apparent that the shooter aspect was secondary to the idea of just allowing you to exist in the world that Rez creates.

Rez, the latest game from Sega's United Game Artists, has a lot in common with the developer's last game, Space Channel 5.
Like Space Channel, Rez is very easy to pick up and play, it oozes with a unique sense of audiovisual style, and it's a game that you can finish in under an hour.
Yes, Rez is a game, but its focus most definitely isn't on its gameplay.

He had an older sister named Sharon who was always a bit jealous of Rez, but for the most part, things were all fine and good, at least until Rez hit his pubescent years.
She had a brother by the name of Gage with whom she was really close, and things seemed to be going good, but then one day she simply vanished, along with her brother, never to be heard from again.

Rez will sample the input and produce output files at a resolution and size controlled by you.
Some of the main design goals of the framework are to be able to handle large terrain datasets, build models unrestricted in size that can be displayed with acceptable performance over the web; and provide a structure that is highly flexible for which implementers can easily build plugins to process different formats.
Rez is designed as a multi-adaptor (my term) with a central program (Rez.java) which allows the input parser to be plugged in and the output generator to be plugged in.

 Review - Rez /// Eurogamer
Because although Rez is based around a tried and tested formula, UGA have done something truly amazing with it.
Rez plays a lot like Sega's classic Space Harrier, with the camera watching the action and player from a third-person perspective, as he/she/it progresses through each level on a set course.
Rez is one of those games which shouldn't be released at full whack.

I have always considered Rez to be a "grunge" rock band, but in 1985 I didn't call them that, because grunge wouldn't become known for another half-decade at least.
The reason I say this is to prove an important point: Rez was WAYYYY ahead of their time.
Anyway, in 1985, Rez released an album called Between Heaven and Hell, which contained some great songs and most would probably agree that it is their greatest work.

NCS won't attempt to definitively classify and try to fit Rez into the "shooter" mold or slap on the "rhythm game" label and leave it at that.
The error occurs at the immediate outset of the loading process when the DC moves the drive laser from the inner track to the outer track in one smooth motion.
A simple solution to help your older Dreamcast boot Rez would be to flip the Dreamcast 90 degrees on it's side when loading up Rez or turn the console over entirely.

Instead Rez enjoys a steady balance of interesting graphics and what might be described as interactive music.
There's a strong argument on what Rez actually is. One could argue that it's a traditional shooter, with power ups, a linear path, and a number of interesting, yet unique, levels.
Rez is indeed a traditional shooter, but also features elements used in a number of high quality music–games.

The main character is viewed from a third-person perspective as it floats through a virtual world shooting any enemies who happen to cross its path.
But what Rez lacks in terms of gameplay innovations is made up for, in spades, by the amount of sheer style present in the game.
With that said, know that to fully experience Rez, you're going to either need a good pair of headphones, or a place where you can turn the music up...
