Most of the games given as examples are music-based games (not enough variety)

-While playing the game all you have to do is “…concern yourself with aiming and shooting…”
-The game sounds “claps” and “beats” when you kill an enemy. Leaving the player to create their “…own rhythm”
-In the game, there is also a boss that “…takes on the form of a running figure that chases you through hallways” adding thrill to the game
-Critics describe the game as not being about “…shooting and conquering, it’s about creating music”
-The game also takes you off the rails and sends you out to space to create your own music, and it gives you the complete freedom to fly anywhere
-Rez is also seen as “…hypnotic and enveloping”

-Tetsuya Mizuguchi is the producer of the game
-In the game, you have to “…mimic button presses on your controller in synch with an on-screen beat…”
-The game is based around a ”Morolien race” invading a space colony, and the player saving a resident colony from the Morolien’s as they make them dance mindlessly
-Yet there are timing issues with the game, as it lags
