Synaesthete review on Destructoid
Mar. 15th, 2008 02:51 pmI just read a review of Synaesthete on Destructoid. It was pretty cool. The article, that is. Synaesthete itself, needless to say, is awesome.
On comparison to Rez HD:
Compared to Synaesthete's, Rez's soundtrack might as well be the Best of Jack Johnson. The songs in Rez never really amped up until the boss fights or the later worlds; Synaesthete's music takes a lot less time to get, as the kids would say, thumpin'. Synaesthete is more fast-paced and fun than Rez. Synaesthete is prettier than Rez. Synaesthete is longer than Rez. I'm sure many who play both games will totally disagree with me on some or all these fronts, but I remain steadfast in my opinion that this little Digipen student game is a heck of a lot better than Mizuguchi's cult classic rail shooter.
