What Child of Eden does well is show how well Kinect can work when incorporated correctly. I've read some reviewers saying the gamepad (controller) ultimately still rules, but I set out playing it on Kinect and to judge the game purely from that point of view. Just like playing any Call of Duty game on Wii you are restricted in viewing, but again, it opens up other avenues that are in turn restricted by traditional controllers. (BTW, I own Wii, PS3 and Xbox so I'm not console fanboy - I purely play a game for what its worth: the game and not the console.)
This is definitely my first "kinect" title I feel like keeping forever. All the others, including Kinect Sports (that I really enjoy), won't have a long shelf live, purely on how quickly they wear thin and how often the publishers will bring out new titles. But with Child of Eden, it's a jewel I want to keep - though I have to add as stated all over these reviews: it's short.
The sense I got from playing the game was a little nostalgia back to the 80's when colourful lines running criss-cross across a computer screen was seen as a huge advancement in technology. That excitement of experiencing something you knew were amazing was somehow rekindled while playing Child of Eden. It's not "breathtaking" in the sense that you have super realistic looking landscapes or LA Noire-like cutscenes, but it's captivating in the method of sound and light/colour combination. I do wonder how younger generations would react to this kind of title, as I do not see kids "getting it".
The gameplay is simple enough enough that your right hand can select many targets through waving over them, and then with a flick of the hand shoot simultaneously, and with the left hand you can fire a quicker laser (but weaker.) Left has to be used for pink objects that if they were to reach the front of the TV screen will deplete your health. Each chapter sends you down and up a voyage of colour and sound with no real goal in mind, except to enjoy the presentation. This is where I found Kinect to excel as you really do not get that feeling of competitiveness as one would with the controller - it's purely a ride of ecstasy.
I can't truly classify Child of Eden and I really don't know whom to recommend this game to. What I did find is that the game is more enjoyable if you play it intermittently, a chapter a day for example, instead of sitting down and rushing it through in one go (which can easily be done in the timeframe of one afternoon).
As long as publishers keep the pricing down on games like these (short ones and more indie-style), I would like to see more efforts from developers in the future in this direction. It's a nice break from the genres we've come to know to dominate the last decade or so, and a fresh injection into creativity, especially showcasing the strengths of Kinect.

Ok so i don't have kinect, this review is based on the gamepad experience. As i understand it the game tunes the reticule size and difficulty slightly between pad and kinect, and i am pleased to say that the experience when playing with a gamepad is fantastic. The movement speed of the cursor is spot on, and the game mechanics are a nice step up from Rez, this games forebear. Rez had a 3rd person character but it was just visual, you couldn't dodge incoming fire by moving, you had to shoot the bullets down. C of E works the same, but uses a firstperson view, the other good mechanical change is an indicator of the direction of incoming purple enemy bullets should one be coming in from the sides of the screen, removing any random damage. What's I am very pleased to report is that the game is just as intense as Rez and also has a really well judged difficulty, I was concerned that with a pad the game would be too easy but it's just right...there's plenty to shoot and plenty of incoming fire to deal with, also the levels are great on repeat play, you get better and better, and it's not a case of being able to master them after a couple of goes...just like Rez you will have 85% shot down and 75% items collected on a stage and will want to up the %ages.
Also of note aside from the main stages is Hope mode, a challenge mode of sorts, this in itself is better than most of the games i own.
It's very hard to describe the experience of this game beyond it being a musical shooter, where the music and visuals combine in an almost kaleidoscopic way. The visuals are incredibly beautiful and...playing this is like having a night out, it's so different to the videogame norm and wonderful for it. We're lucky that there are a few game makers out there that are true artists.

This wonderfully simplistic game provides you with a gaming experience like no other you have experienced before. After having spent a lot of money purchasing an Xbox Kinect, and up until now having relatively few games to play on it, this game makes purchasing a Kinect all worthwhile.
The story is not really relevant but throughout the game you are trying to save a girl and the internet. The game is essentially a first-person shooter but instead of killing people you are destroying corrupt data.
The Kinect incorporation is excellent and makes the game experience an embracing one. For example, with a simple flick of the wrist corrupt data can be exterminated. Kinect definitely makes navigating and exploring Eden's databases easier than using a standard controller due to its intuitive nature. Also, you can adjust the control schemes for both a regular controller and Kinect to find the style that suits you most. However, for those who do not own Kinect I wouldn't worry as this game is still fabulous whilst using a standard controller.
This game has a unique overall calming effect on the gamer that I have not experienced with any other game. The colourful sights and sounds work together to place you in a happy trance - I know this sounds strange but you cannot understand without experiencing the game for yourself. The techno soundtrack is simply stunning and accompanies vibrant and colourful visuals perfectly making it impossible for you not to become absorbed as the game is designed to make you part of it.
The only downside of this game is that it is over long before you would like it to be as only takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete. However, there are lots of unlockables and leaderboards to keep people's interest once the campaign is over. Also, I can definitely imagine myself picking this game off the shelf in a few months time and doing it all again.
Overall, this game offers something totally different from most modern day games in the sense that it has the ability to make the gamer feel very happy. I believe that everyone should experience this game, even if they are initially sceptical, as I bet they will end up enjoying it. A revolutionary game that will go down in gaming history.
