NIGHTS: Journey of Dreams

The 11-year-old Saturn title gets a Wii-ified makeover. It's pretty fruity. And very Japanese. The game's default control scheme is for suckers. (Maxim Pro Tip: Use the Classic Controller instead.) Basically, you fly around surreal landscapes as an asexual preteen, doing tricks and racking up high scores. Some of the game's boss battles are annoyingly confusing. And they feature time limits, which means you could be kicking some major ass, then suddenly find out that time has expired. That sucks. Without a doubt this is one of the most unique games we've played all year. But that doesn't make it good.
