The left hand controls a purple homing laser used to defend against enemy attacks, and raising both hands launches the powerful 'Euphoria,' which is a massive screen-filling attack.

For instance, on Kinect, players target foes simply by swiping over them with a reticule controlled by their right hand, and launching attacks by thrusting that hand towards the screen. The main difference, however, is that Child of Eden has been built from the ground-up to take advantage of the power in modern systems, and is especially well-tuned for motion control. The game 'flies' through rails-style stages targeting and shooting all manner of wildly imaginative and colorful foes.

Lumi and Eden, however, are threatened by 'viruses' and entities within Eden, and this is where the player comes in-for it is the player's job to venture into this world to save both Lumi and Eden as a whole.Īgain, this is where players familiar with Q? Entertainment's seminal Rez will find a lot of familiar territory.

And herein lies all the collected knowledge of human history. Two hundred years later, the collected memories, and essence so to speak, are recreated within the confines of Eden-which is the name by which the internet is known in the future. After her death, all her memories and that which defined her was recorded and archived. Here, the story concerns a woman called Lumi, who on the notable date of September 11th, 2019, became the first person born in space on the International Space Station. Like Rez, Child of Eden concerns a hero (the player) venturing into a virtual reality, or technological inner-space, in order to combat technological baddies therein. Child of Eden is a rhythmic, visually expressive shooter from Q? Entertainment and essentially a spiritual successor to Q? Entertainment's classic shooter title Rez.
