I always thought the concept would be fun. I'll wait for more reviews.

Joystiq gave it 3.5/5.

As a concept, Rise of Nightmares has scads of potential. Properly applied, its mechanics could make for a grand adventure game, and I certainly hope that Sega keeps refining its approach (and that other developers are taking notes). As it stands, Rise of Nightmares is a noble, novel experiment, though it may not be an entirely successful one.

None of these are the "big gun" reviewers that I'm looking for but I like what I see so far. I'm not one of those guys that goes crazy if a game they like doesn't have an amazing Metacritic average. I just want to know if I'm going to have a good time with it.

Microsoft needs to get behind this game and push it like no other. We need more Kinect games that go this route and this game needs to succeed. If a game is unique, innovative, and well mad for Kinect, we need to support it. I'll be grabbing this on the same day that I grab Starfox 64 3D.

it's like deja vu to 2009 when i was trying to convince myself that mad world was worth the money i paid for it. do yourself a favor, seperate yourself and gaming preferences from wanting a platform to suceed. it will save you and your wallet a lot of grief and regret.

Thanks for the post. I plan on picking this game up... eventually.

*It's about $37 on Amazon if anyone is interested in buying it.

Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

I've played about 30 minutes and all i can say is that it's really fun. The controls work really well and they're very responsive. No noticeable lag and so far I haven't had any problems controlling the guy for the most part. I have run into a wall a couple of times, but definitely not a constant problem. There are tons of different motions like opening doors, swimming, running, kicking, punching, etc. so it doesn't get stale.

I'm definitely not saying the game is perfect though. The story is meh, voice acting wont win any awards, and the Graphics are nothing special. I haven't played it too long, but I can tell that I could easily play this game for several hours without getting really worn out. Definitely in the right direct for playing core games on kinect. If I had to give it a score it would be an 8/10.
