The NiGHTS franchise has been generally ignored since the original iteration was released on the Sega Saturn back in 1996. While the original title received plenty of critical acclaim, it never sold very well and suffered from being overshadowed by the release of more prominent titles like Mario 64. It's too bad that it was, too, because NiGHTS on the Sega Saturn broke ground for sudo-3D platformers back when game systems didn't do 3D so well. Now, NiGHTS has returned for a run on the Wii, and it doesn't fair as well as it once did. While it's certainly a pretty and unique game, the somewhat repetitive gameplay doesn't demand much in the way of complex thought. While most adults will probably find little to hold them, you could do a lot worse than NiGHTS if you have someone in your life that enjoys the seamless imitation of flying, strong music and art design, and gameplay with very limited depth. Which means it might be a great game for the kids.
