Advantages / disadvantages
Controller is more precise but you can't jump across the screen in the same way that the Kinect can. The Kinect flips out occasionally but it's way easier to target stuff with it since you can pretty much just move your hand and the cursor goes straight to where you're pointing. Obviously only the controllers vibrate.

So unsure of whether I want to play this with a controller, or drop $150 and buy a Kinect for it. Are there any good Kinect deals going on this week?
(Alright. Posting from my 3ds in the living room.
Had the chance to go thru 2 areas using kinect. Haven't had any issues yet in terms of the kinect spazzing out. It's pretty poor lighting in my living room too.
My only complaint about using the kinect is doing the swipe motion to fire after locking on. Although it seems you can unleash the lockon any time via using your left-hand to activate the tracer cursor. So that's one way around it.
In terms of the music, the first area is your typical electronica with traces of genki rockets. But it seems the further you go, the more clearer and in tune the lumi songs become.
And in that regard, this game really is for mizuguchi fans and more so genki rocket fans. Child of Eden is quite literally the chronicle of the Genki Rockets lead, Lumi.

I would be more interested in how the fun compares.
As far as I am aware that is the only thing Kinect needs light for. It uses IR for the other parts. I have played Kinect in the dark without problems, but I don't have CoE yet.Wario64 said:
I thought it was a push motion to fire. At least it seemed that way on Giantbomb's quicklook.kiryogi said:

I would imagine Gamestop would have lots of copies, just be prepared to be harassed with "Did you preorder?" first.

Yeah this embargo shit is getting ridiculous. I'm getting the game either way but still.FuzzyNorman said:
Here's a review that isn't as positive. http://arts.nationalpost.com/2011/06/14/review-child-of-eden-not-the-kinects-saviour-despite-teeming-with-creativity/
EDIT: He's actually not that negative, but his complaints are mostly about arm strain and the shortness of the levels.

All I care/hope for is that is essentially REZ 2.0. I'd go buy it today but storms knocked a power line out in my neighborhood so I'm without power till at the very leat the repair guy gets here to fix my generator. I so want this game to be good though cause I love REZ and still play it to this day. HD version though on my 360.
Here's my impression (I reviewed it two or three weeks ago and we were embargo'd for June 8th): it's beautiful, get it.
Only real negatives: occasionally finnicky Kinect detection, it's very, very short, and if you don't wave your hands around like a madman a lot you will get tired quickly.
Everything else is sensory perfection, especially with a good sound system.

What's the big deal about reviews? Shouldn't you know by now whether this game would appeal to you?

If you have a Best Buy near you, just do the store pick up. I think other stores do that too. I bought mine a couple hours ago so I can pick it up after work today.
