Not exactly a massive improvement, most the quality issues shown are because the Saturn screenshot is interlaced, certainly not worth me investing in it when I have several copies for Saturn.
NiGHTS into Dreams on PS2

No it's not! The definite version is the original Saturn classic which utilised the Saturn's full 3D capabilities. I don't fancy playing Nights with the Dual Shock 2, it wouldn't feel the same to me at all. Beside this, it's something special playing this game on actual Sega hardware with the proper NiGHTS 3D pad which was designed for this game alone as opposed to an 'update' on a Sony machine, imo of course.Devin wrote: I really hope some of you peeps try this game, can't recommend it enough. It's the definitive version, apparently you can unlock 'Christmas Nights' as well, bonus!

As somebody who has played (and completed) the Wii version, can I just say in response to a comment a few posts back that the reviewer was talking utter garbage, the Wii game is brilliantly good fun.
I'll be honest, I never really got into the Saturn game as much as I should (it was largely due to the fact my TV was rubbish and stuck on high saturated colour, so it usually hurt my eyes playing it for longer than 10 minutes), so I was eager to play this version.
The storyline is quite painful and somewhere between gorgonzola and edam on the cheese scale, and if you're British the voices will make you want to throw the Wiimote at the TV for horrible stereotypes, but if you look past that and onto the levels they're actually rather playable, with a number of different missions including link building missions and ones which use the characters without Nights (those are a bit boring).
Many people who said "It's not as good as the original" probably never played the original. I say it isn't quite, but it isn't a terrible game.
Word of warning, if you are to play it, play it with the classic controller, it's nigh on impossible with the Wiimote (which is a shame, as it is such a nice idea and works well on the training level, second you have to link build seriously though it's frustrating).

I'm a Nights nut and have all the original gear including the Saturn 3D Pad, even have the Japanese version in special Christmas Nights packaging and also the UK Christmas demo. From my point of view I love the enhancements and it's great to have everything on the one DVD. Slap it in my PS2 and away I go!C=Style wrote:No it's not!

I've never been much of a loyalist, the machine is just a vehicle for the games in my opinion. Let the software do the talking! 
After my pleasant experience with Nights, I'm now pondering what other Japanese PS2 games would be worth picking up? Any advice peeps?
