Child of Eden is the amazing new award-winning rhythm action game created by Tetsuya Mizuguchi and published by Ubisoft. Child of Eden is a sequel to Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Rez and has been developed for Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3 and is compatible with both Xbox Kinect & PlayStation Move. The game receives a highly-anticipated Xbox 360 UK release on 17th June 2011 (PS3 gamers will have to wait until September). The music is by Genki Rockets.

Child of Eden integrates sound, vision and touch in one seamless experience. The objective of the game is for the game player to save Project Lumi from a virus attack. If you manage to save the project it will reproduce a human personality in Eden, the artificial intelligence where Rez took place. Child of Eden will be a familiar concept to anyone who has had the pleasure of playing Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Rez, as it too revolves around shooting various objects that come onto the screen, which produce musical effects upon their destruction.

The game has already picked up awards and accolades including ‘Best Motion Sensor Game‘ and ‘Best Rhythm Game’ of E3 2010 from Gamespot and received 86 out of 100 in Xbox World 360 magazine. This game is going to take gaming to a whole new level.

Watch the official Child of Eden trailer shows how cool this game really is.

The following video is from the Child of Eden Experience in Soho, London where gamers including some famous faces can experience the gameplay with Xbox Kinect.

The new game genre known as “rhythm action” are music-themed action video games where the focus is on movement, dance or the simulation of playing musical instruments. For more information visit the official Child of Eden website.
