Will The Wii Lose Its Steam In 2008?

Mizguchi’s prior exploits include many cult classics, including the iconic Rez (also bound for XBLA), with which E4 shares a few traits. Both games have a heavy basis in music, or might more correctly be described as expertly using music to substantiate and enhance the player’s experience. E4’s primary game mode actually integrates a rhythm element, though at a much simpler level than games like Boom Boom Rocket or dancing games. Read the rest of this entry »
