Child Of Eden Has A ‘Beauty’ Unlike Rez And A Vibrating Belt

The moment that Child of Eden, the follow-up to Sega’s trippy musical shooter Rez, starts to look evolutionarily different from its predecessor is during the level known as “Beauty”. It’s a trip through a softly coloured alien world, full of bizarre abstract creatures.
