It's important from the aspect that if people spend the $10 for a game that promises something different from the bullshit norm, then we'll see more games of those varieties appear. Rez is not the greatest game ever. It's nowhere even close. And I can say that with a straight face. But what I can say is that it is a game that did something different than everyone else, it did it then, and it's doing it now. Nothing comes close to the audio/visual/tactile fusion that Rez offers, and that deserves a solid chance to bee seen/heard/felt, now more than ever with the addition of refined HD visuals, 5.1 audio and multiple controller vibration support (laugh if you want to, but the feature is actually quite cool).
If you want to keep playing point-click-kill game #3, #4 and Online, then fine by me. Go right ahead. This isn't meant for you. What it is meant for is for people who demand something more from this industry. And those people will be the ones who drive this thing once FPS becomes like fighting games or 2D platformers are now - just an ancient novelty, and nothing more. But games that benefit of a unique vision will prevail - just look at Katamari - something never seen/heard/felt will be remembered far more fondly by those who took the time to actually give it a proper chance. If you don't want to do that, that's your prerogative, but you're the one who's missing out in the end and robbing yourself from an experience that you may have liked to have had in retrospect.
