    This game is just plain bad! I hated it so much I had to finish it as some sort of penance for buying it in the first place.
    If i wanted to push just one button all the time, I would have stayed with my ex-wife!.

    Honestly....if a lot of enemies on 1 screen is what you want, play Dead Rising....atleast I can tell that's a next gen game...N3 is a failure...The gameplay is just wrong...Voice acting is horrible...Character designs are generic Korean MMORPG style... No surprise at at all...I'm returning this game.

    Repetetive, repetetive and repetetive. I was willijg to give it a go but it was too bad a game to even bother after the first few levels. Unless you like mashing buttons and hacking and slashing constantly then give it a miss.

    This game is absolutely miserable. and im not just talking about the HORRENDOUS voice acting and dialogue, and mediocre story. no, its extremely repetitive, and gets boring after the first half hour. it took everything dynasty warriors had, and made it all go wrong. if you can get past some of the most stressful game playing ive ever gone through, maybe youll find a good game. but i This game is absolutely miserable. and im not just talking about the HORRENDOUS voice acting and dialogue, and mediocre story. no, its extremely repetitive, and gets boring after the first half hour. it took everything dynasty warriors had, and made it all go wrong. if you can get past some of the most stressful game playing ive ever gone through, maybe youll find a good game. but i didnt. i just found more of the same thing to kill.… Expand

    Don't deceived by the beautiful cut-scenes; they serve as a shell to a repetitive and poorly designed game. The animations are poor and the environment is as plain and boring as it could be. The story-line is that of a B-rated movie and the voice-acting is of similar quality.

    How could they claim this is a next-gen game....? Chracter animations and physics just seems wrong...Although a lot of characters on 1 screen the game is just not fun to play. You dont really get the feeling you are really slicing so many opponents. Dynasty Warriors series does that much better...

    Bats-les tous et attention au pouce qui surchauffe au bout de 2000 ennemis découpés en rondelle. Beaucoup de flou dans ce jeu fort vilain qui finalement se veut le concurrent direct de la dynastie des guerriers, la dynastie particulièrement infâme et pathétique dans le genre "BLT" de Koei et à ce titre c'est totalement réussi : c'est aussi nul à chier que son modèle !

He said this game is terrible, but if you like Dynasty Warriors than Dynasty Warriors is a lot better. The voice acting is atrocious which I liked in Dynasty Warriors 3, however it's not so bad it's good in this, it's just ear piercing. Than I played the first level in the music was so repetitive. The game is a complete headache when you first start playing it, but you'll eventually get used to it. Afterwards it just felt like a worse version of Dynasty Warriors. You move very slowly, things including yourself can't take damage when they are in the middle of an attack animation, The game had very easy achievements and so I decided to suffer through it and it gets better I actually genuinely enjoyed playing as Myifee and Dwingvatt, but than I played as Tyurru and she gave me the highest combos, however she felt awful to play as. Once you beat all the campaigns you unlock a "secret" camaign as Vigk Vagk, which is a giant troll and I was laughing and enjoying myself so much with him. The game is. If were to rate every bodies campaigns than.

    Inphyy: 1/10
    Aspharr: 2/10
    Myifee: 5/10
    Dwingvatt: 6/10
    Klarran: 4/10
    Tyurru: 0/10
    Vigk Vagk: 8/10

    I leave a score of 3/10 because although it averages out closer to a 4/10 the campaigns are not of equal length and so Inphyy and Aspharr's campaigns are more than 3 times longer than Vigk Vagk. It's totally worth suffering through the rest of the game to play as Vigk Vagk though so I'd say get if you find it for cheap.    … Expand

    *A button mashers wet dream* If you like Xbox graphics, no story, confusing tactics, and want to play your games with one hand and one button, well its your lucky day. Or if your a PS2/3 fanboy and your looking for a reason to bash a 360 game, here it is. Easily one of the worst 360 titles the new Neg-Gen system has to offer.

    This is one of the worst games that I have ever played. Horrible voice acting? Check. Glitches? Check. Completely unfair boss fights with an even worse save system? Check. They can't even take the time to make the horrible voice acting match up with the mouths moving! I am so glad that I payed $5 for this putrid piece of trash but now I am starting to think THAT was wasting money. IThis is one of the worst games that I have ever played. Horrible voice acting?

    Absolutely one of the worst games I've ever played. Mainly because of how horribly unbalanced it is. It's a struggle to get through some of the EARLIEST levels, let alone the later ones where enemies will stomp you into the group by grouping up on you. It's highly repetitive and the only saving grace of this game was the variety of characters, which I don't even remember at this point, soAbsolutely one of the worst games I've ever played.

    Ninety-Nine Nights deserves a better score... That's a strange ways to put it, but it comes from the fact that its most grating flaws occur at such a fundamental level that it's a mystery they were ever tolerated at all. [JPN Import; June 2006, p.89]

    Half epic, half irritating slash-'em-up that's as grand as it is sloppy. [July 2006, p.69]

    Most of the time Ninety-Nine Nights does look like a game which befits the ‘next-gen’ tag, and yet periodically it embarrasses itself with ‘previous-gen’ foibles. Playing N3 is a frustrating experience. [July 2006, p.124]
