    This is what videogames should be about. Pure Fun. Nothing more, nothing else. No simulated reality, Just plain fun. And finally a great game for the 360 for all of us who hate FPS and don't lose any sleep over Madden of Ghost Recon Games. The further you advance, the more powerful you become, cooles powers you obtain, It rocks. Rent it firts thou.

    This is an awesome game especially if your into the Dynasty Warriors games. Fantastic graphics and great gameplay. The only thing lacking is that each character you use has basically the same story line!!

    I usually don't like games of this sort... but, N3 changed my mind. This game has kept me hooked from the time I started playing it, until I beat it. I did get a little frustrated during some parts of the game, but I never felt that I was being cheated. I always had the kind of weapon I needed. But usually I would do something stupid and get killed. So then I would try some different I usually don't like games of this sort... but, N3 changed my mind.

Because it doesn't let players become spoiled and get a "god" like complex, however it makes a player feel powerful in the game, but reminds them that they are not immortal. And that they wont just be able to blaze through everyone effortlessly.… Expand

    Not the best game, but if you've never played a hack and slash game before (most of the population hasnt) then you'll love this. Just don't micromanage and you'll do really good.

    Really enjoyed this. The large battles look and play out very interesting, there's lots of little secrets in the levels, the soundtrack is beautiful and the character design interesting, cool item/equipment system, you can level & improve your character and also you've got a lot of different combos. Which you definitely should learn to use, because that's what the game is all about.Really enjoyed this.

Which you definitely should learn to use, because that's what the game is all about. Learning and mastering the combos and timed dodges. Otherwise you'll just smash the same button over and over again, become bored quickly and probably get stuck at later levels and bosses. That's why a lot of people call it repetetive or a button-masher.

    In the end it depends on your preferences if you'll love or hate this game. Also it's dated as of 2016.    … Expand

    N3 has good gameplay and graphics and has great potential to be amazing, but lacks a story and backstory, bad voice acting, and a horrible Ai.

    I think this is a far better adventure than the likes of Dynasty Warriors, even though it is an imitation in terms of gameplay. The main thing is it is not just stuck in one audio language with only English subtitles to distract you from the gameplay (God...I hate it when producers and developers miss such a valid point!)

The main thing is it is not just stuck in one audio language with only English subtitles to distract you from the gameplay (God...I hate it when producers and developers miss such a valid point!) The storyline in N3 is also quite good in terms of good versus evil, and how the enemy hordes have over run the land,and also how each hero plays his or her part in the whole saga. A 360 exclusive release, it was rare in 2006 to find a game which catered to gamers who were after something similar to 'too many enemies on screen' type of gaming; it showed the capabilities of the 360 at the time. The fact you can unlock more charters as the gameplay progresses is good, and each has their own storyline and fighting mechanics. The graphics are quite good for a 2006 game, but could have been slightly better. The music is quite battle-like, although I prefer a more percussion and/or guitar riff-based kind of scenario mostly. The only let downs for this game are that the characters moving from point to point can be somewhat slow (there is a dash ability but hey ho), the repetitive button mashing in most cases, the slow frame rate when the action gets heavy (although this is minimized to some degree if you install the game completely on your hard drive), and the slightly corny cut scenes (Inphy just sounds like a little girly who's sweeties have been nicked in the playground, for example). This is best played in small doses, because there is fun to be had, but doing the same combos (more will get unlocked per character as you progress) will sometimes make your hands hurt and will make you nod off. And there is Inphy's ranting and raving, dont forget.… Expand

    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]
