  1. If this is a genre you like or have been tempted to try out, N3 is a fantastic addition.
  2. The graphics in-game and in cut scenes are dazzling with beauty. N3 is quick and easy to learn and is fairly easy to rack up the 1000 gamerscore if you are willing to try out and complete each characters short campaign.
  3. A game with a niche concept and levels of simplicity that border on patronizing at times.
  4. It's good for about twenty minutes before it becomes a dull grind and you realize you're basically playing a tech demo ffor a game yet to be created. [Oct. 2006, p.81]

    This game is one of the most intresting games ever, the name 99 nights come from that King of the Nights rule 99 nights over the land, untill human and goblins destroy him on the 100 night. the game is about the both side, about humans and goblins fight ishoter becasue of the cristals of light and darkness. The King of the Nights did so it begin a war betwin humans and goblins so he cud rule the land ones again... bad things: u run to slow, when u die u have to restart on from the begining on the map, grafic cud be little better and when u are fighting some hits dont do any dmg, Expand

    This game needs work but it is on the right track. First the good, if you like Dynasty Warriors or Kingdom Under Fire this game is for you. (Made by the KUF people.) This game has quite a few items you can collect along the way but most don't have a use except the weapons. Another good is how many guys are o the screen/level. If you beat any level, you will probably kill around 2000 guys. Another good is that your guys follow you unlike Dynasty Warriors. Also, the graphics in this game are okay. Now for the bad. This game is frustrating. If u don't replay easier levels to level up your character, you'll spent lost of time getting mad. For example, your first character's last level is 50 min long with 2 different bosses and your guys all die and there is no checkpoints. So you have to replay levels to boost your level. This game can get old pretty fast. The achievements are pretty hard to get so be ready for a few months to years to totally beat this game. RENT IT FIRST. Expand

    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... Expand
