Video Game Reviews of Ninety-Nine Nights

Customer Review: Ninety-Nine Nights
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the orignal games for XBox 360, found it hear cheap and new, great deal. Arrived on time and has been fun playing.

Customer Review: Fast shipping, but the game itself isn't good
Summary: 2 Stars

It came fast, and everything was there. However the game itself isn't good. It's hard to beat, and when you die you have to start the level all over again. And you can't save the game in between. I wouldn't recommend it.

Customer Review: Who cares for repitition
Summary: 5 Stars

I really like this game because who doesn't want to slay goblins and mages at will... i mean come on release your inner anger with this.
Maybe if the maps were bigger and you could train or something it would be better so you could learn better combos.

Customer Review: Good, If It Had Been a Demo
Summary: 2 Stars

This game had a lot of promise. Decent graphics (though the mouth movements were a bit wonky), some amazing visuals, and an insanely gratifying fighting style. You fight hundreds of enemies at once, and the game makes you feel like a god as you slaughter hundreds upon hundreds of little minions.

The voice acting wasn't the greatest, but then, it didn't suck either.

The thing is, the game seems unfinished. You go through these half-hour levels, almost dying a few times, then have to fight two huge fights in a row. With NO SAVE POINTS. Redoing the same mission two or three times is fine, but after that, it's just redundant. They REALLY needed save points with this game. After battling through hordes of goblins, a giant frog army, and dying just before I beat the Goblin King, I gave up...after trying about six times. It's just way too aggravating to put up with the huge levels. If you're someone who can deal with that, you still might like it.

The other annoyance is that the game provides you with armies. You get both right and left flanks, and you can choose whether you want heavy infantry, archers, etc. You can put them on attack or defense modes, but it doesn't matter - they do not help you whatsoever. They're pretty much decoys. I ended up having them always on defense, so I could hide in the middle of them. Then I'd spiral around all the enemies, taking off those on the outside and working my way into the center so I wasn't attacked on all sides at once.

The epic battles are a wonderful idea. The storyline, or what I was able to get out of it, was quite weak, but still not horrible. After playing through the game once with one character, you could then go back and replay with about five other characters. You end up repeating a lot of the same stuff, just from the slightly altered viewpoint of the other character.

I just think this game was fun for awhile, but having no save points was a MAJOR FLAW...since I couldn't even stand to keep playing because, like I said, after your hundredth almost-beat-it-but-then-dying-right-at-the-end episode, it's just aggravating.

Good concept, but in dire need of huge improvements. If you have a lot of patience or are amazingly gifted at NOT dying in games, rent it. But don't buy it before you try it first.
