Amazon.com Product Description

Ninety-nine Nights II (N3II) is a high-energy "Hack and Slash" action-adventure game for Xbox 360 featuring epic battles against massive armies in a unique fantasy realm. This highly-anticipated sequel is the latest follow-up to the internationally-acclaimed Xbox 360 title, Ninety-nine Nights (N3), and features improvements over the original game including multiplayer modes via Xbox LIVE, including co-op options, leaderboards, a smoother frame rate and a new added emphasis on puzzle play. Story In a mystical world of miracles and magic, humans coexist alongside many other races including the elves, goblins, and ogres. But when the "Lord of the Night" suddenly appears, in a mere 3 months the fertile fields of the land are reduced to scorched earth and before long, Orphea, the sacred land to the north, is besieged by the Army of the Night. Amidst the roar of battle, one man thunderously bursts through the ranks of a legion like a bolt of lightning – he is "Galen," the ultimate warrior. Alone, he storms forward as he lays waste to the dark forces, letting nothing stop him in his path to Orphea Castle. Galen must battle through the hordes of enemies that await him and this onslaught escalates with imposing monstrous creatures that join the fray. Centering on "the inheritance of life," a new battle between light and dark begins. Draw swords against the Lord of the Night's global siege as Galen and 4 other warriors. View larger. Gameplay Like the original Ninety-nine Nights game, N3II is a "Hack and Slash" action adventure game in which players engage in sword and magic based battles against hordes of enemies spewing from Lord of the Night's armies. Along with the main character, the warrior Galen, players will unlock 4 additional playable characters drawn from the different races of Orphea, as they progress through the game. Each of these have their own histories as well as weapons and special abilities, which must be mastered in order to succeed. Mastery of these skills, beyond their use in battle, is also important in that N3II also contains a certain amount of puzzle-solving aspects, occurring mostly at transitional spots in game levels. In addition, unlike the original N3 game, along with an engrossing single player campaign, Ninety-nine Nights II also contains several online multiplayer options via Xbox LIVE, including co-op play options. Modes include: "Survival," in which players help each other to defeat three waves of enemies in order to get to the light; "Race," where they compete against each other in a race to defeat the most enemies; and "Escort," where players escort a company of Elven soldiers to safety while defending against attacking hordes of enemy soldiers. Players can check their ranking in all modes via Xbox LIVE online leaderboards.

19 of 20 people found the following review helpful Decent standalone game, poor sequel, July 3, 2010 By  Joseph D. Raymond (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews    = Fun:  Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights (Video Game) This game bears little resemblance to the original and plays more like Dynasty Warriors now. Everything that was unique about N3 has been removed. The over-the-top orb spark attacks have been nerfed and are no longer very impressive. All characters play EXACTLY the same, including the same available spells, unlike the first game where everyone had their own moves and abilities. Cut-scenes, levels and boss battles are reused between characters, and you can play down any the characters' paths in whatever order you want, which seems like an okay idea but really undercuts the narrative. Voice acting is pretty bad on like half the characters. All that aside, the game is fine for what it is -- a Dynasty Warriors clone. If you go in expecting it to be like the original Ninety-Nine Nights, you'll be disappointed. If you just want to play something like DW but with different characters then this game is pretty good.

This review is from: N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights (Video Game) N3II is far better than the original. The Overall story revolves around a Entity called The Lord of the Night's conquest of the world, leaving the country of Orphea one of the last standing. While the first game's story was merely connected by chance meetings of few characters, N3II story is about 5 individuals who unite under Orphea's banner to fight back against the Lord of the Night (reminds me of power rangers). While each character has their own narrative which shows their part in the game's events, the flow is disjointed. You learn about the Lord of the Night mainly in Galen's side, while Sephia's does not reveal a thing and only serves expand her character(that's when i learned of her very one-sided crush on Galen). One could play each missions in chronological order with out beating any character final mission. All 5 characters are unlocked by Galen's 4th mission. 3 1/2 stars Graphics The game has nice detailed graphics, it's not AAA gorgeous, but...

Sprague "Broken Hierophant" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews    = Fun:  Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights (Video Game) N3II was a gamble on my part. While I staunchly support the hack n slash genre this one got negative marks across the board at many review sites. Was it "that awful"? The masochist in me bristled with excitement as I placed my order! Disappointingly I must confess this is not a "So bad it's epic!" affair. N3II is simply "rather decent" for the genre and it fails at being the terrible intriguing train-wreck most gaming critics made it out to be. It's not going to blow any minds or stand out as a footnote in history but it's unabashingly enjoyable once you get pass the slight learning curve! The first thing you'll notice is N3II expects you to sprint around while blocking and tumbling. If you don't pay attention to your surroundings archers, shamans, and annoying bird-things will whittle you down quickly. This game takes the philosophy of "death by a thousand paper cuts" and runs with it shamelessly! N3II likewise has the distinction of being much harder...
