I haven't bought it yet :). I've been wondering why they haven't released a demo of this for so long. I was always put off by the fairly simplistic gameplay on the other DOA games. Though, I've been interested in trying the new system for awhile.

[PabUK Veteran]

Seems OK. Looks like it could get boring fast though. Plus my thumb is sore from mashing the X button so much.

[Pc_Madness]

Ninety-Nine Nights demo live

Sample of soon-to-be-released collaboration between Q Entertainment and Phantagram arrives on Xbox Live Marketplace.

While not every Xbox 360 game receives a playable demo on the system's Marketplace service in a timely fashion, there are exceptions. In the final days of June, a demo for 3D Realms' first-person shooter Prey went up for download more than a week in advance of the final game hitting store shelves. Now 360 gamers are getting to go hands-on with another yet-to-be released game, as a 587.43MB demo for Ninety-Nine Nights is now available for download.

An action adventure game in a fantasy setting, Ninety-Nine Nights puts players in command of seven different characters as they hack their way through opposing armies. Developed as a collaborative project between Tetusya Mizuguchi's Q Entertainment and Korean studio Phantagram, it represents a bit of a break from tradition for both companies. While Q is known primarily for puzzle games like Lumines and Meteos, Phantagram earned accolades for its work on the real-time-strategy/action hybrid Kingdom Under Fire series.

Ninety-Nine Nights is rated M for Mature and will retail for $49.99 when it's released in mid-August. For more information on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

The game is not that great.

[stezo2k]

well i must say i was very dissapointed with the N3 demo :( the trailers look fantastic but the gameplay is mediocre

[dnast]

Yeah, after seeing videos when the game was released in Japan, N3 was removed off my most wanted list. That being said, I'm downloading the demo right now. I just want to try it out for myself.

The demo for Street Fighter is being released on the 27th (august) yes?

The game comes out next Wednesday.

Threads Merged

No need for new threads for every demo released. Keep it in this official demos thread. It is why it exists.

[Iguana]

Uhhh.... yeah.... N3 was not fun.

It's fun to get 1000+ combos, but basically the game is just a button masher. Doing special moves (which aren't really effective IMO, though we only get to play as one character) makes you invulnerable to damage, which is so cheap since special moves are fueled by orbs, which drop around you all the f*cking time. Literally, you can perform special moves every 30 seconds. Also, performing special moves fills up another meter (this time with blue orbs), which, when completely full, performs some sort of super move (also mostly ineffective). Voice acting is also awful.

There are no checkpoints. That's right. If you die anywhere, you have to start the entire mission all over again.

There are a couple of good points however, for one, there are hundreds and hundreds of enemies and allies on the screen at any given point, but the game does not drop a single frame. Also, for a button masher, the game feels very fluid. Blocking is nice as well, though not as effective as say... Ninja Gaiden, but it's a nice addition.

I'm going to DL N3 anyways, just see how it is.
