N3 : perfect gift for the devil inside

there are games which are piece of art. they will make you lie back, think and make you to choose your next move very carefully.. and then there are games like ninety nine nights(N3)which will make you forget that you live in the 21st century. it will make you mash the buttons of your precious x360 like never before and make you forget your human needs. all these and more but only for the first few hours that you play the game... how do i know? because i played the game.. The game starts off with a nicely rendered C.G. movie that introduces you to the various characters and the huge trail of destructions they can leave behind and also the ultimate bad guy in a pretty shadowy way. then the actual fun starts. the first character you get to play with is imphyy. a templar knight, her favorite weapon is a sword. just as the game starts one is bound to be blown away with the gorgeous graphics and the scale of the environment. the adrenaline pumping sessions start just from the word go and you have to mow down thousands of enemies as they come charging at you. yeah, i forgot to mention that although you get 2 flanks of your own they can serve as nothing but as distractions. so one would do best to send their enemies to kingdom come by oneself. as you keep on killing enemies you collect red orbs. as you fill up the red orb meter you can launch your special power which is very much useful in taking down huge armies. killing with this power in turn fills up your blue orb meter. when full it can be used to take down the whole battlefield in one go, so use it carefully. one irritating aspect of the game comes up during the boss battles. the boss sometimes simply refuses to take your strikes and then takes down huge amount of your health by their own set of combo. and once you die you again have to start from the scrap, no checkpoints. which means you lose all the experience, items and pieces of your sanity. but the worst part of the game is its repeatetiveness. after a few missions the lack of variations make the killing of thousands of enemies sound more like a chore rather than fun. also the leveling up, adding new weapons, and gaining new powers does not make any astronomical difference in your gameplay. all in all N3 is not a bad game. the huge production value covers up for most of the flaws of this game. but some basic flaws stops it from becoming a great one. go for this game at your own risk. it is not a happy journey all the way.
