![]() Kind of makes 3,000 hit combos and an absurdly high kill count meaningless when they're so easy to achieve, you know? Not that N3II is a quick and easy affair to complete, though, as I found myself having to try and try again to get through several portions of the campaign. ![]() The result is a tiring series of levels where I'd find myself hacking through thousands of enemies who often posed little threat to me, sometimes even looking away for prolonged periods of time. The core action revolves around a few special powers and, more often, just mashing a combination of the X and Y buttons to attack hordes of idiotic and repetitious enemies. I used to really enjoy mindless hack and slash fighters like N3II, as it's really easy to lose yourself to the repetitious pressing of the attack buttons, but, unlike the basic design of N3, I've matured. If you can get past (or just skip) the story parts of the game, you might have fun with the game's combat for a short time. The story is terrible and predictable, with some of the worst lip syncing and voice acting I've heard in a game in quite some time, and full of characters who aren't even likable due to how silly and moronic they come across. Granted, plenty of movies and games have proven that timeless plot points like this can be told and retold and still be compelling, but it feels like the writers of N3II didn't even try. It's a hack 'n slash game a la the Dynasty Warriors franchise, wherein you take a number of fantasy characters (or, at least, the Korean interpretation of fantasy races) through a cliched story to stop an evil man and his army of darkness. If you're unfamiliar with the N3 games, allow me to break it down for you as quickly as I can. N3II is poorly made, hackneyed, and so utterly boring in its core gameplay that it's hard to recommend to anyone - even if you hate them. ![]() If this proverbial wisdom holds true, then I should enjoy the hell out of whatever game I play after Ninety-Nine Nights 2 (N3II). ![]() It's sometimes said that to fully appreciate the good you occasionally have to endure the bad. ![]()
