Xbox 360

I know I'm a few days late, but I wanted to show more of Ninety Nine Nights than the usual Inphyy/Asphaar combination. I took the time to finish Inphyy's campain (the last mission was incredibly annoying) and unlocked Myifee so I could show you his first mission. I also wanted to mention how average the CG video at the beginning of each character's campaign are. The realtime ones are almost better...
Even if I sound negative, I'm still enjoying the game. It's just far from perfect, especially for a big budget title.

I'll try to find the time to unlock Dwingvatt and do a video of his side of the campaign, then I'll stop with this game.

Dammit, the game would be so much better if it was:

I mean, it would be awesome if we could be like 10 people running around killing eachother non-stop. Having no multiplayer mode is stupid. I'm sure such a mode would bump up the Famitsu score a bit, and it's not like they are in a RUSH having it released in Japan anyway.

It's not hard having 10 people running around on a single map it's the fact you have to have some kind of balance in the fighting using the characters which is not done when developing a game in this genre although having a CO-OP mode would work really well in this game.

Man I hope Microsoft pays Phantagram to tweak this baby up for a US launch.

lol Blim @ comment. Anyway as you can see this is my first post tho i have been watching this site for a long time and i would just like to say well done Blim for all your work and great coverage of the xbox360. Now back to this game i had high hopes for it but i cant see it as anything else than a shallow game just trying to lure japan to purchase a 360 this wont work without quality rpgs tbh but theres a few on the way. (Ps Blim any news on DarkSector? has it gone ps3 exclusive?)

I know you said that you would stop after you play as the next guy, but I think it would be interesting just to see a short game play clip of that girl that uses water to fight.

Blim, I don't think you sound negative at all. In fact, I always listen for your opinion on a title. If the game doesn't live up to the hype, your honesty is well deserved. Man, japanese developers really are behind. How did they blow this one? The game didn't push the 360 by any means whatsoever. I read an interview that claimed that you could defeat the game just by continuously pressing the x button. I haven't read one comment that the game has a wow factor. I still have my fingers crossed for Blue Dragon and Lost Oddessy. N3 was actually one of those launch window titles that doesn't make full use or in this case 25% of the hardware capabilities. My expectations weren't too high, but it seems that the game won't live up to my lowest expectations either. Sigh........ I think we can put this one to sleep before it has an untimely death standing against some of the other more impressive titles to be released.

So what' I'm seeing is you do regular attacks and get the red essence type stuff (seems like ninja gaiden in that sense) and you get an ultimate attack for a limited time, at which you get blue essence which fills up the second bar.
