Review: Ninety-Nine Nights 2 – Examiner

There is a bit of cliché when it comes to gaming, and that cliché is that a sequel hardly outperforms the original, though Uncharted 2 is a testament of that not always being the case. Back in 2006 when Ninety-Nine Nights launched on the Xbox 360, it was received as a Dynasty Warriors clone, but offered a fun time that certainly filled in the game drought the Xbox 360 was suffering from. N3 had noticeable flaws like repetitive gameplay and lackluster characters, but like all hack 'n slash titles, you play it for the shear reason of carving up hundreds upon hundreds of enemies with bright, over-the-top moves. Konami is sending you back to the battlefield to kill thousands of enemies with the release of Ninety-Nine Nights 2, but will the game outperform the first?
