Loved the blood and brutality of the game. Boss battles also gave it a GoW feel with button sequences and great cinematics. The problem is the complete lack of variety with the enemies. There's 6 types of enemies (footsoldier, flyer, giant, floating cursing demon, horseman, and a floating bomb). They try to vary it up by changing it to a slightly different color scheme (adding a tinge of red) or sticking a different weapon into the footsoldier. However, after over 30 levels of killing a thousand or two of these guys per level, you realize how dreadfully repetitive it is. Also, you have next to no allies. Anyone you do have is completely worthless. This is where it pretty much falls flat next to DW. At least your various objectives and progress increase the overall performance of your side in DW. Here it's just you and if you happen to group up with a small cluster of allies, they still get worked over by whatever you're fighting. Your actions have no overall affect on the battlefield. Not even the optional objectives! Overall it's a huge improvement over the campy and confusing original but the developers still have a long way to go before it can compete with Koei and Dynasty Warriors. I did like the lvling up and magical powers and customization of your equipment but still, not good enough to keep.Read full review
If you're unfamiliar with the N3 games, allow me to break it down for you as quickly as I can. 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. 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. 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. by.(IGN)
I'm a fan of this series, it's a big hack and slash game. But the AI is also good, so be ready for a challenge. The controls in this seQuel are basic compared to the first one, but they added on more costumes and options. The only thing is that this version has online co-op which should be rather fun. I sort of miss the commanding guards option, but this game really does deliver. Cinematics and graphics are wonderful, I'm sure you wont regret this purchase.
Absolutely loved this game! Excellent graphics & storyline. Controls are great & bosses are hard to beat & require strategy to win. I purchased this hoping it was as good as the original & it delivers!
boys love it
