Product Reviews999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (Nintendo DS, 2010)

Love the game and ZERO series!

The game is great on the ds with the touch screen and top screen allowing for dialog and internal thoughts to be separate and not crowding the screen and one part that I love was the soundtrack and sound effects as the combination legitimately scared me with how they worked together to convey emotion and tension of the the moment. The story is amazing with all the ways you can go about the game to get changing dialog from characters based on who is with you and the things it introduces to the player being strange, interesting while at the same time absurd to think about coming into play later on in the story and not just forgotten.
The character art is good as they have a great design thay can move and react to the situation in the game with some areas where it doesn't match the tone and with no voice acting can get repetitive but the sound design really help mitigate this.
WARNING MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE GAME! READ WITH CARE!

The story is broken up into multiple endings with the fact you can skip seen before dialog makes going back thru to get all ending, some being more gruesome than other so be warned it will show up and hope even knowing this wish to play this awesome game and get into the series.Read full review...

my review.

In short, plenty of puzzles, compelling narrative, and enough twists and mystery to keep you hooked the whole way through. There are 6 different endings, and you can fast forward your way through parts you have done before on any of your 2nd + playthroughs. It's interesting though because your character doesn't know any better but you as the player do. You make more informed choices, or just adding variation, to see the other endings. IF Saw was a game this would be it! Brilliant in every way!Read full review...

Anyone who loves reading and puzzles, BUY THIS GAME!

I actually had re-bought this game, my old version broke during the very first puzzle, but I'm SO glad I finally got it again!!! This is certainly my new favorite video game of all time! The storyline (though there are about 7 different ones, depending on the paths you choose) is amazing, no matter which ending you're heading toward, and that means the replay value is just as great. The unfortunate part is that you end up liking all the characters in their own way, which is generally a bad idea, but that means that the story is written so well as to bring you closer to the characters, almost like you're stuck in that situation WITH them, and not just playing.
The only odd thing I found about the game is the number of type-o's. It's almost like they didn't care while they were writing it? I mean it's not THAT bad, but I've gotten two endings so far, so two different storylines, and I've found 3 errors in words already. Like I said, not that bad, but I've never played a game with errors like this before, and I'm a pretty avid gamer, so it did strike me as odd. But even so, YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME. I guarantee you it will be worth your time.Read full review...

Amazing Game, with compelling story

This game was perfect for me. I got almost exactly what I was expecting. I got a gripping story, excellent characters, and challenging puzzles. The story never got boring, even the low points of the story were interesting. I would recommend this to people who enjoy the visual novel genre of video games, as this game is probably 70% text and 30% puzzles. It's also a choose your own adventure game, where your choices affect what ending you receive.Read full review...

One of the greatest stories I've ever experienced.

Out of all of the books, movies, games, ect. that I've experienced stories through, this is definitely one of the greatest. The storyline uses the video game and Nintendo DS mediums brilliantly to tell a story in a way that would be impossible on any other format. The gameplay itself was challenging enough to be interesting, while still being easy enough as to not be a burden. The characters were constructed masterfully, and the plot included twist after twist after twist. The way the story was told also gives you a chance to figure out twists before they occur, giving you a great sense of accomplishment. A must buy for anybody who values a great story.Read full review...

Great puzzle thriller

Very engaging story. Be warned there is a lot of text involved in the game. However the puzzle elements are great and the story is amazing.

999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors

The idea of the promo for the game is great! After playing the game, you really want the watch! It's just a shame that I wasn't able to pre-order the game. But I am just glad that I will have my watch now. (: The aesthetics of the watch are something else. It looks just like the ones in the game. I know that a lot of people are going to be asking me about the watch and I can't wait to tell them about it. Who knows they may even want one, or want to play the game themselves.

The game itself is great, you really get immersed in the storyline. I was up for almost two days straight playing it. When I went to work, all I could think about were the things that were going to happen next in the game. It's really worth a playthrough! There are six endings and I found that I really felt better having gotten all the endings.Read full review...
