But wasn't it implied that Seven and/or Snake may have been involved in the plot? Also, it could be that the REDs were never installed in the first place. |

I've picked up the game this afternoon and have been playing non-stop. I just got to the point where Junpei goes down the elevator to Level E. I'll admit, the intro was a little sluggish and unbelievable, pretty much everything up to, Spoiler: 999 |

Just came in here to say that this is one of the better games you can get for your nintendo DS library. It's an exciting and fast paced visual novel, something of a rarity. The puzzles were funny too and made an excellent addition. |

If/when theres a sequel, I'd like to see Snake return, and possibly Lotus and Clover. Spoiler: |

I just finished getting all the endings a few days ago, and I can't stop talking about this game with anyone who would listen. XD It's got such a good story, I couldn't stop until I got all the pieces in each telling. It also makes me want to look into Ever17, if the story is promised to be just as good. Also, for the people who were asking who killed Cap during the Safe Ending: Spoiler: And grim_tales, I agree. Spoiler: |

Definitely like to see Snake again because he's a nice, intelligent guy. And he looks like an older Edgeworth. Who could not love him? Also Seven, as he was a true hero :D Clover had more depth as the game went on I thought. I liked Junpei but is his story done with now? Spoiler: I'd love to try Ever 17 too but cant find it on Ebay right now and its way too expensive (Amazon.com won't ship internationally anyway and the cheapest copy is $125!) |

I agree with Aevitas, I love talking about this game too :D I hope if that if more VN's are localised (maybe for 3DS too?) they will come to Europe too, otherwise its a reason to import a US model. Bummer about the hardware being region locked :( |

Essentially a "Choose Your Own Adventure" novel in video game form. 999 is a visual novel, and so is Ever17. Visual novels are very popular in Japan, but only a few are ever localized for North America. Ace Attorney and Hotel Dusk are not visual novels though, since problem-solving is a gameplay element. In that way, they are closer to adventure games. |

Finally beat the game, got every ending. Let me say that getting the Axe ending first I think motivated me to keep playing. I got the endings in this order, Axe, Sub, Knife, Coffin, Safe, True. I think the Safe and Sub endings were the most emotionally wrenching. Frankly, my favorite part about this game was the story and the writing. I loved how Vonnegut-esque the story was in both tone and plot points. And I think my heart soared when in the Safe ending Zero says, "With light there is shadow. With shadow there is light. So it goes." It just really brings the game to a whole new level. I don't think any game I've ever played has such strong emotions, a theme, and likeable characters doing real things in situations that would dictate they would do those things. All in all a wonderful game. Though it's set up for a sequel, I don't know if I'd want it just yet, (though I say that knowing that if one gets released I'd leap and play it immediately). This is a wonderful game that should be in everyone's collections. |

I just love how this game toyed around with me. Normally I pick up on the huge pot twists a little before they are revealed, but I just couldn't solve all the mysteries before the game gave me the answers. Spoiler: Did anyone else think like this? |

Hey, I wrote a review/some thoughts on 999 here: http://www.amazon.com/9-Hours-Persons-D ... Descending Mine is the first at the top. I hope Aksys decide on a sequel or more games of this type soon. |

So, I started playing this yesterday. I played it until about 4 am when I HAD to go to sleep because I was getting up early, but I was so addicted to it that I had to spoil it for myself and had a quick read of the endings before I fell asleep! I don't really understand them too well, so I didn't spoil that much for myself. Anyway, I really like this story, it's highly addictive. I love the music, it fits the moods perfectly. I like that I know I'm going to play it again afterwards, until I've had all endings. However, I don't really like the escape scenes, where you have to examine things and work it out. I prefer the story scenes, so I can just sit back and watch. Is there an option to skip text, after your first playthrough? I think it's going to be extremely tedious if I can't... Also, I see I wasn't the only one who thought Snake was very much like Edgeworth. |

You don't like the escape scenes? So you don't like.... the gameplay element of the game? :P Nothing wrong with that, I guess. I quite like the 'randomly-examine-everything' dialogue in 999: occasionally it's absolutely hilarious, though generally not up to Kyle Hyde snarky standards. :D Yes, there is a skip text option. There is still an awful lot of retreading, though. I've memorized the answers to most of the puzzles simply through the number of times I had to play them, heh. |

I didn't realise how close I was to the end when I asked, so I started replaying and realised soon enough. Redoing the puzzles is a bit annoying, but meh doesn't matter. Yeah I guess I don't like the gameplay element! I just like sitting back and reading what's going on. I'm the same with Layton, I skip as many puzzles as I can and just go along for the story. I'm not a puzzle person haha. Spoiler: |

You mean the real ending? If so, then let's just say that I loved the game so much up until that point and then it just went from an awesome game to a game that totally took over my thoughts for days and made me thirst for more games that was similar to it. (Unfortunatly, there aren't really any games like it out there). The real ending does answer most of the questions, but given that the game features so many theories and so much character development (you should have noticed this by now :P), there will be a few things that you will be wondering about when the game ends. Fortunatly, the creator of the game made a Q&A section that answers most of these questions. Are you still going for the knife ending or have you moved on? |

999 was an amazing game! I simply can't believe someone made a game this awesome. The only regret I have is not preordering it, and therefore not being in possession of a replica watch. Apparently, the watch part is solid metal and functions as a real watch! |
