   Hey guys,

   I thought I'd go ahead and make a thread of all the reviews thus far, for all the fans that are interested as well as for the new and upcoming fans to check out :)

   Feel free to post here if you find any ones that haven't been mentioned or if you'd like to comment on any of the reviews in general. Just remember to play nice ;)

   Also, feel free to discuss 999 in general or ask questions too!

   There is another prolific official 999 thread over at NeoGAF as well, if you'd like to reference it:

   http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=412827

   But back to reviews... Check them all out below!

   So without further adieu... Reviews!:

   Metacritic:
   http://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/nine-hours-nine-persons-nine-doors

   Ironically enough if you look on Metacritic, if you look at DS releases and sort by "All releases" and by metascore, 999 is the 9th ranked game from the top ;)

   I just wanted to say that like I said on my happy thanksgiving thread I bought this game on your advice.

   Thanks so much!!
   When I first heard about I had almost no interest in it but this is definately one of my favorite DS games!

   So thanks and I recommend for anyone who is on the fence about this game to get it!!
   You will not regret it!!!!

   I'm giddy at the prospect of reading this. It's why I originally signed up here, actually. As I live in Europe, I had a difficult few minutes looking around for a place which would deliver outside of America (eventually found it over at axelmusic), but I'm looking forward to reading it.

   Just thought I'd let you guys know that there are people outside of America who can't wait to read this. :]

   You said it, Nobs!
   I beat the game in two sittings, in less than 8 1/2 hours. Not to often I get that engaged in a game, so bravo to Aksys and Chunsoft. If the DS were to fade out to the 3DS next year, then this was it's swansong.
   And props to the genius behind the "wet" conversation near the elevator. Wow, that a classy mother moment, lol!

   As for the game, I do have one question that flew over my head - and this is probably not a spoiler, so don't worry :P
   Santa commented on the stairs and how they should bring Clover over (she wasn't part of the "team" at the time) because how they were... perfectly aligned or parallel or something along those lines. Was that a Japanese pun that oddly fitted that part? Even Junpei commented on the stairs that he didn't quite understand why Santa suggested to bring her over.

   I remember the scene you're talking about (for the most part) and I think it's just because Santa knows who she is. He remembers Snake from before and the fact that he had a sister. So basically Santa and Clover are "in the same boat" since they both had siblings and had been part of the first game. Plus she was currently missing her brother, just like he had been separated from his sister. Junpei didn't understand because he didn't know.

   Can I not elicit even a sarcastic quip?

    There are quite a few reviews of this game on Youtube. At least 3-4, from what I've seen. I'm really happy this game is getting the attention it's getting, because it's definitely worth it. You guys at Aksys really did a good job with this game and deserve every penny you all get!

    This was an excellent game and is the first and only DS game I've felt was worth buying. In fact, I bought a DS Lite just to play this game. I hope aksys brings over more games like this. I got all the endings over a 3 day period.

    Reviews are pretty awesome. Right now I just finished the first ending and I'm hooked as ever to this game! Can't wait to finish it.

    Finished the game earlier and I loved it, also Aksel I think your looking to deeply into that scene, it was meant to imply that Santa wanted to see up Clovers skirt and nothing else.

    Hmm? I think you might be referring to another poster XD

    I know what Santa wanted ;)

    Maybe, I only skimmed some of the posts. I do love though, that if you sit down and think about it, theirs actually a pretty big hint towards something revealed in the True End in that scene.
