Nina always stood out to me in the Tekken series so when I heard she got her own game I was thrilled!
DBD at first was a bit dissapointing with the lack of customizable controls and character alterations (Nina and Annas looks is far different from there Tekken apperances, Nina looked a tad sickly to me, but still hot). But other than that, I really loved the game.
After a while I got over the lack of variety in the fighting controls and was deeply enticed by the 3D settings, music, and over all super agent spy-like feel of the game. Also the critical attacks were quiet original and offered tons of way to smash your opponents skeletal structure, but even that feature is limited as it is very unrealistic (for example smashing someones skull in and moments later they are back on there feet, or robots having skeletal structures at all), and there were often times where only certain body parts could be utilized in this mode. But during boss battles (were this feature is most likely to be used) you often get more freedom to execute a large number of moves and the beauty of this feature shines.
Considering DBD is be a beat 'em up with such limited control and sometimes frustrating camera angles it does score fairly low in general standards of the genre. But strong Tekken (and Williams sisters fans) will be able to overlook the flaws and take for what Namco created it to be, a game that spotlighted Nina with digressing focus from the actual genre.

I have always loved special edition video games and this game is no exception. This game is a spin off of the character "Nina" from the Tekken series of games. It is a challenge to play, but doable. It is not too hard, which makes it fun. I really love this game, but rate it a 4 because there are others I like a bit more.

I consider myself a fan of tactical espionage. I've played through all of the PS Metal Gears (the games I consider to be the top in the genre) several times. I enjoyed Nina Williams' character in Tekken and the idea of a female lead. Ugh, I should have just avoided it. Not only are the controls poor (everything has to do with the right analog stick) but the camera changes from you being able to control it to not depending on where you are. To run you need to hold R2 but this also switches to an over-the-head view. As you enter a different section, the camera may switch back to fixed or visa versa. How are you supposed to be able to sneak up on people if you can't even control the character well? I already want to throw it away. Horrible, horrible game.

This Tekken inspired spin-off of Nina Williams is smartly crafted with a combination of action hand2hand combat, special ops missions, & several Tenchu like bone breaking critical moves.
Aside from the VERY annoying 180-degree camera shifting you get sometimes when stepping in between camera angles (you're pointing forward and suddenly you're shifting back to the previous angle), the seemingly forever loading time this game can take (it's graphics aren't that sharp), & the less than interesting game plot. Simply put, Namco is on to something but still few enhancements are needed and with minimal improvements this game can be MUCH MUCH more.
That said, overall this game has a unique personality very well worthy to experience.

I own this game and i'm playing it even after 2 years after I bought it! this game is unique and could be good or bad, but if you have a mind open enough you will like the fantastic fight parts, the incredible number of fight moves, weapon, minigames, and all the amazing stuff you will unlock after completing the game once! Belive me the only flow (except some loading screen too many) of this game is that is very very hard too unlock all the bonuses and some challenges are pretty impossible but better too hard than too easy!
