Dark Fantasy Animation
I was unsure about 9, thinking the idea of such a dark storyline in an animated film wasn't a great idea. However, after watching it on a plane journey I had to buy it. This game features good characterisation. Although short, the story does not feel rushed, it's packed with fun and action.

Animation future
9 is one of the greatest animations ever made and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the same sort of style. At this price it would be a shame to let it pass by.
