Ninety-Nine Nights not worth six night rental?

The Japanese import version of Ninety-Nine Nights gets a narcoleptic early review from Gamebrink. Could it be this long-awaited title is "broken" and "barely worth a rental"?:

Pros

• Graphics are nice
• Music is good
• Crowd Control is mindless but fun if that’s your kind of thing

Cons

• Boss fights are dreadful
• Engine is broken when it comes to one on one fights
• There is no gameplay balance
• No checkpoints
• No Story
• No lip-synch in cutscenes and the animation is jerky for some reason
• Fairly short game with limited amount of stages

Tons of enemies and frustrating  boss fights? Sounds like Dynasty Warriors meets Kameo. It sickens me to hear the word broken when describing any 360 game, especially one that has chance to win some Japanese fans.
