    "Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep takes advantage of one cold hard fact of life: Mickey Mouse is a badass. "


     
    Here is the review. It should be spoiler-free & keep in mind it is from a RPG centric site so they might be biased.

    YES YOU DO. DO IT NOW. IT IS MANDATORY.
    The storyline isn't completely relevant but it's still absolutely fantastic, ESPECIALLY at the end.

    Not my favorite. Had some good parts like the panel system, but also had some bad parts like the panel system.

    And finally, I have a reason to regret selling my PSP nearly a year ago... (well, this and the new upcoming God of War by Ready at Dawn). 
     
    Still would rather save up for a 3DS than revinvest though as I'll be in Japan when that's released. Never played the second Kingdom Hearts though nor all the spinoffs so would probably be lost at sea regardless when it comes to the story.

    Pros of 358
    Better integration of the Disney stories with the main plot.
    Panel system was a good concept.
    Multiplayer looked fun (though I had no one to play it with).
     
    Cons of 358
    Story (while interesting in the contexts of the rest of the saga) felt artificially lengthened.
    Had to balance what keyblades looked cool vs. what was more powerful.
    Three different variations of a spell instead of one spell that got more powerful was dumb.
    Status Effects.
    That fucking heartless that would run in a pattern but would go faster as it's health got lower.
     
    So, yeah I guess 358 was not my favorite.
