The World Ends with You

Probably one of the most strangest games you'll ever see on DS, your looking at both screens at once through out the game. From the delightful series of Kingdom Hearts series Square Enix has once again made anathor great game thats really worth playing.

Main story is set in Tokyo where you play as a silent charcter caled Neku who gets a phone message warning that he will only have 7 days to live. A mysterious group called Reapers who play a dangerous game where they earseing people for fun. So it's up to Neku to surive and complete the missions but he gets help from his new friends that he meets. Mostly your trying to find how Neku died it sorta feels like Kingdom Hearts 2 where at beginning Roxas or near the end of the game Sora and the Gang that were on the other side of Twlight Town. Neku not the only stuck playing there games you get help from Shiki who is a girl who has a stuffed homade cat to surive. Joshua knows alot about this game game and more info on what happens to him later on in the game. Beat and Rhyme who are brother and sister and always looking out for each other there story gets more serious as well.

During Gameplay in battle mode you mostly controlling Neku but you'll have a partner who will be on the top screen and you'll be pressing the directinoal buttons which sort of feels like dancing stage. The bottom screen playing as Neku your using the touch screen to attack your weapons are pins/badges which where each pin has a touch command assigned to it that triggers a unique ability example a Thunder Pin= Just tap the screen at enimies, some pins you have to draw a circle or blowinging into the microphone for an attack. Sometimes in battles a pin will appear on the top right screen where you can use Fusion/Limit Break where two charcters can use a powerful attack to take out enimies. There are some puzzles in the game during the game your scanning and reading peoples thoughts, also scanning and hunting down Noise's(Enimies). Your also doing tasks in order to get to the next part of the game like taking out enimes in random battles or get your pins at a higher level.

I loved the art and the graphics for this game does remind you of KH Chain of Memories(GBA) mixed with Jet Set Radio. The cutscenes are more like a manga/graphic comic book, the city of Tokyo looks really well done and the battles you go through are just feels like a GBA game but on 2 screens. Tetsuya Noruma did charcter designs for this game you'll probably notice if your a Final Fantasy fan or if your into his art. Sounding was great too brillient soundtrack to listen while playing, great voicing as well and I really liked the graffiti art through out the entire game it was just amazing its just one of those games thats perfect to a Zelda game on DS.

A clever thing about this is if your leveling up your pins and you can't be bothered going through random battles you can just turn off your DS leave it for a few hours, load your game and it will show how EXP is given to your pins longer you leave the high EXP points you'll get for each pin.
Main game can take up to more the 20 hours or more pending how much you play it and enjoy it.
There is Wi-Fi if you were wondering has a few features but you'll need someone esle to have a copy of this game in order to do so. I've waited a year and a half for this game I think its been worth waiting becuase this was a very enjoyable game since Zelda came out for the DS. If your looking for a game to replace Pokemon or Mario, The World Ends With You is really worth picking up if your a fan of Square Enix, love the art or a challenge its worth getting seriously.
