Video Game Reviews of The World Ends With You
Customer Review: Quite possibly the best game on DS
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a well hardened gamer, and it takes a game such as this to make me leave a review. Hands down, this is the best game I have ever played on the DS. It might even be the best game I have played on any system. Let's take a look at the specs:
Story: Original, great, no complaints here. You die, you play a game to get a second chance at life. You must have a partner to fight enemies. It goes on, it's detailed, but not so detailed that it becomes a headache.
Graphics: It is a DS game, it's not Super Mario DS, but it has very good 2D graphics. Anime-style, designed by the game guy who made the characters from the acclaimed Kingdom Hearts series on Playstation 2.
Controls: Ok, let's take a look at the battle controls. Yes, they are difficult. BUT, you get used to them with time. You can even focus on the bottom screen, and let the auto mode take the top. Once you get used to the bottom, try to integrate the two together. Field controls are east, and not worth an explanation.
Music: Amazing soundtrack, a techno-y, Japanese-y soundtrack. It can get repetetive tho, and I don't usually play with the music on.
Overall: 5/5.
This game has almost no flaws, the only on i can think of is the fact that the controls are hard to get used to.
