"One of the best titles for the Nintendo DS"
A title made by Square Enix and Jupiter with the character designers Nomura Tetsuya (designed characters for the FF series) and Kobayashi Gen, this game has in-depth characters, plot and gameplay. The World Ends With You is one of the few games that requires you to concentrate and be able to use both screens simultaneously bringing out the potential in the console. Not only is the gameplay intense and fun but the storyline brings you into the world of Underground Shibuya and completely hauls you in. If you have a DS, this is a must for your collection.
"An intelligent critique on modern society, and a fantastic RPG."
The World Ends With You is a fantastic game on all accounts. While initially I was turned off by the magna/anime art style and decidedly ‘emo’ flavour, I am now completely hooked. This game provides a unique experience with a complex and involved battle system, taking full advantage of the DS's touchscreen and microphone functionality. I found the character dialogue a little weak, and absolutely loathed the main characters (think whingy, annoying, angsty little bitches), but it is the satirical element of this game which really got me hooked. Underneath it's ‘cute’ exterior and ‘emo’-like themes, lies a clever and deep social-commentary which provides an amazing critique on consumerism and trend-driven, materialistic modern world. It truly is excellent, and for this reason I highly recommend this game to those seeking a fresh RPG experience and some intellectual stimulation.
"the power of Square"
this game is just another example of how great Square Enix is!
the storyline, the artwork and characters, everything about it is just so
awesome and addictive. If you love Kingdom Hearts and/or Final Fantasy then you
must play this

I've brought the imported version and I must admit this is the best nintendo ds game I have ever played hands down.
Now my collection of nintendo ds games is over 75 games long ranging from pokemon to ninja gaiden. I've played any game worth mentioning and this game tops them! I'm not going to spoil it for you but this game is truly great! If you like Kingdom hearts you'll like this or though its aimed at an older audience I loved it and I'm up to the Beat chapter (Near the end of the game) I'm playing on normal difficulty and haven't done any side missions yet, my game time is 52 hours and I'm still playing! another thing with this game is it doesn't seem to end but in a good way! The basic plot is a second chance at living, those who have died can play this game and if they are the winners there granted the power to live again. But there are reapers trying to stop you. In order for reapers to survive they must kill players (Those trying to win the game to come back to life) The story is great but there's also a lot of great side games. There's one game called tin pin slammer (a mini game) which could be a game in itself! there's a tournament available in the game for this mini game which makes it great! not only that but multi player is top notch! Your friend doesn't even need the game thanks to game sharing.
final score.
10/10 (Best game created for the nintendo ds yet)
