A must have for any strategy fan, but if you're new to strategy games, you'll have a rough time with it.
Graphics are the best of 2-D that you may find on the DS, but it adds in some nice graphical effects with spells... Whatnot. It looks fine, nothing bothersome.
It's got a great soundtrack, epic, really. Just gotta listen to it.
Overall, if you know how to play the game, you'll love it.
There's just not much battle tutorial help, so you might get thrown in clueless if you don't pay attention. Once you know what the hell you're doing, you'll get addicted. Really addicted. The World Ends With You-addicted.
I'm giving it a 9 out of 10... Because so far, I love this game. You'll be getting more than a bang for your buck. You'll be getting... A nuclear explosion.
Kaboom.
