It looked kind of weird. I'm not sure that I would find a game with that kind of fighting method fun. It looked like the character had to input commands like DDR in order to do his/her attacks. I thought that a game like that wouldn't be fun, maybe annoying, and it seemed so hectic. But that's just what I think. What makes the game fun?

I played it on my friend's DS, and I didn't really get into it. It does get pretty hectic, but from my understanding, the character on the top screen can assigned to auto battle. However, I did play it at an earlier level with no practise, so I'm guessing once you get used to it, it'll be intense.

Well, you control two different characters at the same time in most battles. Neku (the main character) is controlled by the touch screen, while the 2nd character is controlled by the D-pad. Co-ordinating attacks between the characters can be confusing, but you can set that character to auto-battle if you want. Naturally things get more complicated the further you go into the game, but the 2nd character control isn't as complicated as it would seem. Where it gets fun is if you can get into a rhythm and pass the "puck" back and forther to build combos, damage will increase, and it can unlease stronger "sync" attacks.

(Please don't call me a nub, I just lurk a lot)

Well, I've played TWEWY for about 10 days or so and it's not awkward I think on the top screen. The top screen character (I can't give you a concrete name, because multiple characters use the top screen) can be used by the CPU who fortunately isn't that stupid. You can set it to how fast it picks up to being auto-controlled, from 3 seconds idle, to almost instant, to keeping it manually all the way. The touch screen can get a little hectic though. The game is a little uncooperative when it comes to what makes a circle, and if you have like a circle-drawing pin, and a drag-objects-around pin, it ends up getting frustrating sometimes. The game has a higher learning curve compared ot some other games but it's not like break-your-DS-in-two kind of frustrating, anyone can get into the game after getting the hang of it.

OK Ichwillsandwich, but doesn't that form of battling make it annoying after a while?

Not really. It's an option to only use one screen for the battle (and have the other get beat up) for a bonus if you're tired of using one screen or the other.

Trust me, battles get easier as you get more comfortable with the pins. It that point, you can really just focus on the top screen while hurting enemies (without paying attention) on the bottom.

I'm in the same boat as you. The gameplay looks nice and all but I'm still shaky on actually buying the game. It looks fun and interesting but I still have my concerns.

i also played on my frends ds to try it out. I didnt like it at first but then i realized how fun it was after a while. It wudnt be fun if the pins and dual screens didnt make it so hectic. Satisfying when damage is done to ur enemies. Artwork and music are also kool. The game jus takes a while to appreciate and i am not a big fan of rpgs.

You may thimk the gameplay is boring, but it gets eally hectic, intense, and fun after a few battles, especially when you can use a lot of pins. The story is also awesome, and the soundtrack is great. It is one of the best DS games and RPGs out there.

I have this game and I beat it 100%. Amazing game, the battling never gets hectic , you could do what I sometimes do and just constantly pressing left and right on the d-pad and then you just have to focus on the bottom screen and that makes it real easy. BUY THIS GAME! SO amazing, my eyes opened after playing this game and it gave me a new take on the world!
