A Great Game, An Awesome Adventure
I will be perfectly honest, I hate reviewing games, but the time I spend writing this will be worth it if I can convince just one person to play it! In this review I will try to keep the spoilers to a minimum but some may slip by me, so I'm sorry I if ruin it for you.
To start off with I'll talk about the storyline, when I began playing Days, I was thinking to myself that I knew what the entire story was. I was wrong. In fact the only thing I knew about it was this basic fact, it covers Roxas' life in Organisation XII from birth to his betrayal and placement into the artificial Twilight Town. This game throws at us plot twist after plot twist. These plot twists make it almost impossible to put the game down at three o'clock in the morning and you have to go to school in the morning at 8.45.
This game manages to be a great game and at the same time tie Kingdom Hearts 1, Kingdom Hearts 2, and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories together with an admirable skill. It mentions the fight between Xemnas and Sora in Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix (you don't know who he is at the time), the time Axel spent Castle Oblivion and the annihilation of Marluxia and the rest of the traitors, and the first week in Kingdom Hearts 2 (when you play as Roxas). Square Enix have also commented that Days will also tie in with the upcoming Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep.
The gameplay is largely unchanged from Kingdom Hearts 2. They removed the drives from Kingdom Hearts 2, but they added an all new feature called Limit attacks. These Limit attacks allow you to use a very powerful attack when your health reaches a yellow bar on your hit points gauge. Every playable character in this game can use their own Limit attacks.
This brings me onto Mission Mode. A new feature added is Mission Mode. This mode allows you to play any mission from story mode, once you have the item which allows you play these missions in Mission Mode. This mode allows you to use any Organisation XIII character as well as 5 unlockable characters. Each character has their individual weapons. By completing missions you earn crowns, you can use these to redeem certain items, often ones that are unobtainable any other way. Mission Mode provides you with something to do after you complete the game. Also the best part about it is that it is a Single-Player and a Multi-player mode.
Overall, I would consider this game to be a worthwhile game to buy. It will continue to amaze you in more ways than one, even after you finish it. I would defiantly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Square Enix or even RPG games in general. I give this game a 10/10.
