We all know Spuare-Enix as those guys who are responsible for the "Final Fantasy" series. I'm not a real fan of the series, since it's the same format. (Fantasy World with nonexistant creatures.) Now I see this new RPG that looks pretty damn good. It's called "The World Ends with You" When I looked at the Previews for it, I thought it looked pretty decent. I got a bit turned off because of the use of both the touch screen & buttons. I bought it, however, & I loved every minute of it. Instead of it taking place in a Fantasy world in the year who knows when, It takes place in Shibuya Tokyo in 2007-2008. (Kudos to Square for keeping it like the original.) We follow this antisocial dic-uh I mean jerk named Neku, who wakes up in Shibuya's Scramble Crossing. He finds a pin and wonders about it. It appears he can read minds with it. He checks his cell phone with a message saying to meet at 104 with a time limit. If he fails, he'll face erasure. After meeting with a girl named Shiki, they go and take on the Noise, the evil creatures in this game. I won't tell you anymore of the story due to spoilers & time constraints. Anyway, The World Ends with You is a real time RPG where you use both screens for combat. (You can use autoplay for the top.) You control Neku with the touch screen & your partner with the top screen. It's overwhelming, but it get's the job done. the characters are real awesone. Besides Neku, there's Shiki, a girl who wants Neku to open up more, Beat, this street talking dude who's pretty cool with his board, Rhyme, Beat's partner, & Joshua, the mysterious character. the main enemies are Noise & Reapers. (Part of which is called "the Reaper's Game") The customization system is based on the trends of fasion & pins are used as your weapons. The music is badass at best, & there's also a shop system, where if you buy enough stuff, you'll get more friendly with the shopkeeper. The difficulty can be hard when you let it, & you'll have to continue & remember to save. It's okay, however, because It'll be worth it. Anyway, The World Ends with you is an awesome new original IP that anyone with a DS should get. If you are an RPG fan, get it for your collection. either way, play it. You'll be glad you did!

*Not really. In case you were wondering. Imagine you've just woken up in the middle of the street of a busy city. You can't remember anything at all, and nobody can see or feel you. It's as if you don't exist. Then, o... Read Full Review
As always, read the summary at the end if it's too long to read. Square Enix have shown quite a lot of interest in the DS recently, so when I heard that the makers of Kingdom Hearts were making a game for the DS, I co... Read Full Review
