  • Some of the most vibrant, creative visuals and music on the DS; innovative battle system; most original RPG story in years, tons of customization.
  • Games look and feel may not appeal to everyone; steep learning curve.
  • One of the most fun, addictive, out-of-the-box RPGs since Earthbound. If you can handle the hardcore learning curve, the payoff is terrific.

  • Abstract:  The World Ends With You marks the most original Square Enix project in quite some time. Completely devoid of Chocobos or Moogles, and lacking either the words Final Fantasy, or Kingdom Hearts, it might be hard for some fan boys to believe that a new Sq...

  • Abstract:  RPG heavyweight Square Enix has released their latest loot collecting, stat-boosting, level-grinding game with little hype or pre-release buzz. The Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts creators’ The World Ends with You recently snuck onto retail shelves u...

  • Abstract:  del.icio.us | Digg This | Glink It Square Enix has put out a ton of games in the past few years, most of them appearing under their banner title, Final Fantasy. But if you’re like me and maybe a little tired of that mythology, then you’ll be glad to...

  • Solid combat; surprisingly deep gameplay; fantastic style.
  • Dull characters; convoluted story; fairly repetitive.
  • Its always risky to take a departure from the tried-and-tested formulas. Many developers try to do new things, but only a select few succeed in making something people actually enjoy. With The World Ends With You, Tetsuya Nomura and Jupiter have craft...

  • Abstract:  Set in the trendy Shibuya district of Tokyo, The World Ends With You is as frenetic and fast-paced as the city that it takes place in. But dont let the break-neck pace of the game fool you: World Ends is a worthy addition to Square-Enixs impressive p...

  • Abstract:  Its pleasing to see that Square Enix--despite having the Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts megafranchises in its lineup--is still willing to go boldly into new frontiers with the release of original games like The World Ends With You. Th...

  • Abstract:  Don't write off Square Enix's latest adventure, The World Ends With You, simply because of its appearance. True, on the surface the game looks like a compilation of the company's most annoying clichés and bad habits. You've got the surly loner hero, th...
