The editors didn't like

  • Things cling to many cliches at times
  • Ending seems a bit thin
  • Load times are long
  • Even after ‘data install'
  • First hour is very slow
  • The game’s mix of mashheavy battles and dodgeheavy boss fights quickly becomes repetitive
  • Terrible dialog
  • Voice acting that ranges from mediocre to horrible
  • The story’s all at once derivative and nighincomprehensible.
  • I didn't find the board game minigame all that interesting
  • Often frustrating camera
  • Canon
  • The story of Kingdom Hearts
  • Birth by Sleep takes place before the original Kingdom Hearts game
  • And though you definitely don't need to have played the previous games to enjoy this one
  • If you have you'll find a lot of nuance and meaning in the story that newcomers to the franchise won't see
  • Thre
  • Camera can be a nuisance
  • A lot of repetition
  • From environments to music
  • Terra's voice acting is abysmal
  • Long load times and frame rate drops.
  • Install is pretty much mandatory
  • Game can still lag and have some annoying load times with the largest install option
  • Can only play through one story at a time
  • Only one Square Enix character (Zack from FFVII) appears and only available on UMD.

  • Abstract:  Birth by Sleep is not the first prequel Square Enix has made exclusively for Sony's PSP. A few years ago the veteran developers brought us Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, a prequel that is arguably better than the original. This year Square hopes to ...
