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.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep has the best battle system in the series and one of the most ambitious storytelling devices yet; the game's few issues aren't enough to spoil the fun. With three characters to choose from, plenty of fun mini-games and a r...

While it's beautiful to behold, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep suffers from repetitive design, frustrating boss fights, and a badly executed storyline. It's a shame because its many flashes of brilliance seemed to hint at a title that could have been the...
Terrific character models, particle effects and cut-scenes. Simple combat system on the surface but with an unbelievable variety of commands to keep things interesting.
The camera gets confused in closed areas, and so does the targeting system. Typical bland Kingdom Hearts arenas.
Abstract: Portable games are often ports of titles that have already been popular on home consoles. They are often glitchy, and obviously dumbed down to fit onto the smaller format. Favourite characters are sometimes missing, graphics butchered, control schemes ...

Annoying Camera, Long Loading times, Repetative Worlds enviroments and Music.
Abstract: Published September 19th 2010. Written by Chris Hallam. Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, the latest entry to the series, finally makes it to the European shores with lots of promises by Square Enix which could potentially be an Achilles heel to how the g...
Birth By Sleep should appeal across the board with its mixture of Disney and Squenix, by being easy to play yet hard to master and through offering a rich, long-lasting and diverse gaming experience. Two thumbs up, recommended. 8.8/10Print this pageCom...
