always the best Kingdom hearts always the best .. no comment .. its just nice
Gread Addition to the Series For all people who wanted to play Kingdom Hearts in a portable console: this game is for you!
The battle system is nothing like the one in Chain of Memories (in case that one put you off), but instead uses a system much similar to the original PS2 game.
The innovation comes in the form of the Panel system, in which your abilities are represented by blocks which must be arranged on a grid in order to be equipped. It starts off simple at first, but further into the game it begins looking more and more like a static game of Tetris. It's actually very easy to customize and you'll get the hang of it in no time!
As for graphics, the game squeezes out all of the DS's 3D capablities; enough to make the game feel like any other Kingdom Hearts game out there. The battles are fast paced, and lagging and loading times are inexistent. The movie clips are outstanding and beautiful, and for moments you can forget you're actually playing on a DS.
The sound is also perfectly ported; you'll be able to hear a lot of familiar tunes from the series as well as a few new tracks.
Thankfully for a portable game, the story progresses in the form of short daily missions, and you can save between them. As you're nearing the end of the game they become much longer, but never enough for battery charge to be an issue. Just make sure it's fully charged when you tackle the last one!
You can also replay most missions on Mission Mode (Multiplayer), which allows you to play cooperatively or competitively with friends by means of local wireless (up to 4 people, everyone must own their own copy of the game). This version, unlike the Japanese one, where you necessarily had to play with others to get prizes, allows for Solo Mission Mode, in which you can get prizes even while you're playing on your own.
In terms of plot, the story progresses rather slowly, and only begins to surface once you've played almost half of the game. However, by that time, you're so immersed in the characters' daily life that you yourself might begin to forget important plot points from the other Kingdom Hearts games. It is a very effective device. Even if you've never played other games in the series, the story can be enjoyable, but you'll still be missing out on a lot. As a whole, it starts off like something trivial, but in the end it becomes an important addition to the series that solves a few questions while raising several more. Just a tip: if you're thinking of picking up Birth by Sleep (PSP), you might want to play this game first!
Overall, this game is a must for any Kingdom Hearts fan, and certainly a great Action RPG for any DS owners. It's not just simply "Kingdom Hearts on DS", but a true addition to the plot that should not be missed. Just make sure you approach this game with no prejudice, and you're in for a real treat.
Awesome game A great action RPG that manages to differentiate itself slightly from the main series. Anyone could jump in and enjoy this, but Kingdom Hearts fans will probably be hooked after hearing the title screen music.
Kingdom hearts I have played the Kingdom hearts on the GBA and this game uses all the graphics the DS can handle. The cutscenes make it really seem like the game is one whole story.. great to play
