GREAT GAME the world ends with you is a great game a must by for any ds owner and it also has great music as well at first I thought it was crappy and stupid but you lean you Love it or you Love it form the start as for the game it self its one of the beat ds games I ever played in my life 5 stars hands down
The World Ends With You Set in Shibuya, one of Tokyo's top fashion shopping districts, The World Ends With You tells the story of Neku Sakuraba, a gloomy 16-year-old who detests humans company so much he wishes for the world to leave him alone. Things get surreal when Neku finds himself in the middle of a crowded scramble crossing, without knowing how he got there or why mutant frogs are suddenly materialising out of thin air and attacking them. He calls out to the crowd for help but is simply ignored (after all, he did wish to be left alone). Finally, a girl named Shiki Misaki responds. The two form a pact which results in the unlocking of latent psychic abilities that enable them to battle the cursed creatures. Neku later learns from Shiki that they were both enrolled into the Reaper's Game, a seven-day contest resembling Survivor, where participants, in teams of two, are to tackle a specified mission every day. Fail, and your right to exist is revoked. The cheesy premise may sound typically Japanese, but press forth and you shall be treated to one of the most intriguing storylines ever told in a handheld role-playing game (RPG). Each passing day in the game reveals a startling truth about Neku's bizarre circumstances, such as how he lost his memory of what prizes await victory. Then there are the numerous plot twists, executed so brilliantly they would make even M. Night Shyamalan, director of movies such as Signs and The Village blush. Complementing the story are creative gameplay elements. Puzzles are solved by scanning strangers' minds and implanting thoughts and food can be consumed and burned off to earn statistical boosts. Then there is the cornerstone: A frenetic combat system that has you commanding Shiki on the top screen with the directional pad while simultaneously tapping, slashing or rubbing away on the lower screen to activate Neku's psychic powers. There are over a hundred different powers you can equip Neku with. Yet despite the great variety of powers, few make sense, which makes battles feel more repetitive than they should be. But it's not the end of the world. This small flaw barely makes a dent in an incredibly refreshing RPG that is also the most fashion-forward one this season.

Fantastic! I'm extremely satisfied with this game. The art style, design, storyline are all incredible. Epic Win in a cartridge right here.
I wasn't going to buy it for a while, but I caved in and am seriously enjoying it.

Hands down the best RPG for the DS One of the things that made this one of my favorite games (and by far the best that I own for the DS) is how well the modern styles and themes have been preserved and translated.
I bought this when it came out in Japan (Subarashiki Kono Sekai) and I can tell you that every location and every character name, including the NPCs, have been translated perfectly (even most items and badges/pins have had their named directly translated).
The dialogue in this game was a very pleasant surprise. Kudos to the writing staff, because more than once have I genuinely burst out laughing while going through the text.
As a fan of the original voices, the English voices are much to be desired (as expected) but they aren't terrible. The music has all been translated into English, and they sound great! Surprisingly, I actually prefer some of the songs this way.
I absolutely love Tetsuya Nomura's art style and it works perfectly with this game. Also, most cutscenes are rendered in 2-D, but the objects are placed so that there's still a sense of depth perception. Additionally, almost all interaction between characters are done with text and speech bubbles (my dad thought that I was reading a graphic novel rather than playing a game). It's very different but I think it's rather fitting.
As far as gameplay, it is impossible to play this without a stylus. The battle system is ridiculously fun. Also, if you can't control both screens at the same time as fast as you would like to (like me), the auto mode for the top screen (the bottom screen is completely manual) allows you to input your own controls and have the AI take over after a certain amount of seconds, so you can override the AI when it matters most during battles.
After you finish the game (I did it in 3 days), there is an alternate storyline that you can play, as well as missions and secret reports to complete during a second play through of the main story (think Kingdom Hearts II), so this game has a pretty high replay value (besides the fact that it's just fun to play).
If you have a DS then there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't check this game out. =)
