It’s fine in moderation– and when done extremely well, games go beyond any preconceptions– but the RPG world could use a little kick in the pants to get it moving, and that’s exactly what The World Ends With You is. Unaware of his past, and unable to communicate with anyone on the busy streets of Shibuya, Neku is thrust into a ghost-like world where he and his partner must complete daily challenges, destroy evil entities known as”Noise”which are the embodiment of stress and social distortion in the world, and attempt to regain his life back one day at a time. Everything from the battle system, unique world interface, storytelling, music, and interactive”out of game”elements make The World Ends With You a must-play experience, and the visual style is just the beginning. The most exclusive aspect of The World Ends With You is the battle system, which combines the use of d-pad and touch screen to control both Neku and his active partner at the same time. The action can get extremely hectic, but once you master the dual screen combat it’ll prove exactly why The World Ends With You can only exist on a system like DS, and it’s a remarkable battle mechanic in the end. read more
