To be entirely honest with you, I'm only about five or six hours into this game, but - when I noticed that there were no reviews for this, I decided to write one.
Please bear in mind that I obviously haven't finished the game, and I'm only writing to give potential buyers a vague idea of what to expect - I hope to update this review upon my completion of the game.
Overview:
The basic principle is the same as in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 - travelling between different worlds and unlocking key holes. Sora and Riku are taking a test to become keyblade masters, and must unlock the keyholes for 'sleeping worlds' in order to pass.
Graphics:
On the whole, the graphics are great. The opening video - as usual - is fantastic, and the 3D works well. The in-game graphics are about the same as those in Kingdom Hearts 2, but a little more pixellated because, obviously, it's on a smaller screen. I tend to find that there is some slight ghosting with the 3D while I'm playing, but nothing really off-putting and it isn't constant.
The characters look detailed and expressive.
Game play:
The game makes use of all the buttons on the 3DS. I found it a little tricky to remember all the different buttons, but I think I've got them nailed now.
Fighting has been improved - the MP bar has been removed and, instead, each power has to 're-load' before it can be used again. This means you don't have to repeatedly use Ether in order to use magic attacks or cure yourself, so I like this change.
Also, you are able to jump onto walls or spin around lampposts for better fighting combos or just for effect. It's a fairly easy technique to use, and it looks very cool.... Read more ›

I'm only sixteen years old, but I have been a fan of the Kingdom Hearts series since the first game came out back in 2002 and I have to say, this game has certainly lived up to my expectations, if not exceeded them. If you haven't played a Kingdom Hearts game before, then you need to buy yourself the games and get to know the series. Even if you don't decide to buy the previous games, KH:DDD offers a very handy Chronicle section which summarises the story so far, starting with Birth By Sleep and ending with RE:Coded.
The storyline of DDD is, of course, absolutely mesmerising. Sora and Riku must undertake the "Mark of Mastery Exam" to become true Keyblade Masters so they can combat the ever nearing threat. They must travel into the Realm of Sleep and unlock 7 Keyholes to awaken 7 different worlds out of their "sleep". Characters from different Disney films make their appearance; The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Tron: Legacy, Pinocchio and the well loved Disney version of the Three Musketeers. The cast of The World Ends With You also make a dazzling appearance in Traverse Town, making it the first time that I have ever wanted to revisit that world. Admittedly, I would have liked the game to have been a little bit longer. I finished it in just under 24 hours of game time and was left hungry for more. I have to say though; playing as Riku really made this game that bit more interesting. It was wonderful to finally get inside his head and play as his character. Not to mention he's a heck of a lot stronger than Sora as he reaches his higher levels. But that's just me...
The graphics were stunning. After playing 358/2 Days, I was almost worried that the graphics would be the same; pixilated and disappointing, but I was surprised.... Read more ›

Having only played previous installments of the series on the Nintendo DS I decided to pre order Dream Drop Distance and whilst I'm only six hours into the game, so far for me it is the single best game currently available for the Nintendo 3ds!
Let me explain why.....
When you switch the game on you're greeted by the sublime intro video to this game featuring mickey, Donald, sora and other favourite characters, it makes great use of the systems 3d and the soundtrack that accompanies is beautiful and catchy( I find myself humming it now! Lol).
I've seen the PS2 versions of KH and I personally think that cut-scenes and graphics are slightly better rendered here on the 3DS and the 3D adds just the right amount of depth in this game especially when playing (spoiler alert) the dive game. Where controls are concerned they are easy to use especially in combat, and the camera can be best controlled I Find using the circle pad pro however that is just my preference.
The fun new addition of a pokemon/nintendogs feature where you can build dream eaters that can help you in combat is surprisingly addictive, as a nearly 30 year old guy I find it strange to admit I like it. Without giving any spoilers away for anyone fans or not, this game is just wonderful, it's fun, well paced gameplay makes it easily the finest on the system to date likewise with the graphics.
BRING ON KINGDOM HEARTS 3!

Does This Latest Drop From The KH Series Go The Distance, or is it just a bad dream?

The latest game in the long running Kingdom Hearts Series lands on the 3ds with Dream Drop Distance. After years of fans demanding a true sequel this title aims to get the plot back on track for a true numbered sequel. The last few spin off games have been pointing towards this game and aims to answer a few questions.
This outing is by far the strongest entry in many years and utilises the technology of the 3ds well. The graphics are superb, vibrant and Clear. The Storyline is sometimes drawn out and borderline convoluted but does the job. The gameplay i also solid with the main mechanic being the new 'Drop' guage swapping between Sora And Riku. This guage counts down and enters 'bonus mode' before forcing you to swap to the other character. using Items delays the gauge dropping and swapping. This system does seem redundent when it drops you during a boss fight as you can instantly swap straight back but the boss regains all it's health back so keeping an eye on the meter is key. Cameo's from the cast of Square-enix's 'The World Ends With You' was also very welcome.
It's one of the finest 3DS games on the market and comes highly recommended

The worst KH in my opinion
Worst storyline, easy gameplay.
Pokemon-like system, that I personaly think is no good.
Still, is enjoyable, especially in later levels.
