Amazon.co.uk Review

Square Enix has created many impressive looking DS games, but this wholly original title, from the same team behind Kingdom Hearts, is easily their best. Nothing about the game is conventional --from the contemporary setting in Tokyo’s trendiest shopping district to a split-screen combat system in which you battle graffiti-like monsters with the stylus on the bottom screen while using the pad for a controlling a different style of action on the top screen. With great depth and a vast array of customisation options, The World Ends with You tops it all off with stunning graphics and the best DS soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best RPG on the DS, bar none people!, 19 May 2008
By C. Wells "ex.one UK" (Lincs) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Unbelievably lacking in hype, The World Ends With You is unequivocally the best RPG out now for the Nintendo DS. Why? Because any game that continually draws you deeper and deeper into its story and constantly draw you deeper and deeper into the game mechanics deserves all the praise it so rightfully earns itself.

You play as grumpy, irritating teenager Neku Sakuraba who has apparently just died and been planted into the world of UG Shibuya. You must survive seven days literally in a game of life or death by completing set missions that are sent to you each day. Failure to complete the mission by any of the players taking part means instant deletion.

The game has you pairing up with several characters, who appears on the top screen whilst Neku appears on the touchscreen, and has ou battling against evil monsters called 'Noise' who are essentially there to try and delete you. However, there are also the Reapers, who organise this little game (little game, who are we kidding? THEY'RE ALL GONNA DIE!) - their mission? To kill you basically.

Amazingly, despite a fairly dark undertone, the story is actually quite charming and occasionally light-hearted. There are some good characters and some fantastic character development - you may start hating Neku but you warm to him after a while as he opens up and stops being such a jackass - and some wonderful NPCs to contend with.

What really sells the game is the wonderful array of gameplay mechanics involved - there are far too many to list - all of them are perfectly implemented, never feeling forced, and always leave you wanting to know what's next. It's a deeply rewarding system and the combat, while initially confusing and difficult to master, almost becomes second nature.

It is far too fantastic a game to NOT recommend to anyone. I don't care if you don't like RPGs, I would fully recommend this to everyone I know if I had the chance to.

Here I am: The World Ends With You is the most incredible experience on the DS so far. I am saying this without hyperbole. No other game has had me up so long at night wanting to just level up. Brilliant under all circumstances.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am completely loving this game, 7 May 2008
By Adam D. Bisset "Philosopher" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazing graphics, complex and imaginative storyline, developed characters, innovative use of the DS dual-screen capabilities all combine in this interactive manga RPG. It's great to look at and excellent to play. Highly recommended for people who like RPGs with an interesting story.

Only downside is that the fighting elements are a bit repetitive, but once you've climbed the learning curve they don't have to take too long, and you earn new skills on the way.
