I asked for a 3ds so that I could play this game, as I wasn't up to date with all my Kingdom Hearts games and boy, was it worth it! From the graphics to the new flowmotion action to the running around with the Dream Eater animal pals, it was fab! I really liked how you could flip between Sora and Riku as characters as it added much more depth to the game, rather than solely playing as Sora and having cutscenes about Riku. My favourite world would have to be the Symphony of Sorcery one, as Fantasia is a great film, and I loved how it combined classical music with Disney! Well worth playing this game if you are a Kingdom Hearts fan -both for the gameplay and for the storyline. It's an excellent lead up to Kingdom Hearts 3.

Kingdom Hearts - Dream Drop (Massive improvement to previous portable entries by a) Distance.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2015Verified Purchase
Kingdom Hearts makes its way to the 3DS via Dream Drop Distance. The deceptive title first seeming like something out of candyland from wreck-it-ralph this is a Kingdom Hearts game that sits right underneath Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix in terms of how great a game this is.
The story picks up right where Kingdom Hearts RE:Coded leaves off. the story itself is strong, compelling, slightly confusing for those new to the series but luckily being an avid fan i kept pace.
What Square-Enix have done which really does an impressive job of bringing new fans to the fold is that throughout the game when they refer to a previous encounter for the first time (When Sora is reminded in Notre Dame) it links you to a quick recap on that story allowing players to play through the game uniterupted so as not to google the whole series every 30 minutes.
The graphics itself, whether in 3D or SD is vivid, glorious and overall a treat for a portable console. The same could be said about the soundtrack which as per ALL kingdom hearts games with a dedicated soundtrack is a true marvel.
The gameplay, in comparison the other portable KH games (358/2 or Birth By Sleep) is a massive improvement. alot of people have moaned about how clunky, sluggish, slow moving camera or how annoying the camera is. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance changes that, the whole game runs far more fluidly that previous installments and the movement and combo moves are comparible to that of Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix.
Overall despite the storyline issues that have left many fans confused and bewildered still plaguing the game i must say Square-Enix have done a great job trying to sow it all up. the replay value of this game is mediocre compared the Birth By Sleep or Kingdom Hearts Final Mix or Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix but do not doubt-this game is a smasher.

Does This Latest Drop From The KH Series Go The Distance, or is it just a bad dream?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2012Verified Purchase
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

Huge Kingdom Hearts fan and as always they have blown me away with this game, there isn't a single KH game I have not enjoyed (I even enjoyed chain of memories, even though the card based battle is the worst in my opinion). Anyways, this game is unreal.
As always I kind of don't care too much about the filler disney content but when it gets to the main story I love it and can't turn the game off. This is definitely a game you have to play if you are a fan and following all the story, if you have played all the other games you really need to play this one (well if you are a fan you should play them all, but I believe this one expands on the story so much!).
Without spoiling it too much I will say that some of the fights near the end have been the hardest yet (at least for me). I am not sure if it's due to handheld controls and the fact that holding the 3DS for so long makes my hand ache and feel cramped not to mention how much my fingers ache due to the insane fights near the end with a certain someone!
Also, I was a bit of a noobie here and never found out until the last boss that you could quickly jump to your shortcut command (for me it was heal magic) by pressing the left d-pad button haha. If I had of known that earlier I might of saved my life so many times.
I won't talk about the game too much in terms of features but the Dream Eaters are actually cool, I thought I would miss Donald and Goofy but I liked the way they implemented the Dream Eaters. The drop system I was a little unsure about at first and thought it was going to make each drop too short and get annoying but they get longer after the tutorials and you can make them last longer by drop bonuses and items.
The only part I never liked very much was the Dive system, I much prefer the Gummi system and I know a lot of people never liked that but I loved it. Quite often on the Dive system I died due to not realising what I had to do but eventually figured it out.
Overall, amazing game yet again. They did everything right with it and the return of certain characters just made me feel happy. No other game get's me glued to the screen like KH does. This series is improving with every game and I can not wait for the next big installment which I am hoping is KH and back on consoles, as I believe this is the game to set us up for KH3. So let's hope Square get their butts in gear and get to work on it soon instead of giving us this FF13-Sequel-nonsense.
Oh one more thing, although it was an amazing price, I will not use Amazon again for pre-orders unless I pay for extra fast delivery which I believe with a pre-order standard delivery should be enough. I never got the game until the following wednesday upon release! (terrible for a pre order) but none the less I had it eventually and got my KH fix :D
Forgot to mention, I hate 3D and played with it off as I do in every 3DS game, so I can not comment on the 3D aspect of it :) I usually hate touch screen controls in gaming too but they have actually made good use of it in the small areas that you can use it.
