My son asked me to order this for him. He says he likes it and it is fun. There isn't anything he does not like about it.

A lot has been said about the difficulty of this game, but I actually think that Square has done an amazing job making the game as user friendly as possible. The game is only as deep as you want it to be, rewarding harcore players while not scaring off more casual players; an amazing tightrope walk. br /br /The game is in fact very very easy if you play it as at your maxed out level on Normal. What is interesting is that you can change the difficulty and your level at will, making it only as hard as you want it to be. You get rewarded for playing it harder, of course, but the game really seems to want everyone to enjoy it and it doesn't feel like it's just punishing you for no reason (like a lot of japanese RPGs). Also your weapons level up when you're NOT playing the game! I know i've put down many RPGs and never came back to them because they were either too hard, or I thought I had forgotten the intricacies of the battle system. The game actually encourages short play sessions and makes you a little stronger every time you come back, which is brilliant I think. br /br /Overall I hope that this is future of RPGs (and not FF12 which is barely a game at all) and it proves that Nintendo is the true home of innovative game mechanics.
OUTSTANDING for *any* Gamer even this middle age Mom! June 22, 2008

I won't rehash all that has been said previously about this game in the other reviews. Simply put: This is the best game I've ever played on the DS. It ranks right up in the Top 3 I've ever played.br /br /I am mainly writing this review for all you casual gamers out there. This game walks you through the steps and actually teaches you what to do PLUS you get practice time. One of my big issues with games is the frustration level since you don't know what to do or where to do it. I bought a DS and a Wii as a way to play more with my kids, since they prefer video over board games (board games are what I grew up with). In an effort to spend some more time with them doing things *they* like to do I started playing the DS. We have found a few Wii games but the majority are only so-so. I was very worried that the DS would have the same problem but we've found quite a few excellent games that really are varied. I have to say this 40+ year old mom has a new love. br /br /Back to the game: I cannot express how awesome this game is. As a FIRST TIME RPG/Action player I have had no problem picking up all the skills needed to play. It is varied and has many options for difficulty. In fact (much to my surprise!) I have been doing much of the game at all 3 levels in order to collect the most pins and level them up. br /br /For any type of gamer I highly recommend TWEWY. I can only hope they make a sequel.
Amazing! Never would have thought... June 12, 2008

I agree with the other reviews on this site. This game is truly one of a kind! I had never heard of this game before. After reading several reviews, however, I thought I would give it a shot. Wonderful story and gameplay. Definately keeps you engaged all the way through! I am much more of a casual game-player (being a young professional and all), but definately worth it!
A True Masterpiece. June 7, 2008

I just wanna tell everyone about an EXCEPTIONAL game. From beginning to end, in every way, I found it to be a true work of art... in fact, the elements come together to make it one simple thing; a masterpiece.br /br /It is called The World Ends With You, by Square-Enix for the Nintendo DS. I won't go into details about exactly what happens... but just know, the plot, storyline twists, and character development are some of the best in any game I have ever played. They are on par with the best movies I have ever seen.br /br /The game takes you through a journey questioning what it means to be alive, and what the point of living truly is. It keeps you on your toes trying to guess the end, and in the final moments still leaves you absolutely shocked, and even leaves many points unresolved (but luckily you can go back after you beat it and complete tasks which answer these ideas which were vaguely laid out for you). It does so in a mind-twisting way that is so distinctively Japanese its brilliance is astounding.br /br /On top of all of that, it features an exceptionally unique art style, with an innovative and fun battle system. In fact, every system or menu in the game is extremely original, yet simple and easy to get a hang of. The music is also top notch (all sorts of j-pop rock), and theres lots to collect and play with.br /br /Its rare I will praise ANYTHING this much... but this game rekindles that majesty Square used to be known for; the ability to touch the player with a story told not in a couple hours, but through a course of dozens of hours and countless interactive experiences. The ending, as well as several moments in the game, struck a cord with me and what I am dealing with in my own life. Almost never has a game been so inspirational and therapeutic, while completely avoiding sounding like a self-help book.br /br /The World Ends With You mixes fun and an incredibly powerful narrative into one interactive masterpiece. Its games like these that make me remember why I consider video games to be the most potent art form in our world today.
