(NDS) The World Ends with You

One of my (non-posted) resolutions for the year is to try to reach a certain level of completion for all the NDS games I had in my possession (Especially for the RPG stuff). Thank God I didn't had something the likes of R4, otherwise it will be a real tall order.

I bought The World Ends with You in december. Yup I was playing Children of Mana back then but it seems to go endless with the missions.

The basic plot of the game revolves the location of Shibuya. If anyone watch Sh15uya (Shibuya Fifteen) and Kamen Rider Ryuki , that's about that kind of twist and turn. Unlike these two Tokusetsu series, TWEwY is more gripping and resolves fairly well. The game really lives to the notion of "Living to what you want, how you want" or something like that as quoted by Mr. H (an important NPC in the game). Generally, the game already allows you to play with you setting up the difficulty (affecting the drop items) and your level (affecting the drop rate) in the midst of the other player settings (like combat/item settings). While the scenarios are preset, the player is pretty much left to choose Encounters and several small tweaks to the subplot/quests. Dual Screen combat is crazy and difficult? Let the com handle your top screen! (althought it's just either hitting X or B).

Engaging and yet it's easy to put the game down (you earn level points for Pins, the primary combat items when the game is on shutdown), it makes a good game on the go (but don't miss your stop!) once you master it, of course. (there's complaints of Steep Learning Curve? I thought all the necessary literatures provided in-game and manual. Wouldn't kill to read, so just read?)
