Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (Nintendo DS, 2009)

I love this game, ever since i experianced the original kingdom hearts part 1, i knew i had to try part 2. It takes you into a world of fantasy, alongside many of your disney favorites, to bring together one amazing story. I love the character designs and themes. I recomend it to anyone who loves a colorful imagination as well as figuring every thing out one step at a time to get to the conclusion.

Before writing this review I'd like to tell everyone that yes I am a passionate kingdom hearts fan and yes I love the games as much as you. Also, I would not recommend buying this game if you have not already purchased the first 2 games. THe first Kingdom Hearts game is on Playstation 2, and if you have not bought it then you have not lived. Its a great game.

Storyline-10
All Kingdom Hearts games have excellent storylines and may even tear some up (I only cried a little, just don't tell anyone), and Square Enix delivers again (no surprise). Unlike the other three games you now play as Roxas, a member of organization 13, and his days joined therein. There is only a few new characters really, so most of these people are familiar faces (Yes, you can play as ANY member of Organization 13 on the missions which you unlock during the story line). This game helps add some light on what Organization 13 really is and how Axel and Roxas became friends.

Gameplay-9
The gameplay, like the gameboy version chain of memories, offers a little twist to what we have known and loved on the other Kingdom Hearts games. You now have panels and only a certain number are unlocked. You must fit your upgrades, weapons, abilities, magic, etc. in these panels. This makes characters VERY customizable. There are countless (well not that many around 20) different weapons to choose from, some excelling in magic, others strength, and others speed. Magic differs very little from the other games but is the same general idea. The reason I gave this a 9 is because the worlds are exactly the same (dont' expect any change from the transition from the old games to this one) and no new music was composed. This is easily looked past by the casual gamer and would probably not bother many anyway because the music is amazing and reliving old Disney movies never gets old.

Graphics-10
The graphics were beautiful for the cutscenes and this is only a DS game. I see them rival and even match those of the Playstation 2. Regretably, there are not as many as you hope for but are not too scarce either. The normal gameplay graphics are not too shabby and do not take away from the gaming experience. I was very impressed, it really added to the game's beauty.

Music-8
Yes the music is amazing, but they sort of lacked in this section. No new music accompanied 358/2 days and I was disappointed. The game deserved better. The old ones are still favorites of mine but could have been better.

Longetivity-10
There are challenge badges that unlock a challenge on every level and unity badges (unlocking a multiplayer level) It is also A LONG GAME. Not to mention the treasure chests.

Multiplayer-9
The multiplayer mode is fun and best of all, you can play as any member of Organization 13 you want! The missions are the same from 1 player, and lag is quite prevalent in 4 player matches. Almost perfect here.


Overall-9.5/10


Although there was no new music, Axel's amazing quote got way overused (got it memorized?) and the worlds were repetative, this game stands out as one of the elite on the DS. Definately worth buying even if you believe the DS is inferior to other systems. I only bought a DS for the New Super Mario Bros and Star Fox and haven't touched it since. This game brought back memories and made me play the DS again. It is cheaper than buying it on the large consoles and definately worth your money.

Shipped quickly! Excellent transaction! I would change nothing about the transaction at all. The seller was professional and delivered the items on time as promised. Highly recommended!

Fast Shipping... Great Service... Excellent Ebayer... THANKS! Everything was exactly the way the seller said it was. Excellent service.

I was very pleased with the fast shipment. The game was packaged well and I tested it out to make sure it worked before I gave to a grandson for christmas and it works great. Thanks to the seller for a job well done.

I purchased this item for my daughter as an early Christmas gift. She is very happy with it and I'm pleased that I got it at a discount price.

Seller shipped promptly and just as described. Will do business with them again. Product is exactly as promised and as described. I am very impressed by the prompt shipping at this time which I am sure has to be very very busy.

This game is really cool. If you were into the Kingdom Hearts first two games then this is a great companion to them. Helps explain what happened to Sora when he was asleep and taken the part of Roxas. Just started it and i think it rocks.

I love how it has the soundtrack from the other Kingdom Hearts games for the PS2, and it completes the story from Kingdom Hearts II. I bought it because my friend bought it and loved it and wanted me to play. The multi-player option is also really fun- it's great being able to play with other friends on your own DS.

i got the game for my son, he is a big fan of the kingdom heart games, he got all of them for playstation, this game is the same thing and now he can play everywhere , great game lots of fun.

Item delivered was exactly as advertised and delivered in good condition. Happy with the purchase and I would use this seller again..

The product was in A1 condition, it was in the package as they had stated.....received it quickly. The grandkids played it all yesterday......I was very satisfied with it all away around.

I purchased this game for my 9 year old son & he was really excited. He really like it & had a great time playing it. The only thing I didn't like was that he finished the whole game in less than 3 weeks. That is minus school time, football practice, football games, homework & chores. So for the money I would have thought it would have taken him longer to "win" or finish the game.

GREAT GAME GREAT PRICE GREAT SELLER FAST SHIP BUY.COM PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick shipment, game in great condition, very helpful. I've been looking for this game since it came out and they offered the best price with free shipping. Thanks for all your help! The game is wonderful!

This game is great for a fan of the kingdom hearts series, and for newcomers

The gameplay is fun and the story is fantastic, some mission are repetive but usually optional

The graphics are great especially for a ds game

5/5

This game is a disappointment to the Kingdom Hearts Saga (KH). Little to no free roaming and just a mission oriented game. Stupid level-up system. I have played KH 1 & 2, and it seems to be a big letdown. However I have not played the KH game for gameboy advance so this could be a hand-held systems approach to the game. I will play it through since I bought it, but it is a big turnoff. This is definitely a RENT-ONLY kind of game. If they make more for the DS, hopefully they will be better.

Awesome game. I was so excited when it came out for DS that I had to get it right away. Can't wait to play it. Anyone who is a fan of the Kingdom Hearts series should definitely get their hands on this, pronto!

My son loves it thank you for sending it out fast, We love ebay sellers like you is why we keep coming back

I have not finished the game all the way. But So far it has been Amazing! It really is quite essential to any fan of the game kingdom hearts.

This game has been played by my son. He has other games under the Kingdom and enjoys them very much but at times he does get frustrated at certain levels. When that happens it is loike he has to start all over again. It is a good game and the art is of good quality. As with all games there is a frustration level when things don't go your way or the way you thing it should go.
