"So different from anything else out there" on April 5, 2011 by zakhansonfan

Pros: catchy music, tons of collectibles, great depth, neat story/concept

Cons: WAAAAAYYYYY too much dialogue and having to touch the screen after every bubble, even if it's just Neku saying, "...." is ridiculous; which is too bad, because the story is interesting. Learning curve for dual screen combat is tricky - and I had to go on

Summary: I will write a FULL review when I finish the game, but one thing I want to correct that NOBODY seems to be mentioning:

[from the review]
"...With Neku eventually able to carry six pins into battle, that means being more strategic about which pins to carry to create the most damage. This is because having two pins with the same stylus move requires you to completely use up the charge of one before being able to use the power of the next."

This is NOT true. Some pins can be set as "subs" that only activate when you hit the shoulder buttons. This mechanic was designed specifically to prevent this overcrowding of stylus motions.

NOTE: *any pin can be set as a sub.

"One of the best RPGs you can have." on September 5, 2009 by gamer1210

Pros: Amazing storyline, awesome soundtrack, cool graphics, awesome abilities

Cons: Some of the powers get mixed up.

Summary: What will catch your attention is the music. I think you should buy it, and I found no dissapointment in gameplay. It is a truly unique game.

"Absolute MUST HAVE FOR DS" on August 29, 2008 by Dant312

Pros: Graphics. Story. Game play is unique unlike any other game. Characters. Tons of fun little things. Its different.

Cons: Storyline can be a bit confusing. Game play takes a bit to understand.

Summary: The game play is defiantly different compared to other RPGs. It does take a bit to get use to, but after the learning curve, its great. The storyline is somewhat confusing IF you have a hard time following typical RPGs, but nevertheless, it was one of the best RPG games I've played, and defiantly one of the BEST DS games out there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
