The World Ends With You (DS)

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.
