The World Ends With You

Its a Nintendo DS game by Squeenix. Check it out, buy it, "borrow" it from a friend, or whatever.

IT IS AWESOME!

I know I can google it myself, but a link, some pictures or a mini review would be very nice.

A tad more nice then just a simple text that the game rocks.

Alright, alright. I shall.

Anywho, to put it this way, the game follows every bad cliche ever down in the normal japanese RPG universe. From spiky headed kids, to the main character having anmesia, 1-man army syndrome, and angst.

Lots and lots of angst.

Story telling aside (And lemme tell you, past all the cliches, they do have some tasty story in there), the battles are awesome. You control two characters at one, using the D-pad (or the A-B-X-Y buttons for you lefties out there), and the stylus. The main character, Neku, ends up using the stylus as you hack, slash, and tap your enemies until they're dead. (You also touch and drag Neku around to move him.) Now, for your asisst character, you end up using him/her by pressing a combination of moves. Moving in directions on your combo tree (Which can be shaped like a spear [Move left or right a lot before moving up or down] or club [Move up or down before you start the left or right chain].

As if it didn't sound bad enough, both characters participate in the same battle, though they don't come into contact with each other. Its like some kind of horrifying multi-task fight. Though, you'll usually end up staring at Neku, only to glance back up at your assist character to switch which side he/she will be fighting.

I got to day 5 and promptly lost interest. All my friends don't get how that's possible...
