Game Title: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Platform: Nintendo DS

Genre: Action RPG

Developer:

Square Enix & h.a.n.d

Summary: The story is from the point of the 13th member of Organisation XIII, Roxas. As the title states, the game goes through the one year that Roxas spend in the organisation. This game is sort of a side story of Kingdom Hearts 2, it is to allow players to understand the story more and the mysteries behind some of the events that takes place during Kingdom Hearts 2. Thus for peopl who have not played the Kingdom Hearts series before, I would not advise them to start on this game as they would very likely be confused on what is going on.

Graphics: The art of the Kingdom Hearts series has always been appealing and would draw people into them. The entire game is presented in 3D with the exception of the menu and dialog scenes. There's also character profile art for the menu which in some cases gives player a more close-uop view of the character. The normal gameplay will brings players who have played Kingdom Hearts before back to familiar places such as Twilight Town and Agrabah. I find that it has made quite full use of the DS capabilities, although the DS is not capable of high-end graphics compared to the PSP, but to me I find that it's already pretty well-done and without lags.

Music: Some of the music used is carried over from Kingdom Hearts 2 but there are some new tracks too. The music are generally enjoyable and fits the environment, it can change the players mood to fit the story and yet does not go overboard. There's some voice acting involved in the game and they fit the characters they belong to. I find that this game still carries on the Kingdom Hearts series of having good music.

Story: As I have mentioned above, people who have not played the previous games in the Kingdom Hearts series before would most likely not get the story. As the main character is an important character in Kingdom Hearts 2 and is involved in alot of mysteries. The game basically covers what happened during the year Roxas spent in the organisation and his relation to the other members such as Axel. The game also covers a mysterious 14th member Xion and how she is related to Roxas as well as the rest of the plot.

Gameplay: This game follows the Kingdom Hearts main serie's gameplay. Players are allowed to run and jump in a 3D environment and they are able to switch between attacks and magic based on another menu by the corner. This gameplay combines both action and strategy as they have to both move around and switch between different commands to use.

Conclusion: I would recomend this definately to Kingdom Hearts fans as this is a great game exceot that the story is somewhat complicated. I would recomend it to others too but I would suggest taht they start with the previous games first, so as not to get confused and also to enjoy the game more.
