Hi all,

We have just published a review of *The World Ends With You* for
Nintendo DS - if you could post a link on your site that would be very
much appreciated.

*/"The World Ends With You is both a fantastically imaginative and
hugely derivative game as far as DS RPGs go and the whole thing feels
like a teenage version of //Contact what with the intriguing art style
and obsession with stickers and badges as weapons.

There’s two ways to look at //The World Ends With You, if you ask us.
You can look at it in terms of Square Enix and say that, as far as their
history goes, //The World Ends With You is a good game, but hardly as
remarkable as past titles. //Final Fantasy VII this is not.

On the other hand though, if you look at this as far as the DS goes,
then this is definitely one of the best RPGs the platform has seen.
Yeah, it may not be the next //Final Fantasy, but it’s still a great
game and the art style that runs through the game is both striking and
adorable. The characters are visually arresting and some of the more
powerful combos and fusion powers are really quite cool.

The best thing about //The World Ends With You though is that the game
manages to be both involving and accessible. There’s an awful lot of
information to absorb in the first few hours of play, not least of which
is the combat system, which is hugely fun and frantic but also tough to
get to grips with. The game never once feels overpowering or dull though
and instead pulls players in deeper, thanks to characters that players
can relate to and excellent dialogue.

//The World Ends With You may not quite live up the expectations of
those wanting the next //Final Fantasy or //Kingdom Hearts – but those
people would probably never be satisfied anyway and, as it is, //The
World Ends With You is still a fantastic game that all DS gamers can
easily enjoy. "/
