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. "
