Wow... Really? I played the demo of DDD and immediantly went out and bought Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded... which is a really fun game. Now I am going to have to get 358/2 and see what that's about... unfortunatly Im going to have to get a PS2 and see what's up with the Numbered series because, if they are as good or better than the DS versions then I am in for a treat...

If you haven't bought it buy now do so soon for it is a fun and entertaining game that got hammered for very poor reasons. There are problems if your a fan of the series and have played every title. One is the 2d controls for a 2.5d style game. Analog would have been so much better. If you loved coming across energy balls after you kill an enemy and ur really low on power, they no longer have those... i miss them... very very badly. Instead you get a new way to charge up before you die. Hard as nails. People talk about linearity, but what game at it's basic core isn't. If you want to go back and explore you can, and if you can't it's because you need to be given permission to use the power up to do so. I am having a hard time with the fixed camera but all well, it's not that bad... MetroidVania games pretend to give you the choice of exploration, but really with out that next important item your not going to be going far. So sick of people talking about linear this and that... Final Fantasy 13, Other M, Skyward Sword... all linear.... wells, so is final fantasy 7, Super metroid, and Link to the Past... get over it people.

Yep, I had the same problem until I jumped out of the water... It was a hard technique to pull off at first...
