User Rating: 9 | Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days DS
By seaward12 | Review Date:
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is only for Kingdom Hearts fans. I couldn't see any other gamer getting into it without knowing at least 75 percent of the story beforehand. With that said, I think this game is a fairly worthy addition to the Kingdom Hearts franchise, despite its problems. Even amidst the slow pacing and serious repetition, I found rewarding combat and yet another nostalgia-filled story. While not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I think Kingdom Hearts fans should pick this one up.
After all, what's better than watching the sun set with a bar of sea salt ice cream?


Presentation: An intriguing story from the perspective of Organization XIII. Overall, a well put-together game, but environmental repetition seriously hurts this experience. 7/10

Graphics:For a DS game, this looks pretty darn good, though the DS hardware definitely limits 3D game design. Kingdom Hearts was originally a PS2 game, so squeezing it onto one little cartridge is tough. 9/10

Sound: Certain cutscenes are voiced, which is appreciated, but everything else is text-only. Music tracks are pulled from previous Kingdom Hearts games. Major drag. 7.5/10

Gameplay: Combat, more reminiscent of the original Kingdom Hearts, is fun and enjoyably challenging. Character customization and multiplayer options are great additions.9/10

Lasting Appeal: With plenty of missions to unlock, multiplayer options to experiment with and a robust single-player story, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days will last a long while. 9.5/10

Overall: 9/10
