The word "broken" is an understatement when it comes to the controls in "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days" for the Nintendo DS. I was looking forward to this game, until I played it and I died over and over again because of the terrible controls. I spent 4 hours on the tutorial alone, which is unacceptable for a type of game that is imperative to suck the gamer in immediately. I loved Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, but this was disappointing to say the least. I couldn't even get past Agrabah without hitting the perverbial wall. There is no open world sandbox, therefore there's no clear way to gain experience at a rate that the gamer is required to do. The only positive thing about this game is the graphics. Square Enix knows how to make great graphics for the DS, but again, the controls are so terrible that there is no way to fully enjoy this game. Terrible game, don't buy it, I'm going to trade this in for something better tomorrow.
