Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Developer - Hand
Publisher - Square-Enix
Release - Today!
Genre - Action RPG
Rating - ESRB E10+
Platform - DS

Quick Glance: Since Kingdom Hearts is my favorite game series ever, I thought that today's episode of Tuesday Quickie would be a speical one. Abruptly named, 358 Days Over 2 (yes, that's how it's said), this has you play as Roxas, Sora's Nobody. If you're already confused, that's too bad! You play as Roxas and his days within Organization XIII, which bridges the gap between Kingdom Hearts and Chain of Memories. The developers tried and successfully fit a huge 3-D engine on the DS cartridge. It looks great and feels great. Unlike previous KH titles, you play through missions, starting in a Hub World at Castle Oblivion. You and Organization members go out and complete missions together, in Disney world. Yes, Disney worlds. That's where KH's charm lies. The combat system is great and has limit attacks here and there. New is a new panel system, where you customize Roxas's abilities by placing item and attack panels into slots. Also new is a series first, 4 player multiplayer mode, where you and up to 4 friends can partake in all new multiplayer missions, and can play as any of the XIII members. Sounds like I've got a new game to buy!
