A ton of fun, at least for the first playthrough!:
I enjoyed playing The World Ends With You so much. I do have a couple brief issues, but nothing enough to knock down the game's rating for me. These are the aspects that come to mind most with the game:

battle system confusing at first
hard to follow 2 screen action at once, controlling it is still harder
some improvement... more info

Story: Original, great, no complaints here. You die, you play a game to get a second chance at life. You must have a partner to fight enemies. It goes on, it's detailed, but not so detailed that it becomes a headache. Graphics: It is a DS game, it's not... more info
