If you've never liked Kingdom Hearts before, 358/2 Days will not sway your opinion, as it's basically the same action RPG seen on the Playstation 2 with a different (and one may argue, more interesting) customization system. However, if you like Kingdom Hearts or even action RPGs in general, 358/2 Days is a worthy game for you to spend time on. Despite obvious problems that pop up from attempting to fit a control scheme optimized for the PlayStation 2 onto the less precise DS controls, 358/2 Days is a very enjoyable, technically impressive game, and if this is the quality that Square Enix will take with its Kingdom Hearts series, I await Birth by Sleep for my PSP with much anticipation.

Well, first I'd take the review with a grain of salt since he called KH2's story "a story with poor pacing, disjointed story arcs, pointless characters, and a reveal that basically invalidated the entirety of the first game", which means he's somebody who I wouldn't agree with. Still, it's a good score, a bit lower than I would have expected, but the import reviews of the site tend to be a bit harder on games than the regular ones, so I'm sure it will be a great game. I'm worried about the control issues he mentions, though
