That Metro.co.uk reviewer needs nothing but shovelware on his schedule for the next 5 years so he can appreciate some quality games again. Seriously, 4/10 is fucked up. Where do you place real shovelware on this scale?

Just finished the game a few hours ago. This game is awesome! So much to look forward to in the future and the gameplay itself is fantastic! I think I may also have a new favorite boss battle too, but I can't decide because there are so many! Highly recommended for every Kingdom Hearts!

I couldn't get my trade-in deal at Futureshop or Best Buy, the games are sold out at my closest trade-in stores. :(

Sad to see this thread not taking off with Kingdom Hearts fans. Oh, well. I just finished pretty much everything in the game on standard, including the secret boss and re-fighting all the bosses. Not going to bother collecting all the treasures and spirits, but whatever.

Overall, I think this game is better than Birth By Sleep in some ways, but worse in others like commands. They were so fun to use in Birth By Sleep, but now there not. But, I can't say it wasn't fun using some of the commands in the game though. I really like the Dream Eaters and how every one of them was unique, though not really for Riku. The story is a bit confusing, but like all other Kingdom Hearts game I'll probably get it soon. In conclusion, Kingdom Hearts 3D is one of the best 3DS titles out there. Don't know if it's my favorite Kingdom Hearts game, but it is one of the best in the series.

just finished it, I must say it's pretty good, not better than birth by sleep as the story the KH: 3D doesn't really pick up until the last 2 worlds, but I must say it is one of the best ending sequences of the KH series as bomb on top of bomb gets dropped on you in like the last hour of play. it pretty much gives you the premise of what KH 3 will be.

the game felt like it was more Riku's story than Sora as he plays a more important role in the game and the plot pretty much revolves around him. I liked Riku's links better than Sora as they actually enhanced his abilities while Sora's were mainly a just revolved around the animal itself.

this games really got me excited for KH III...sadly we won't have it for awhile

from what i played (the demo)
the game needs the cpp to be played comfortably
other than that, the game looks very good and has interesting mechanics

After 6 hours, I like it so far. The new special ability-based mechanics from BBS feel a bit awkward to me, but the difficulty is right, the worlds are big and fresh, and the presentation pretty. Plus, the boss fights are great without completely overshadowing regular fights ala KH2.

Here is my official review, for your perusal :)

By our rating system, a score in the 8's is 'great'. ;)

I think this very well may be close to being my favorite KH game. Haven't finished, but as of NOW, I'd rank as follow:

KH 1
KH 3D
Chain of Memories (gba version)
KH 2
365/2
re:coded
(cant play birth by sleep cuz of stupid disney digital crap)

there are alot of things done right in this, however i would like to see the Disney characters be involved in the gameplay more
