A pretty decent Kingdom Hearts game. Really cool RPG / ability mechanics in the background. This is one of the only Kingdom Hearts game not remastered and ported to console, so it's worth picking up for fans of the series.

I grew up playing games in this franchise and I absolutely love how you can travel to different worlds within the game

A bit grindy and boring at times, but the characters are nice.

Without a doubt a great game in the kingdom hearts series

Amazing

I used to play the Kingdom Hearts games back in my youth. While at Gamestop I needed to pick up a new Nintendo DS game for my daughter because she had just finished a Zelda game and didn't have anything new. So I figured, what the heck, I liked it as a kid maybe she will too. Turns out she is now hooked. She already loved the anime style that was in it, but mixing some good ol' Disney in there was new to her and she raves about how much fun it is to play.

Best of the Kingdom Hearts DS games. If you want to go for 100%, though, be prepared for a lot of frustration on getting those Organization Medals.

A good installment in the Kingdom Hearts series but it can be a bit repetitive.

While I'll say its story is actually fairly decent, for what it is, 358/2 Days isn't especially good as a video game. The combat is solid, but basic and the inventory grid system is interesting, yet tedious, at best, and ungodly obnoxious, at worst, and most of the levels are just retreads of levels you've probably played already, and the mission structure is both extremely repetitive and exhausting, after a while. It doesn't help that some missions are exercises in sheer frustration (I'm looking a YOU, Emerald Serenade). While the idea of playing as Roxas is really cool, he doesn't have a lot at his disposal, and you only get to dual-wield (which is really fun to use when you get to use Roxas in an unnerfed manner, to give the game some credit) during the (very short) first part of the last level (well, you can replay the missions as dual-wielding Roxas... in Mission Mode, where you deal extremely pitiful amounts of damage because of how it's designed for co-op and ONLY co-op, so what's the point, if you're playing the game, by yourself?). Like with Re:Coded, only get this if you are a diehard Kingdom Hearts fan and need it for your collection. Otherwise, just get the HD remasters (ESPECIALLY the "The Story So Far" compilation, for the PS4 [and hopefully eventually the Switch]) and watch the cutscenes, there. It's far from the worst game ever made, far from it, but it's painfully mediocre and just plain dull, most of the time, and it doesn't do anything gameplay-wise that nearly every other Kingdom Hearts game does better, anyway, so there's not much of a point in playing it, other than morbid curiosity.

I love this game it will always be one of my favorite games ever.
