DS User Reviews

Peccato che molta gente non abbia potuto giocare questo capolavoro. Square Enix dovrebbe fare una remastered del gioco. Gran gioco su DS, inclusa la modalità in cui poter usare tantissimi ****, cosa unica nella saga. Storia, probabilmente, più struggente della saga! Un capolavoro.

I didn't play the game since it wasn't playable in the bundle but purely based on story I'd give this an 8/10 because it expands on Roxas and Xion's relationship as well as how they are both different versions of Sora, the storytelling was damn good and for that I'll give this an 8/10

best kingdom hearts game ever but im disapointment about the 1.5 its just a movie about this and not the game like huhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

This game introduced me to the KH series and it has an incredibly beautiful/inspiring story, I am very grateful that I was able to play this game. I was particularly impressed by the ending, Roxas vs Riku cinematic had amazing animation/graphic for a DS game, so good that you almost can't believe it.

Days is one of my favorite games of all time with a story that brings me to tears every time I replay it. It puts you right in the shoes of the character by making the gameplay feel like working a 9 to 5. The only bright spots being the cutscenes after each set of days allowing you to spend time with the central trio of characters. Whenever I think back on the game I know I had issues with the gameplay, but all I can remember is the characters and how much I grew to care for all of them.

Buena historia pero como juego es mediocre, no me sorprende que en la colección hd lo redujeran a una semi-pelicula

Es un magnífico juego, es mi juego favorito, no doy mi opinión, porque darla aqui seria hacer una biblia cosa que nadie leerá. No es un juego que sea muy bueno a nivel gameplay o de misiones, pero tiene por lo menos para mi la mejor historia de kh. Demasiado triste que siempre me hara llora. Suelo sacarme unas lágrimas siempre que juego. En la 2 cuando a sora se le sale una lágrima cuando se despide de seyfer y los otros en la estación de tren. Solo los verdaderos fan sabran porque sora suelta esa lágrima. De verdad kh 358 days es hermoso, y espero que le hagan un remake algun dia, asi el mundo sabra lo hermoso que es este juego.

This review may be based on nostalgia due to this being my first rpg game but there is such an unmistakable charm ti this game. When I rewatched the cutscenes I nearly cried. The combat is good but could be better yet the story and the charachters are immaculate a top 10 in my collection

Was alil confusing at 1st but I lowkey teared up at the end music was phenomenal!

Arcade RPG with very nice graphics but clumsy controls, a corny story and irritating music.

Best plot and characters development in the franchise. Didnt like the combat system and the missions.

I don't care what you say I love this game. Roxas' story is so tragic. Xion and Axel are interesting and the game is so different. The depressing melancholy as you know that everything comes to an end because of kh2, it's just so beautiful.

30/100 358/2 Days is most definitely the worst entry in the Kingdom Hearts series thus far, with painfully repetitive gameplay due to an extremely lacking combat system with very little depth, enemies with decent variety but repetitive, dull attack patterns and some abysmally boring missions. There are a handful of interesting ideas like making Magic and Abilities acquisition more of a resource management matter, giving the gameplay a somewhat strategic feel, but even that is implemented in such a way that it often becomes more of a chore than anything else. The story is enveloped in a charmingly melancholic, somber mood that elevates the beautifully poignant emotional struggle of the main characters, but the drama is severely held back by the tragedy not hitting as hard as it could've due to the friendship uniting the main characters feeling somewhat forced and underdeveloped.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is a lousy game with just as lousy of a title. This handheld spin-off is an overlong, repetitive slog with an uninteresting story focused on the blandest and most obnoxious group of characters from the Kingdom Hearts series -- Organization XIII.

One of the best KH games and has the best story of all imo. Best game on the DS. Unfortunately Days is the last masterpiece of Kingdom Hearts, started to be way too complex and anime after 2010. Pros: -Amazing music and story -Great characters and insights into KH -Amazing build up story wise, deep emotion -Can play multiplayer with friends, unlock more characters (Only KH game that has that) -Very challenging and alot of content, spend 150 hours on 1 save, which connects to Multiplayer as well. -Very rewarding to do everything, endless keyblades/weapons with different names for each character. The best customization in the series to date. Cons: -May be too repeative at times but nothing like BbS and the games after that. -Story being great, the new games kinda ruined it, so Days story is not as amazing anymore if you're thinking canon. Personally i look at games after Days to be spin-offs, even KH3. -Camera angle can be hard to manage and invisible walls are quite prevalent -It is a DS game so gameplay wise it can be repeative and tedious, the leveling design and some missions are dreadful at times.

This is definetly my favorite game in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, with a few stipulations. Everything works for the story its trying to tell, one of mundanity and the friends we have that make the boring parts of life worth living. Because of that the game itself is.. kinda boring. But in an intentional way, its such an interesting idea to me, and while boring the game is still fun, it looks absolutely beautiful, and I would rate 11/10 if I could

A pretty good game, with some of the best graphics on the DS, with amazing controls and all sorts of worlds from classic Disney franchises. The story is a little all over the place though.

For me personally 358/2 days has one of the best "sidestories" in the franchise. Concentrating on the relationship of a few characters and giving more insight on them and what was happening in the background of the story was really cool. It focuses on completely different characters than in the numbered games and has a bit more "mature" story. The gameplay, though being repetitive, is still enjoyable and if you consider the story, it makes sense, why it's repetitive. It's like meant to be repetitive :-P. A And the graphics and music are really great for a Nintendo DS title.

Although the story is my favorite and is the best in this whole series, the repetitive gameplay and the horrible graphics just lose the experience. Now I know why Square Enix didn’t fully remaster this one.

The gameplay wasn't fun at all and have to much repetitive mission but as the story keep going on, I believe it have the most sad story for KH game and I love the story of this one.

The history Is the best wrote of all games, making characters so memorables and a realistic story of that make you feel so sad The gameplay is good considering the limitations of the DS and the HUD is well made

Its a unique game, different from the rest of KH and still very good, it has a darker tone, it makes you care and feel for the protagonist as the game builds up. it has a very nice gameplay and allows you to play with a lot of charaters after the ending of the game. i personaly enjoied every moment of it and will revisit it soon.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Un buen juego con una historia interesante y aclaratoria sobre el pasado de Roxas.

As a kingdom hearts game this game is an absolutely awful experience to play. Not only does this game have the worst level-up, inventory, magic and accessory management, the disney characters are not tied to the story or gameplay at all. Just watch the movie. You'll be fine.

The best of the handheld games, this game fills in the blanks between KHI and KHII that COM didn't cover. Too bad it turned out to be nothing. Xion, Axel and Roxas' story is very touching and makes you feel even harder for Roxas in KHII. Being able to see more into the plans of Organization XIII is also telling and allows for a more in depth experience of the second game. This is worth the play, just dont be surprised when you find yourself wishing it wasn't 358 days

Mi puntación a Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days es de 10, me explico; La duración del juego es muy buena, la historia sobrepasa las 30 horas de largo ( 39h 04min, en mi caso ) para ser de NDS hay que tenerlo en cuenta. La jugabilidad es muy divertida como en todos los Kingdom Hearts ( cierto que no está al nivel del 2, Birth by sleep o el 3 ), hay que pensar que es un titulo de DS del 2009, no podemos pedirle peras al olmo. Una trama distinta a los demás títulos de la saga que profundiza en la relación con la Organización XIII y sus personajes, de los cuales destacamos a Roxas, Axel y Xion, ya que son el trío protagonista de la historia y en la que se centra gran parte del juego. El título contiene una historia muy emotiva y sentida con posiblemente el final más épico de la saga. El apartado sonoro, que decir, excelente. El visual es muy bueno para ser portátil de NDS. Le doy un 10 sobre 10 ( comparándolo con juegos de su plataforma, Nintendo DS ). Mi Treceava crítica u/o review.

It's not a bad game, for a DS standards it's very fun... But for the "Kingdom Hearts" series it's a pretty mediocre tittle. It's storytelling it's dull and uninspired, Tetsuya Nomura has great ideas for stories, but he's unable to tell those stories without stupid dialogue and Anime cliches. Although all this criticise, if we look at this game "objectively" it's good, it's job fine: It's fun, the story gives us some interesting details of Roxa´s life at the Organization XIII and the graphics are good for DS standards... But as a Kingdom Hearts lover I would have preferred a more complex game, not so damn repetitive and with less storytelling problems (Although nearly every Kingdom Hearts game has this last problem).

un saludo cait sith te kiero :y ¡Mis queridos compatriotas, hombres y mujeres alemanes! En la Biblia está escrito: "Lo que no es ni caliente ni frío lo quiero escupir de mi boca". Este frase del gran Nazareno ha conservado hasta el dia de hoy su honda validez. El que quiera deambular por el dorado camino del medio debe renunciar a la consecución de grandes y maximas metas. Hasta el dia de hoy los terminos medios y lo tibio también han seguido siendo la maldición de Alemania. La situación de nuestra patria, segun la condición geografica una de las mas desfavorables en Europa, fue comprendida en realidad por primera vez, por eldo prusiano, odiado, un rival en sentido espiritual y material para todos los pueblos circundantes, le quedo reservado a este pequeño estado modelo llegar a ser el adalid del pensamiento alemán hasta aquella unión de los troncos alemanes que en el fondo, a pesar de dos guerras ganadas, aun no era una union. Aun hoy somos el pueblo menos apreciado de la tierra. Un mundo de enemigos se alza contra nosotros y el alemán debe decidirse también hoy si quiere ser un soldado libre o un esclavo blanco. Las precondiciones bajo las cuales solo puede desenvolverse una estructura estatal alemana han de ser por dos los alemanes de europa, educación para la conciencia nacional y la disposición de poner todas las fuerzas nacionales enteramente al servicio de la nacion. Estas, solamente, son las condiciones fundamentales bajo las cuales podemos vivir en el corazon de europa. El anciano gigante de la vida estatal alemana, bismarck, ha mantenido totalmente esta linea directriz, y cuando él se fue vino el dominio de los terminos medios, de lo tibio. En lugar de representación de intereses patrios se hizo política dinástica, en lugar de política nacional, la internacionalizacion. Las palabras-impacto de "echar un puente entre todos los antagonismos", de fraternización, de tregua y otras similares minaron la fuerza del pueblo alemán hacia adentro y hacia afuera. La judaización fue la consecuencia inmediata de esta política tibia, la judaización de la nación alemana, porque el judío no renuncia a su propia nacionalidad. Industrialización, conquista económica pacifica del mundo fueron otros objetivos, segun los cuales se procedio, sin tener en cuenta que no existe ninguna política económica sin espada, ninguna industrialización sin poder. Hoy no tenemos ya una espada en el puño, ¿Donde tenemos entonces una política económica existosa? Inglaterra ha reconocido muy bien este primer principio de la vida estatal, de la salud estatal, y actua desde hace siglos de acuerdo al fundamento de convertir fuerza económica en poder politico, y el poder politico debe a su vez, a la inversa, proteger la vida economica. El instinto de conservación del estado puede construir una economia; pero nosotros quisimos conservar la paz mundial en lugar de defender con la espada los intereses de la nación, la vida económica de la nación, y de abogar sin consideraciones por las condiciones de vida del pueblo. Y en esto participan por igual todos los partidos del actual parlamentarismo. Los democratas quieren salvar la democracia aunque Alemania sucumba por ello. Por la democracia afirma el democrata que quiere morir, por lo general nunca se llega tan lejos. Una enormidad seria para él si la democracia sucumbiera. En la práctica se desarrollo, gracias a esta idea que conduce a la paralización del pueblo, el dominio de la bolsa y de los manejos bursátiles. El centro representa la idea de la solidaridad de un determinado credo. Otros pueblos, por fanáticamente que piensen y actuen de acuerdo a los principios de su credo, son en primer término hijos de su pueblo y recién después abogan por una confesión determinada. La socialdemocracia representa intereses político-mundiales; pero un proceder conjunto con los trabajadores de todo el mundo, por cierto, solo es posible en base a un mutuo respeto y posición de igualdad. El alemán debe ser en primer termino un aleman, asi como el inglés es un inglés, si quiere ganarse el respeto de los otros; y este respeto existe hoy en dia menos que nunca. No se trata de si el obrero alemán se declara solidario con los obreros de otros paises, sino si el obrero de otros paises quiere declararse solidario con el obrero alemán. Por lo demas el pueblo alemán no queria ser internacionalista. El mejor corazon del alemán dejo ir a la guerra hace nueve años a incontados millones entusiastamente, y hoy los obreros de essen, cuando ametralladoras francesas tabletearon en aquel funesto sabado dentro de sus filas, no fijaron su mirada en la solidaridad internacional, sino sobre Alemania y sobre aquel dia que alguna vez llegara a ser el dia de la venganza. Debido a la mediocridad y debilidad de los partidos parlamentarios sobrevino, logicamente, la mediocridad de los gobiernos. De esta manera, a partir del momento en

El mejor action rpg que he jugado en la ds, no jugaremos con sora, pero el juego es increíble.

One of the most beautiful games in terms of the story and the way to play and even drawings to Jaya Disney, but I congratulate Square and Disney on this project

This game is my personal favorite entry of the Kingdom Hearts series, as well as one of my favorite Nintendo DS games. But I can personally see why so many people consider this the worst of the series. The story is very slow paced most of the time, the missions are repetitive, and the gameplay may seem a bit simplistic due to the limitations on the DS at the time. (Luckily Re:coded fixed this problem.) But when the story gets going, it gets going! This game features one of the absolute best stories the series has given us. Showing the emotional bond of Roxas, Axel, and new character Xion, as well as their growth as both characters and people throughout Roxas' days with Organization XIII leading up to the events of Kingdom Hearts 2. And while the gameplay may be repetitive and simplistic, it does have its perks. I like the panel system a lot and trying out different combinations and keyblades, the high dosages of nostalgia I get when visiting worlds from Beauty and the Beast and Nightmare Before Christmas that also help tie up to KH2, and some of the bosses such as the Antlion and Imperial Machine I did have a good amount of fun with. (Just don't be so excited about bosses like Leechgrave and Ruler of the Sky though.) But the real highlight of this game is the Mission Mode, where you get to play as all members of Organization XIII, plus Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and Mickey (who is my main, btw). Playing through old missions with different characters with their own weapons and styles I massively enjoy, even if the missions are repetitive. I just like testing different characters and see which ones I'm most comfortable with for certain missions. Plus, multiplayer is always fun too. Overall, is this the best KH game ever? No. Is it the best DS game ever? No. But can the game be really fun at times? Yes. If you're looking for one of the best stories in KH history, (even if it's slow-paced) get this game now. But again, if slow-paced stories aren't your thing and you're just in to play as your favorite member of Organization XIII, this game will definitely be worth your time.

Really underrated kingdom hearts game. It's one of my favourites, and also had a beautiful story

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

The best game ever I've ever seen, for Nintendo DS. Actually, story is extremely sad, but I still enjoyed the game. Graphics do not basically matter. The story, gameplay and combat is great. This game is fascinating, fantastic, it beats any Nintendo DS game. We all thank Square Enix for making such a wonderful game.

I did not like this game. I LOVE Kingdom Hearts 1, I even really like Kingdom Hearts II quite a bit but I did not care enough about Roxas to have an entire game about him. Of course, when I figured out this game WAS about him I was thoroughly disappointed and very much annoyed. I honestly didn't care about Roxas... at all much less enough to make a whole game about him. The controls were awkward and I just.... didn't care AT ALL about the story nor did I get a reason to throughout the game. It's just bleh. The graphics are up to par and so is the music but neither of those saving graces are good enough to make the game worthwhile...

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Probably kingdom hearts 358/2 days is one of the best games made ​​for the Nintendo DS. The plot is well done and moving, solid gameplay and really fun and great to be technically done for DS. The only flaw is that there is a wide variety of worlds but for the rest is done really well. Fans of the series will appreciate it very much.

If you know the KH story or have played other titles in the franchise, you will want to play or at least watch a play through of it. The story for 358/2 Days explains the events that occur between the first game and part 2. I gave it 2 of it;s points just for that. However, I did not give it many more because of the presentation of the story. It felt chopped up and crude. It was frustrating how you had your Kingdom Hearts story line, then the distracting Disney story lines that chopped it all up. The conversations were a little crude at times as well. It is a great game though for, really, anyone. Roxas' story is a sad, heart breaking, and also very romantic. All you need to get into this games story is to know a little about the first game. The controls were descent for a DS game, but I felt they where over stretching the limits a little. So to sum all that up, good for Disney fans, KH fans, and somewhat hard core gamers.

A technically impressive game but not the most fun. The game focuses on events before kingdom hearts 2 with you playing as Roxas. The story has some good points particularly near the end but overall it just didn't interest me that much. It was nice to develop the characters of organization XIII more but it just felt unnecessary and uninteresting. The combat is all well and good except the DS's lack of buttons means we get the terrible camera controls from KH 1. Also the difficulty spikes return as well and come literally out of nowhere. Also the game adds nothing new with the same locations as in kingdom hearts 2 and no new characters except Xion who confuses the plot even more than it already was.

The saddest part of the kh's story. Of course it's not even near the level of the ps2 titles and I expected a bit more from the graphics, but I still enjoyed it 'cause it's freaking kh.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Flaws: it's heavily combat-focused, and it gets really repetitive over the course of the 30 hour campaign; the story-telling isn't too stellar (poor pacing and not much feeling of the player advancing the plot); and the camera is really annoying, as you'd expect in most 3D DS games. The worst example of the last flaw came with one giant flying boss fight where the target continually moved, had lots of health, and really powerful attacks, which was all the more frustrating in that most magic attacks need perfect aiming, and when you attack with your Keyblade you stay in one spot, so the target's moved after the first hit. Good points: I actually got really into the story and these characters, even if they weren't the deepest or most complex out there. The only reason I persevered through the aforementioned annoying boss-fight was because I wanted to see how the story ended, and I'm glad I did. Also, while repetitive and frequently frustrating, the combat still had just enough satisfaction and fun to it to keep going. I also quite liked the panel system they implemented for switching between different weapons, magic attacks, items, and perks. The extra modes were quite interesting too, in which you can play through previous levels with one of over a dozen different characters, including other Organisation members, Donald, and Goofy. Overall, I found it good, but not great. It was interesting enough for me to see it through to the end, but you'll likely find it incredibly repetitive and more than a bit frustrating.

This installment of Kingdom Hearts was a unique experience. Granted, I've seen better, but this isn't that bad ****. Unique multiplayer characters, each with their own unique weapons and fighting styles, somewhat make-up for a rather slow story. The dialogue frequently makes you want to skip, but at the same time you will miss the story if you do.

This is a decent game. The gameplay is the same as kingdom hearts(More or less). The story is good. The voice acting, of whats there, is pretty good. Also, the boss fights offer a decent challenge some of the time. Graphically, this game is one of the best on the D.S. The slot system is interesting but can be a real pain. The multiplayer is somewhat fun but some of the characters you unlock are downright terrible. Still, 358/2 is a decent game.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is a remarkable experience you don't want to miss out on. If is very emotional and all the characters pull you in. The 3D worlds are an incredible feat for the DS to handle. It is quite impressive how Square Enix managed to scale down the PS2 worlds onto the DS. The gameplay is just like how it was. Real time fighting with an RPG menu on your side. Through out the game, you take out on missions to do certain tasks. The tasks range from defeating an enemy to investigating a world. You should get this masterpiece for your DS, it is really fun and it has an excellent story to back it up.
