Title
For the most part, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this entry in the series. The mission system makes it clear that this was meant to be played in short bursts, but in terms of carrying the kind of experience from the mainline games over to the DS, it does a pretty damn good job. And even if it ends up just adding more fuel to the fire known as the series' narrative with things like Xion, I ended up being quite fond of this as a side-story.

With that being said, there are two big elephants in the room for me in regards to this:
1. Whoever thought that the level-up system in this game was a good idea needs to be fired (or at least get demoted to being a janitor).
2. The Emerald Serenade might be the worst enemy I've encountered in any game period. Or if not the worst, at least the most obnoxious. If you've played any of the later Wonderland missions, you know what I'm talking about.

Other than that, it's good. Though I also have a giant soft spot for Chain of Memories, so maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt if you never liked that.

With that having been said, I would recommend reading the manga adaptation of this game over playing it. Not only do you not have to deal with the flaws of the game, but the extra content added in for the worlds is pretty fun (and surprisingly great in Neverland's case: Peter Pan leaving around maps to give Captain Hook a reason to live is a lot better than Pete's "HAHA I'll just make Hook's greed rise so I can get some good Heartless!" in the game). It's just a great alternate take on this IMO, and I'd recommend it over even watching the cutscenes in the HD collections (though you do miss out on the soundtrack).

    10 year old me cried at the end of the game, thus making me a Kingdom Hearts fan.

    An unbelievably good story with some of the worst gameplay that I've ever encountered.

    it means 358 days over 2 characters, which is what the game is about. title sucks doodoo like most of the series lmao. this game has made me fall asleep not once, but twice, and i feel no need to ever revisit it again, which is a shame because the story for the most part is enjoyable, but xion as a character is so pointless in existing. love everything about axel and roxas and their relationship, though

    3d games on the DS were so painful to play for the most part. Honestly some of the worst looking games ever and controlling a 3d character with a dpad feels like absolute shit. action combat never felt good either. It was so rough for me to try and switch from some beautiful 2d games like pokemon to something like this.
