Synopsis

Synopsis
From the streets of Agrabah to Port Royal and Beast's Castle, every world you've trekked, obstacle you've surmounted and secret you've uncovered has led up to this point. King Mickey's kingdom hurtles quickly toward the impending doom that's been feared for so long. As the Kingdom Hearts saga races toward its climactic conclusion, King Mickey summons you to the ultimate test — one that could very well be your last. Reunite with Sora and Riku on a bold endeavor to complete the daunting Mark of Mastery exam and fulfill your destiny as a true Keyblade Master. You must surmount the insurmountable — or see the demise of an entire Kingdom.

Since 2002, Kingdom Hearts has redefined the Disney universe — and the landscape of the role-playing genre — as it led you through lands beyond your imagination and across gaming platforms. Now, for the first time, the adventure explodes into a new dimension on the Nintendo 3DS. Developed exclusively for the revolutionary new gaming system, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance immerses you in never-before-seen Dream Worlds, where deadly enemies, powerful allies and towering new challenges await. Step into the shoes of Sora and Riku like never before, as the beloved characters are newly revived and optimized in 3D. Battle gruesome new creatures, known only as Nightmares, using the swift, seamless movements of the renovated free-flow gameplay. Recruit mystical Spirits to help you along the way as you unfurl new re-imaginings of iconic Disney worlds, from La Cité des Cloches, a city based on The Hunchback of Notre Dame, to TRON: Legacy's The Grid. Challenge other players to Flick Rush matches, or use StreetPass to trade Link Portals and set up special combat challenges or loan Spirits to other players. Prepare for a quest no movie could prepare you for as incredible magic, danger and realism collide.

Continuation of a great series
4
Posted by: from on 05/15/2013This is an interesting game. I will say this, If you have not played Birth By Sleep or any of the previous titles on the DS, you might have a hard time understating the storyline of this game. Even though the game does give you a background information on previous titles, it will really help if you recently played the previous titles. Aside with my issues with the storyline, the gameplay is quite addictive. You play as both Sora & Riku in each world one at a time. The free-flow gameplay adds a more interesting twist & allows you to reach up higher areas very quickly after you have gotten used to it & adds powerful finishers whenever you execute it while battling heartless. The new feature of recruiting monsters and making them you partner while they fight with you is a very nice touch & makes it more of a customizable gameplay with each creature you obtain and level up. If you have been waiting for Kingdom Hearts III, make sure to pick up this game due to being the main background of the storyline of what is to come in KHIII. RECOMMENDED

Great Game, better than the first one
4
Posted by: from Laguna Hills, CA on 05/03/2013this is a pretty surreal Game. The gameplay is much easier than the first one. I'm glad to see that the developers chose to make it more user friendly, but it could have been a bit more challenging. The gameplay is improved. The graphics are awesome, great fighting scenarios, and a nice new worlds like Steamboat Willie. The only thing I don't like is that the it is little too easy, and a little too long to get into gameplay. Too much talking, and not enough fighting. Otherwise, I enjoyed the game very much, but most importantly my young nephews were able to play it and enjoy it.
