Has, uh, anyone played this RPG called The World Ends With You? A brief description:

Quote:
The game takes place in a fictional version of the Shibuya shopping district in Tokyo, Japan. While everyday life goes on in the Realground (RG), the chosen dead are brought to an alternate plane of existence called the Underground (UG). The UG is also the venue for the Reapers' Game. By offering their most treasured possession to enter the Game, the dead (players) gain the chance to contest for the prize: to be brought back to life or to transcend to a higher form of spiritual existence. Most of those who choose to transcend become Reapers, the opponents of players in future Games. Lasting a week, each Game is a contest to judge the worth of humanity. Players set out to accomplish objectives under the rules created by the Composer, who is a god-like entity who maintains Shibuya. Another Reaper, the Conductor, tasks other Reapers to obstruct the players' efforts. Failure to complete a mission will disperse the mind and spirit of the player or Reaper, thus erasing his or her existence.


It's an excellent game; the controls are fluid, the artwork is very vibrant- I can't think of ANYTHING wrong with this game!

I own the ROM, but I barely played it. It seems to be a very good game, but I was playing Apollo Justice and Super Scribblenauts back then. Now, I have been away from video games for a few months, for some reason. Maybe I should play The World Ends With You, The Last Story and Sonic Chronicles.

Sorry for this terrible joke, by the way.

I own and have fully beaten both the DS and iPhone versions. I also made a topic about TWEWY a while ago. The game is incredible, and by far the best DS RPG ever created.
