The World Ends With You is een Action RPG game voor op de DS, ontwikkeld door het team van Square Enix dat ook Kingdom Hearts heeft uitgebracht.
Korte beschrijving in het Engels, omdat ik te lui ben om het te vertalen. :'D
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.
A player in the UG is invisible to the living in the RG, though one can sometimes read and influence their thoughts. The UG is frequented by creatures called "Noise", which are attracted by the negative feelings of the living. To progress in the Reapers' Game, players are often required to defeat Noise by killing or "erasing" them. However, each Noise exists in two "zones" simultaneously, and can only be defeated by two players fighting the Noise from separate zones; Players are therefore required to form a pact with another player to survive the Noise. Players receive assignments via text messages sent to their cell phones, and their right hands are imprinted with a countdown indicating the time left in the mission. After a day's mission is complete, the remaining players find themselves at the start of the next day's mission, having no sense of the intervening time in between.
Ik ben zelf totaal geen gamer, mede doordat ik alleen maar een DS heb en nooit echt de moeite doe om op zoek te gaan naar leuke games. Maar toen kwam ik dit spel dus tegen, heb het gedownload en nu ben ik er helemaal weg van. ^^ Ik heb het nog lang niet uitgespeeld, maar tot nu toe vind ik het echt heel erg tof.
En nu vraag ik me af, zijn er meer fans van deze game? Zo ja, wat vonden jullie er zo goed aan? Hebben jullie nog favoriete personages? Kortom: dump hier alles over deze game wat je maar kwijt wil! *O*
