Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance for Nintendo 3DS Reviews by Gamers

Just to get it out of the way, I am a big Kingdom Hearts fan. I've at least tried out every single game in the series, and I can assure you this isnt one to pass up. Going into this game, I had pretty low expectations. The other two Kingdom Hearts games on a Nintendo handheld were pretty lackluster. They conveluded the story even more and in total were both just messes, but that's another review. One the subject of KH:3D, its a very good game. The story is fairly simple. (can't beleive I just said that.) Sora and Riku are going through the Mark of Mastery Exam in order to become true Keyblade Masters. In order to complete this large quest, our hereos must awaken seven sleeping worlds from Dream Eaters, this games main enemies. Now because Donald and Goofy aren't here to help you, you have good Dream Eaters known as spirits to help you. Now here comes big change number 1, the Spirits. This in my opinion is a high point in this game. It adds a lot customizible features to an already good game. There are tons of spirits to choose from and you can have a different experience each time you play. My favorites are Lord Kyroo and Aura Lion. You can also feed spirits to raise their stats, play with them to give them experience and Link Points, ( Which I'll talk about in a second) and even change their color. These spirits arent only allies in battle, they're gateways to new abilities. Yeah you can play with your spirit's attacks and stats, but a feature called the Ability Link can change Sora and Riku's attacks and stats. The more Link Points a spirit has, the more attacks and spells your character can have. For example, my Yoggy Ram (A spirit in the game) gave me the attack Fire Windmill and the spell Firaga. Big change number 2 is the Drop function in the game. In order to play as both Sora and Riku, theres a drop meter that'll cut you loose. It'll take a bit of getting used to, but its a fun addition in the end. In a nutshell, this game is worth picking up, take my word!
