“Birth by Sleep serves as an origin game for the Xehanort saga of the Kingdom Hearts universe, and answers many questions about the previously released games. The gameplay is essentially similar to the core games of the series, but includes new elements such as commands, shotlocks, much more extensive minigames (mirage arena and command board), and more. Square Enix upped the ante on this one giving you the ability to play the story with three different characters, all experiencing the effects of the other characters on the worlds that they visit. This game is an essential for any Kingdom Hearts fan.”

“Excellent game. It played, looked, and felt like the PS2 versions in the palm of my hand. You got three stories rolled into one game and a fourth bonus story if you're willing to work for it or play the game on a harder setting. All in all it's a good amount of game for your money spent and the controls were the best they could do on a portable one analog stick system. Music, voice acting, and appeal to me were pretty high up there. Having to start over at level 1 three times in a row got kind of annoying...”

“The BEST Kingdom Hearts game I ever played!
The gameplay (the battle system actually) is the best one yet I encountered in video games. Unlike Kingdom Hearts 2 where you mostly spent time tapping X repeatedly, here you will have a deck that will contain actions and magic you'll perform while battling the evil creatures known as 'Unversed'. The game has a strong balance in between just tapping the X button on your PSP and searching through your deck to use the appropriate command for appropriate situation.
The story is good, although somewhat confusing at the start of the game, but still its good enough that it makes you pay attention to it.

Only downside of the game I have is that bosses (with exception of two secret ones) aren't really challenging. I mean I spend like 3 minutes maximum just defeating one.

All-in-all, with adding and subtracting, this game gets a well-deserved 5/5.”
