Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - Sony PSP

Got this on Christmas of 2012. I didnt have an SD card for my then-new psp at the time, so I actually never got past the first part of the game, which is crazy considering how long this game has been sitting in my room (7 years??) but Ill always remember the excitement I had for it, how nostalgic I felt (and still feel) and how mesmerizing it was to see the graphics. Overall, its an amazing and memorable game that I hope I will finally finish playing one day. I have an SD card now but my PSPs charger has been missing for years, so I guess the wait isnt over yet lol. Great game, great graphics for its time, ingeniously crafted story arch, lovable characters, and a must-play among the series greatest sequels since KH1 & 2.

Im very pleased I have this game in my hands finally cause Im a die hard Kingdom Hearts and I would wanna collect all of em even if theyre in different platforms. Now if your a Die hard fan to then. This game will fit into your collection I kinda liked the Command deck feature cause it makes customizing more easier. Im glad that the Command Deck Feature is also on Drop Dream Distance.

I have never played a Kingdom Hearts game, as I do not own a PS2, backwards compatible PS3, or NDS. However, when I saw this game was coming out I was captivated. I purchased it recently, and am playing it now. I love the story telling, and the ability to play through the game as each of the three main characters (each with their own storyline). The concept of an RPG with Disney characters is genius. The gameplay is simple and the boss battles are enjoyable. I love the way that each boss is representative of its respective world/disney story/universe. The game is challenging, yet ultimately very worthwhile.

If youre a Kingdom Hearts fan you will love this game.Had lots of fun playing it.Its everything youd expect out of the series. With a few added features that are pretty cool such as the Command Decks,Meld Commands and D-Link, Command Board,Mini Games,and the Mirage Arena where you can battle waves of enemys alone or with a friend via system link (Or online if you can find anyone)making the game very familiar and different.Best thing about it is that you can play through the whole game with 3 different characters so each character has different outcomes. Overall Its a good game and lives up to the other KH games.

This game is really fun, and is not a disappointment. Its one of the better games on the psp, and the graphics are really good.If u enjoyed kingdom hearts 2, then this game is worth the buy cause the gameplay is pretty much the same thing. I cant think of any negatives to this game, other than not liking some of the characters but thats just a personal opinion. I just wish Square Enix will make a kingdom hearts 3 soon and lessen the side stories games.

Im going to try to make this short and simple. Gameplay/Controls: If you have ever played Kingdom Hearts and its sequel, then you may know how it works when you start, except for the Command Deck for your abilities. There are also some mini-games that can be played with other people that have the game localy. The controls are kind of the same, except for the lack of a second analog for the camera,(using L and R for camera), but you might not seem to care because the controls are pretty good for the PSP. Story: The story is suppose to take place before the first Kingdom Hearts game, so your not missing anything if your new to the series. The story involves 3 characters in the game, so theres some replayability to know the full story. Difficulty: The difficulty is pretty fair. Not too easy, not too hard, but dont take my word for it, I havent played past hard yet. In conclusion: If you want to play a fun game, then get this game, just make sure you have at least maybe 700mb of free space to install the game,(load times are long).

I wouldnt consider myself a gamer. Sure, I have a PS2 at home with a dozen or so games acquired by my dad, but many of them have hardly been touched since weve bought them and are just collecting dust on one of our shelves. Most of these are sports games too, or car racing games for my brother, and - dont get me wrong, he loves them, but it gets kind of boring when you play the same thing over and over again. So none of us are avid gamers. That all changed when we got the first Kingdom Hearts game. For a person who had never heard of Final Fantasy or other RPG games before, it was mind-blowing. The graphics were amazing, the storyline was engaging and original, and overall, it was just plain fun. Its also the only game that my brother and I are willing to play over and over and over again, because the story never gets old. The sequels only get better from there, and Birth By Sleep is no exception. Technically, the game is regarded as Kingdom Hearts 0, since its story precedes the first game, but whatever. Its slightly different from the original in that it has better camera control and reaction commands (triggered by the triangle button), which carry over from the gameplay from Kingdom Hearts II, but in all honesty, that makes it much, much better (and a lot more fun). Reaction commands in particular change up the way your character fight, and it adds a lot more dimension to the battle so that you arent just doing a three-hit combo every time, which is what the original game offered. And the camera fix was a big plus, since its now near impossible to have your view obscured by some obstacle during battle (believe me, this can get really frustrating). Theres also the added bonus that one of the main characters (Ventus) looks like Roxas. If youve followed the series, youll know that Roxas shows up in Kingdom Hearts II as a playable character only in the beginning, and there were a ton of fans who wished he stayed that way. Although they arent the same people, playing as Ventus does alleviate this desire a bit. All in all, its a great buy, and Id recommend the game to anyone, even if they havent played anything else in the series before. The thing is, its fairly long, so just make sure youve got time for all of it.

This is a brilliant prequel to what will be one of most well known video game crossovers of all time. Beautiful graphics, the PSP shines like the PS2. True sceneries could be played with more but for the PSP Im massively impressed. The story is absolutely heartbreaking, and incredibly dramatic. A perfect tie in to Kingdom Hearts, while also setting up potential storylines for KH3(whenever that decides to be announced). I despised 356/2 days, absolutely loathed it this is such a breathe of fresh air. True its a hack and slash but there are so many minigames and story to tell its just a fantastic experience. The gameplay like any Kingdom Hearts game is the typical God of War hack and slash with reaction commands every now and then. I like how they added D links and I LOVE the new combat system, its very enjoyable. The one problem with the gameplay is the camera mode, they fixed the problem in KH2 but it came back in this one, granted it does not really effect the game play but when your trying to fight the boss and it locks on to a crate it can kind of make or break you. Which now leads me to difficulty, this game is HARD. It is very challenging especially on Proud Mode, I underestimated the level of difficulty. It seems all those fans that complained about how easy KH 2 was can breathe a fresh air because BBS especially on proud mode is HARD. I think I died 6 times in the Sleeping Beauty world, very difficult. This game is well worth the money, well worth the wait and an incredible experience. 5/5 easily, I hope I helped. The 1 star review for this amazing game is just a huge hell no.

I hope you are patient enough to sit through the load times. There are sections where you can watch a cut scene, move a step or two, then wait...and wait...and wait (sometimes as long as 35 seconds, Ive time it). I agree with other reviews that the graphics are beautiful, the story is good, the concept of playing through the game as three characters is intriguing. When I play a game, I want to play the game, not sit through grueling load times. I understand that with such well defined and detailed graphics that it is going to take time to load the next scene, but I really just want to get on with it and play.

This game, although still fun, brings a new fighting style that is a lot more challenging....it has a Final Fantasy reminiscent fighting style now, and its not as easy to get through as the first two games were.
