Put an emo kid and a freakishly hyper girl in a near death situation and you get this! One of the best RPGs ever!
The World Ends With You is a delightfully refreshing RPG! Square Enix actually made a winner with this. Take time off from your pure fantasy games and enter the world of Shibuya, Japan, which is an actual place! The dark plot is thrilling and actually keeps you guessing. And -gasp- the gameplay is actually fun! It reminds me a little of a mixture between fight style games and Dance Dance Revolution. While it has a dark story, the only reason it's rated T is for language, which appears frequently. It does contain d***, a**, and even b**** at points. But teenagers should be able to handle this. :3 Overall, I'd recommend this game to every teenager, especially those that love Japanese things.
This game is simply a must play. I don't mean because of gameplay, but because of story. This game has the best story out of any game I've ever played (which is saying a lot). This game is pure proof that video games are fully capable of telling stories as well as books. Language however, is definitely an issue. There is a lot of swearing and rude dialogue in this game, but as much as I hate to say it, it really needs to be there because it helps make the characters seem real. It would be kind of odd if characters like "Beat" didn't swear. As long as you let your child know somehow that swearing is wrong, let them, actually make them play this. There are a lot of lessons that could be learned from the story of this game. Buying your child this game even though it has swearing is the equivalent of a teacher giving their young students a book with strong language.
The World Ends With You has some of the best music soundtracks for a video game that I've ever. I wouldn't recommend this to younger players though because of suggestive language throughout the game.
The World Ends with you is a must have for any gamer. It's made by Square Enix, the same people who made Kingdom Hearts and is basically Kingdom Hearts for teens. It's an amazing game with lots of plot, character development, and choices. The only issue might be the occasional cuss word (but none too bad)
One of the best stories you'll find on the DS- with exceptional gameplay as well!
The title says it all- this game is the only piece of literature that I could ever predict, but the gameplay will be confusing to people who can't multi-task.
All in all, this is one game that all teens should play. The story is as dark and deep as the pacific ocean, which may make younger kids scared.
I loved this game so much I could cry. I don't see anything that would keep anyone from playing, it's not a trashy game. Only a few swear words are thrown though.

Parents may not want their kids exposed to playing as a psychic.
Neku sometimes can " hear them inside his brain" and some parents may take that as demonically...on the other hand, engaging gameplay and double combat takes this game to a new level. Although you may need six eyes to become really good at this.....
My faviorite game ever! Theres not much controversial material. the only thing I can think of is in another day when theres a "missunderstanding" with Joshua and Neku, but aside from that, it's the best ten bucks I ever spent.
This is a must-buy for any gamers in your life looking for a good story and exciting gameplay.
This game is one of my absolute favorites. The combat and art style are stylish and absolutely gorgeous, the story is gripping, and the cast is full of complex, well-developed characters. I think that what shocked me the most about this game is that it takes the cliché of an amnesia-ridden JRPG hero and makes a genuinely interesting and sympathetic character out of it. The story also talks about various landmarks around Shibuya, and to my surprise, uses realistic slang. Regarding violence, it should be noted that the Noise aren't actually sentient - they're born from negative emotions and exist only to multiply and feed off of others, so it basically benefits everyone to wipe them out. However, you WILL be fighting Reapers, who are human, sentient, and not always evil. Also, while Neku himself is very cynical at the start of the story, the overall tone of the game is very uplifting - "The World Ends With You" isn't about the world ending; it means that the world is what you make of it, and you need to expand your world if you want to enjoy life.
