Shock Value: The World Ends With You

[Shock Value is a monthly segment which runs down inexpensive titles that are more than worth the money spent.]

I was in search of a quality cheap thrill quite some time ago when our very own Editor Chad Awkerman mentioned a quaint little DS JRPG called The World Ends With You. Of course I’d heard of the game – it was from Square-Enix (who at one time was my absolute favorite developer) and critically acclaimed. So, I stopped resisting and went to grab the game, feeling completely embarrassed about being four years late to the party.

Boy am I glad I did. From the first fifteen minutes to the second dozen hours, The World Ends With You is wonderful.

Fantastic game, nothing else like it, super addicting and tons of content.

Hope there's a 3DS sequel eventually.
