Elder-Geek.com: With games on both the Playstation 2 and the DS, the Kingdom Hearts franchise now moves onto another system, the Playstation Portable. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is a prequel to the series. It follows three new characters trying to find each other across many different worlds based on various Disney films, and boasts an updated battle system and a few other new features that set it apart from the other games in the series. Most importantly, I was happy to see that Birth by Sleep went back to a free roaming style of game play, rather than a mission based one.
One of the strongest genres that the PSP had to offer would have to be RPGs. The PS1 and PS2 both had strong RPG libraries, so it’s not a huge surprise that the PSP picked up the baton with some real bangers.
Overall, Birth By Sleep is an important slice of the Kingdom Hearts series, and shouldn’t be missed out on if you’re looking to get into the series. Granted, some of the features and moment-to-moment gameplay is lost when it transitioned from the PSP to modern consoles. But nonetheless, one can’t deny its overall importance to the story and the impact of its mechanics and systems to the series overall.
i like it, but its just too much "friendships are the key to our power" bs.
don't get me started on them minigames lol
i think the game had tremendous potential for essential online gaming and other things. but they didnt do a whole lot with it in the remaster.
i would, however, consider it to be one of the harder games in the series, which is good
What makes Birth by Sleep’s story so engrossing isn’t that it's as a prequel, It’s the fact that it’s emotionally charged and mature.
