The World Ends With You - Done!

I finished 'The Worlds Ends With You' last night and massively enjoyed my time with it. Seriously recommended to any DS owners who have yet to try it. A fairly steep learning curve but once it clicks you'll find one of the most interesting, different and above all entertaining action-RPG's available.
The story follows Neku who wakes up in Shibuya to find his memories gone, a timer on his hand, and himself invisable to the people around him. Stuck in the limbo between life and death, Neku must partner up with other players who have shared his fate and compete in challenges set by the mysterious "Reapers" to try and win another chance at life or face erasure. Battles take place over both DS screens with Neku being controlled on the bottom with the stylus and your partner being controlled on the top-screen by the D-Pad. Sound confusing? It is at first, and you feel like you'll never manage to follow action on 2 screens at once, but you do, and it's brilliant.

Left:The battles will make your head spin at first but you'll get there
Right: Neku, Joshua, Shiki, Beat and Rhyme. You'll like these guys...well maybe not the lad in the skull hat, he's a bit of a nob who says "yo" a lot.
