 Trust me, it's more than 7 days July 11, 2008

I actually have been seeing this game around lately and found it Square Enix. Now, when have you EVER heard that Square Enix makes crap? So, I bought the game with my last remaining money and have been playing it lately after my surgery.
I was actually getting scared at first since it said 7 days and how fast I was going through the missions thinking that this game wasn't worth my $40 but then come to realize that you go through more than just 7 days making the game more enjoyable(and worth my money I might add). This game is very enjoyable but can get a bit complicated and a bit confusing but as long as you practice your fights and techniques you'll get the hang of it and love it! The characters are very interesting to hear from and have style to their personalities. I am also glad they have close moments between each character that makes it even more fun to play and read. I recommend this game for at least teenagers, like I said before, it might get confusing to some younger kids and get them frustrated but don't lose hope. Just KEEP PRACTICING and you'll get it, I promise. You may not do so good in your first few battles but you'll improve the more you use the same pins you collected. I wish you good luck and hope you enjoy it! I sure have!

i cannot add much to the other well written opinions. if you haven't played this through past the credits, you have missed the best part of the game. i cannot recommend this game enough. (not for young players) i love the back story, and the extra day you get past the credits. this has to be the best all round game made for any platform, and i would not be surprised to see it be turned into a movie.
My son was pleased with this purchase June 28, 2008

My son asked me to order this for him. He says he likes it and it is fun. There isn't anything he does not like about it.

A lot has been said about the difficulty of this game, but I actually think that Square has done an amazing job making the game as user friendly as possible. The game is only as deep as you want it to be, rewarding harcore players while not scaring off more casual players; an amazing tightrope walk.
The game is in fact very very easy if you play it as at your maxed out level on Normal. What is interesting is that you can change the difficulty and your level at will, making it only as hard as you want it to be. You get rewarded for playing it harder, of course, but the game really seems to want everyone to enjoy it and it doesn't feel like it's just punishing you for no reason (like a lot of japanese RPGs). Also your weapons level up when you're NOT playing the game! I know i've put down many RPGs and never came back to them because they were either too hard, or I thought I had forgotten the intricacies of the battle system. The game actually encourages short play sessions and makes you a little stronger every time you come back, which is brilliant I think.
Overall I hope that this is future of RPGs (and not FF12 which is barely a game at all) and it proves that Nintendo is the true home of innovative game mechanics.
OUTSTANDING for *any* Gamer even this middle age Mom! June 22, 2008

I won't rehash all that has been said previously about this game in the other reviews. Simply put: This is the best game I've ever played on the DS. It ranks right up in the Top 3 I've ever played.
I am mainly writing this review for all you casual gamers out there. This game walks you through the steps and actually teaches you what to do PLUS you get practice time. One of my big issues with games is the frustration level since you don't know what to do or where to do it. I bought a DS and a Wii as a way to play more with my kids, since they prefer video over board games (board games are what I grew up with). In an effort to spend some more time with them doing things *they* like to do I started playing the DS. We have found a few Wii games but the majority are only so-so. I was very worried that the DS would have the same problem but we've found quite a few excellent games that really are varied. I have to say this 40+ year old mom has a new love.
Back to the game: I cannot express how awesome this game is. As a FIRST TIME RPG/Action player I have had no problem picking up all the skills needed to play. It is varied and has many options for difficulty. In fact (much to my surprise!) I have been doing much of the game at all 3 levels in order to collect the most pins and level them up.
For any type of gamer I highly recommend TWEWY. I can only hope they make a sequel.
