Dana from Gamenorth.ca, a Canadian game site, shares her review of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for the PSP.
From the review:
"Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep sits in a strange place. The kind of strange, awkward place that comes from being a game that could have possibly been so much more, but falls just a little bit short of the mark. The PSP title is a prequel to the original title for the PlayStation 2, and as such would probably mark a good place to start for those who aren’t familiar with the franchise."
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.
As the decade ends, let’s look back at many of the biggest moments in the Kingdom Hearts series. From games to merchandise, there was something for every Kingdom Hearts fan to enjoy.
The fatal flaws it had just didn't need to be... Shame. :(
